Ginger Garlic Saute

I love making a big batch of this dish as a side or addition to my salads during the week. The combination of ginger and garlic is simply divine and adds a punch to any meal. Loaded with healthy gut and liver loving purple cabbage, carrots and sesame, this makes for a great side alongside a plate of meatballs, steak or fish.

 

Ingredients

Serves 2

• 2 teaspoons sesame seeds, toasted
• 1 tablespoon coconut oil
• 1 small onion, thinly sliced
• 2 cups shredded purple cabbage
• Sea salt and black pepper
• 2.5cm piece of ginger, grated
• 2 large carrots, shredded
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• ½ teaspoon toasted sesame oil

 

Directions

1. To toast your sesame seeds, heat a dry sauté pan on low flame. When the pan is hot, add the sesame seeds. Toast for about 2 minutes until golden. Remove the sesame seeds from the pan so that they don’t continue cooking. Set aside to use in the final step.
2. Next, take a sauté pan and add 1 tablespoon of coconut oil. When the pan is hot, add the onions. Sauté until soft.
3. Add purple cabbage, salt, and black pepper. Allow the cabbage to soften.
4. Next, add ginger, shredded carrots, and garlic. Sauté for 2 minutes.
5. When the cabbage and other vegetables are soft to your liking, turn off the flame and top with toasted sesame oil and toasted sesame seeds.
