Broccoli and Pea Cabbage Stir Fry

We all have those meals we just do not feel drawn to, for no particular reason. I am not a big fan of cabbage, unless it is cooked in a certain specific way. It takes a short time to cook, and that makes it very easy to over cook. Alot of the times I have had it in various places in Nairobi, it is overcooked. And where there is a problem, that is a chance for you to step in and make that dish to be fantastic. That makes cooking exciting.

Cabbage is a very healthy vegetable and I like adding more character to it to make it more wholesome. Today’s cabbage stir fry is one my mom developed. I did not change/add anything because I felt it was just perfect as mom made it. I liked it so much and decided to share the recipe with you. I have a feeling you will like it just as much 🙂

I apologize for the few blurry images in today’s post. It was a gloomy day and the low light intensity of that day could not let me prosper.

***

1/2 a cabbage, finely chopped

4 carrots, grated

1 can of peas, boiled

1 head of broccoli, chopped

2 small onions, sliced

 

Method

In a sufuria, put some vegetable oil and salt. Add the onions and let them sautee until they are soft.

adding salt to the oil before the saute ensures the entire dish gets evenly seasoned

chopping up briccoli into small pieces makes them steam faster and makes the eating process alot lighter and pleasant

Then add the cabbage, carrots and the broccoli. Mix it all up and let it stay on the heat undisturbed for about 5 minutes. I personally like my veggies without any spices. This allows me to taste the very essence of the vegetable and sometimes spice tends to over power the delicate taste of fresh veggie goodness.

Then add the peas. Mix them in and let them stay on the heat for about 2 minutes. My peas were pre-boiled, that is why I added them towards the end as they were already cooked.

    I have wondered, and wondered, what interesting way there is to cook brocolli. Never found it. Bye spices on brocolli and cauli flower 🙂 Enter peas, cabbage and carrots.
