Sauteed Turmeric Cabbage with Peas
This turmeric cabbage is the perfect side to any main course or just on its own. Sauteed with garlic and onions along with peas this gets done in less than 15 minutes.

Ingredients and substitutes
- Cabbage – Green cabbage works best with turmeric as it gives a wonderful yellow color.
- Onions – I like using red Spanish onions for that added sweetness.
- Garlic – a little goes a long way. I prefer to use sliced but you can also mince it.
- Turmeric – A very aromatic spice often found in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking. It is available in most supermarkets these days on the spice rack.

Step by step instructions
- In a saute pan, add oil, saute garlic and onions to two minutes
- Add turmeric powder, cabbage, and green peas. Followed by the broth. Combine well.
Tip – I like to use my food processor with the shredding attachment which is quick and easy. - Season with salt and pepper.
- Cook for 5 to 8 minutes or until desired tenderness (you want the cabbage tender but still have a bite).
- Serve hot. Leftovers can be kept in the fridge for 4 to 5 days.
