Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 2 teaspoons Cumin seeds
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 large Garlic cloves
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoons Red chili flakes
• 2 tablespoons Fresh cilantro (optional)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing the cabbage. Remove any wilted outer leaves, then cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core. Thinly slice the cabbage into fine shreds.

Step 2

Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. If using, roughly chop the fresh cilantro for garnish and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat. Add the olive oil and allow it to heat up for about 30 seconds.

Step 4

Add the cumin seeds to the hot oil and cook for 30 seconds to 1 minute, or until they become fragrant and start to sizzle.

Step 5

Stir in the minced garlic and sauté for 1 minute or until the garlic becomes golden and aromatic. Be careful not to burn it.

Step 6

Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Toss well to coat the cabbage evenly with the cumin and garlic mixture.

Step 7

Sprinkle in the salt, ground black pepper, and red chili flakes. Stir thoroughly to combine all the ingredients.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium-low and cover the skillet with a lid. Allow the cabbage to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender but still slightly crisp. Adjust the cooking time depending on your desired texture.

Step 9

Once cooked, remove the skillet from the heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary.

Step 10

If desired, sprinkle the dish with fresh cilantro and drizzle with lemon juice for added brightness before serving.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own as a light vegan main course.
