Ingredients
Scale
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1 medium onion, finely chopped
- 1 carrot, grated
- 2 lb / 900g white cabbage, shredded
- 5–6 eggs, beaten
- 1 tbsp all-purpose flour (optional)
- Manchego cheese, grated (optional)
- Fresh parsley, chopped (optional)
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
- Stir in the grated carrot and shredded cabbage. Continue sautéing for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but slightly crisp.
- In a separate bowl, beat the eggs. If you prefer a thicker texture, whisk in the optional tablespoon of flour. Add the beaten eggs to the skillet, stirring gently to combine with the cabbage and carrots. Cook for 2-3 minutes, allowing the eggs to scramble and cook through.
- If desired, sprinkle grated Manchego cheese over the top of the dish and let it melt into the eggs and cabbage.
- Garnish with freshly chopped parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- For a creamier texture, you can add a splash of milk or cream to the beaten eggs before adding them to the skillet.
- To make the dish more filling, you can add cooked sausage or bacon for extra protein and flavor.
- Feel free to experiment with different cheeses like cheddar or feta for a unique twist on the dish.
