Description

This Savory Cabbage and Carrot Scramble is a simple yet nourishing dish perfect for any time of day. Tender cabbage, sweet carrots, and savory onions come together in a quick, flavorful scramble that is both comforting and nutritious. With a generous dose of eggs to tie everything together, this dish provides a wholesome and satisfying meal that is quick to prepare.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 kg (35 oz) cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium onion, finely chopped
  • 1 carrot, grated
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 5 large eggs
  • Salt and pepper, to taste
  • Olive oil (or your preferred cooking oil)

Instructions

  1. Heat a tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté for 4-5 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in the grated carrot and cook for another 2 minutes, allowing it to become tender.
  3. Add the minced garlic to the skillet and cook for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the thinly sliced cabbage to the pan, stirring to combine. Season with salt and pepper. Cook the mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage becomes tender and slightly caramelized.
  5. In a separate bowl, whisk the eggs until well combined. Pour the eggs into the skillet, stirring gently to incorporate them with the vegetables. Cook for another 3-5 minutes until the eggs are scrambled and fully cooked through.
  6. Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt and pepper if needed, then serve warm.

Notes

  • You can prepare this dish ahead of time and store it in the refrigerator for 2-3 days. Reheat in a skillet for a quick meal.
  • For a vegan version, simply omit the eggs and use crumbled tofu or another egg alternative. You can also add chickpeas for an added protein boost.
  • Add some chili flakes or hot sauce if you like a bit of spice in your meal.
  • Feel free to experiment by adding other vegetables like bell peppers, zucchini, or spinach to the scramble for extra flavor and nutrition.
