Simple Cabbage Saute Recipe| Side Dish for Flatbread

Last Modified: April 17, 2015

In my vegetable likes list, there are ranges from frenzy to hatred. If you know, what i m talking about, then you also have a similar list. Coming to the list itself, while there are some veggies that can give me a heady feeling of euphoria, ( almost like the fragrance of petrol or even some varnish) there are some which i think are probably God s way of punishing the once excessively naughty and troublesome me. Well, you guessed it right and one such veggie is the Cabbage. The ubiquitous cabbage. The smelly cabbage. The cabbage in red. The cabbage in green. The cabbage in yellow. The cabbage that tastes bitter. The cabbage with the thick and lumpy leaves. Oh, i could go on and on.


If you allow me, i ll write a sonnet or an ode for the cabbage and will probably call it An Ode To The Vegetable That Needs A Body Spray sort of thing. Do you get my idea? Now that i ve actually started off, i might as well write a sonnet or rather an ode. It will probably go like this.

 The fat ole cabbage, 
stink full of leaves,
And some of greens.
In the lush green fields,
A place it has,
And people who tend to it,
But no matter what,
Its just stink that the cabbage leaves. 
So full of peeves.
The deep purple ones,
the creamy yellow tonnes,
And then the spring green fellas.
So much of color and yet all the same. 
No matter what color,
what shape.
The cabbage is just one big round 
which is lifeless and 
then of course, tasteless!

Now that s what happens when you get me started on cabbage. I cant believe i wrote a whole poem. Ok so now that i ve told you all about my intense dislike for cabbage, i also have to agree that its not as bad as it smells and then, there s the phosphorous in it. So i do eat it now and then but i make sure that i make it in a decent way. This is just one of my ways of making cabbage and is probably as easy as eating a cake. Try it on one of those days when you are not upto too much chopping or when you are running late for that pedicure appointment but yet to make lunch. Oh and yeah and by the way, i must accept,cabbage makes a fantastic photo subject. So its definitely not as bad as it stinks. I m just saying.

    somewhere in the lush green fields the cabbage would be grinning – paeans to the veggie would be something new for it even if they were not exactly propping it to Godly status. I add grated fresh coconut to elevate the dish to a different level.<br />Nice stir fry
