    Cabbage and Apple Stir-Fry

    In the kingdom of leafy greens and succulent fruits, two unsung heroes reign supreme with a harmony that's more than just an odd pairing – it's a match made in culinary heaven. I’m talking about Cabbage and Apple – a duo that not only tantalizes the taste buds but also tag-teams your health goals with gusto.

    While the Cabbage and Apple Stir-Fry stands out on its own with its mix of flavors and textures, it can be paired with a variety of dishes to create a balanced and fulfilling meal. Consider serving it alongside a Grilled Trout with Parsley, Dill and Lemon for a smokey accompaniment, or, for a light and comforting meal, add a layer of warmth to accompany the vibrant stir-fry by serving it with Egg Drop Soup.

    Ingredients

    Serves: 4 Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 6 minutes

    • Cooking fat
    • 1 ½ lbs cabbage (a mix of red and green is ideal)
    • 1 large apple
    • 1 thinly sliced onion
    • 1 finely chopped red chilli
    • 1 tablespoon chopped thyme
    • 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

    How to Make Cabbage and Apple Stir-Fry

    Chop the cabbage finely and pat it dry with a towel.

    Core and slice the apple. Stir-fry the apple for a minute in cooking fat until it just barely starts to soften. 

    Remove the apple from the wok and set aside. 

    Reheat the wok and stir-fry the onion for another minute with a little bit more cooking fat. 

    Add the cabbage and stir-fry for another 3 minutes. Return the apple slices, add the thyme and apple cider vinegar and cover to steam for a minute. 

    Add the almonds and stir well.
