Ingredients Method Notes

Ingredients
  

  • 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)

Method
 

  1. Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the finely chopped onion and cook for 2-3 minutes until softened.
  2. Stir in the grated carrot and shredded cabbage. Continue sautéing for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but slightly crisp.
  3. 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.
  4. If desired, sprinkle grated Manchego cheese over the top of the dish and let it melt into the eggs and cabbage.
  5. 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.
