    Delicious sautéed purple cabbage with fresh coriander


    What I love most about this dish is that it's downright beautiful. Pantone has established that purple, and all its tonalities, are the food color for 2018 and I concur wholeheartedly. There are so many wonderful purple foods from purple cabbage to beets to eggplant and each one is gorgeous, delicious and rich in nutrients.

    Sautéed purple cabbage with fresh coriander is great because it can be prepared in just 15 minutes. Here’s how:

    Sautéed Purple Cabbage with Fresh Coriander

    Ingredients:
    425 g purple cabbage, cored, halved and thinly sliced

    125 g purple onions, minced
    2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
    2 abundant handfuls of fresh coriander leaves.

    Procedure:
    Sauté the onion in the olive oil until tender and translucent.
    Add the cabbage and sauté until tender crisp.
    If the purple cabbage gets too dry while you're sautéing then add a few tablespoons of water as needed.
    Toss in all the coriander leaves, setting aside a few to use as a garnish.
    Sauté the cabbage and coriander just until the coriander begins to wilt.
    Serve the sautéed purple cabbage with fresh coriander alongside almost any main course dish or on its own.
