Sauteed Turmeric Cabbage with Peas
This turmeric cabbage is the perfect side to any main course or just on its own. Sautéed 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, giving it 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 garlic, but you can also mince it.
- Turmeric – A very aromatic spice often found in Indian and Middle Eastern cooking. These days, it is available in most supermarkets on the spice rack.
Step-by-step: Sautéed Turmeric Cabbage
- In a saute pan, add oil, saute garlic and onions for two minutes.
- Add turmeric powder, cabbage, and green peas. Followed by the broth. Combine well.
Pro 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.

Veena, this looks amazing. Cabbage plays a huge role in Caribbean cooking so this would make a great side dish for some steamed fish.
Thank you, Charla. I am so happy to hear that. I usually have pan-fired fish or fried eggs with mine.
