Healthy Sautéed Red Cabbage

Healthy Sautéed Red Cabbage
We tried this recipe last night. But I made a few moderations to it. The original recipe can be found here. My modifications are in red.

Prep and Cook Time: 5 minutes

Ingredients:
4 cups red cabbage, shredded
1 TBS lemon juice
5 TBS low sodium chicken or vegetable broth

I added maui onions because I had them.
I added garlic too.

Mediterranean Dressing
3 TBS extra virgin olive oil
1 TBS lemon juice
1 medium clove garlic, chopped or pressed
Sea salt, and pepper to taste (We don't add any salt or pepper.)


Optional:

2 TBS grated ginger (We couldn't find any fresh ginger root last night at Mother's so I used the spice I had.)
1 TBS sesame seeds
5 drops soy sauce
1 TBS chopped cilantro
few drops of rice vinegar/rice wine
 

Directions:

Quarter cabbage, slice into 1/4-inch strips, and let sit for at least 5 minutes to bring out the hidden health benefits of cabbage.

Chop or press garlic and let sit for at least 5 minutes.

Sprinkle cabbage with 1 TBS lemon juice before cooking to prevent it from turning blue.
Heat 5 TBS broth over medium heat in a stainless steel skillet.

When broth begins to steam, add cabbage and cover.

Sauté for no more than 5 minutes.

Transfer to a bowl.

For more flavor, toss cabbage with the dressing ingredients and any of the optional ingredients you desire while it is still hot.

(Mediterranean Dressing does not need to be made separately.)

Serves 2
