Cabbage Savage
(Serves 6-8) ~ Vegan, Gluten-Free, Soy-Free
This cabbage has a slight kick but you can add/adjust as needed. It is super addicting – hence the name… this cabbage is fierce. We are on our way starting our next chapter. Friday was my last day at my prior employer and I’m setting up to begin my new career; Seth started yesterday in his new position as well.
I watched some new documentaries recently that I will update on my list. Netflix has some great documentaries and not just the food ones. I watched The Human Experiment and Plastic Paradise. Not only are GMO’s a concern for us but what about the other countless “invisible” toxic chemicals that we are exposed to? It’s no wonder there has been such an increase in: cancer, dementia, autism, obesity, etc. It seems we are really dropping the ball here. It’s like a question of what came first, the chicken or the egg… except it’s more like, the chem industry or the pharm industry. I love watching documentaries and reading articles, although I’ve seen many, let me know if there are any you recommend?
Ingredients:
1 Head Green Cabbage, cleaned and chopped/shredded (I just use my knife)
1 Tbsp Canola Oil
3 Tbsp Earth Balance (vegan butter)
½ Tbsp Crushed Red Pepper Flakes
2 Tsp Minced Garlic
2 Tsp Salt
1 Tsp Course Black Pepper
½ Tsp Chili Powder
½ Tsp Tarragon
Directions:
-Clean and shred cabbage then set aside. I just slice it up on my cutting board. Be sure to remove the outer thick leaves and quarter/core before shredding and washing.
-In a large pot, heat canola oil over medium-high heat. Add red pepper flakes and minced garlic and heat through for about 1-2 minutes. (Be careful it can quickly burn).
-Add Earth Balance butter and cabbage. Cover and let it cook down for about 10 minutes.
-Stir after 5 minutes so it all sautés and begins to cook evenly.
-After 10 minutes stir again and add seasonings: salt, pepper, chili powder and tarragon. Cover and continue cooking.
I cook for a total time of about 20 minutes and then I turn off heat and allow it to sit for 5 minutes before serving – but keeping the lid on. Enjoy!
Mmmm, I love cabbage … looks good! Have never thought of using tarragon!

Sauerkraut is watery and has sharp, fermented bite to it, going great on a veggiedog with mustard and sriracha, while Cabbage Savage is going to have a smooth, buttery heat that also goes well with sriracha. Bake a potato and put this cabbage dish right in. Vegan heaven. Thanks for sharing! 😀
