Cabbage Stir Fry

What you’ll need:

1/2 head of cabbage chopped
5 carrots chopped (one small bag of shredded carrots would also work)
1 large yellow onion
5 red potatoes chopped ( I like the skins left on but you can peel first if you prefer)
Olive oil (enough to coat the bottom of the pan you are using 3-4 TBSP)
1 TSP sea salt or to taste
1 TSP ground black pepper or to taste
1 TBPS turmeric
1 TSP cayenne pepper (you can leave this out)
Fresh cilantro (a few sprigs to use for garnish at the end)
1/2 lime

What you do:

Heat oil in skillet over medium

Add chopped onion and carrots and cook until tender about 5 minutes

Add all spices and cabbage

Let cook until cabbage is soft about 5 minutes

Add potatoes, reduce heat and cook over low heat until potatoes are soft about 15-20 minutes

After you dish this up on a plate or in a bowl squeeze lime juice over mixture and add cilantro

Enjoy!!!
