Ingredients for the quick carrots and savoy cabbage side dish
- 9 oz carrots (weight after trimming (about 4 medium carrots))
- 5 oz savoy cabbage (weight after trimming (about 1 3/4 cups shredded))
- 1 small bunch parsley
- feta (quantity as desired)
- extra virgin olive oil
- salt
- black pepper
Tools
- 1 Pan
Preparation of the quick carrots and savoy cabbage side dish
Peel and trim the carrots, wash them, pat them dry with paper towels and cut them into thin sticks. Do not julienne them using a coarse-hole grater, because they would become too soft during cooking; rather slice them and cut sticks.
Finely slice the savoy cabbage. I used a slicer but a knife works just fine.
In a pan (or skillet), heat a few tablespoons of oil before adding the carrots. Sauté over medium heat for 5 minutes, stirring very often.
Then add the savoy cabbage and continue cooking for another 4 minutes, stirring frequently. The vegetables should be dry and the carrots still slightly crunchy.
Season with salt and pepper to taste, give one last stir then turn off the heat.
Transfer the vegetables to a serving plate, add crumbled feta (use as much as you prefer) and finish with chopped parsley.
Tell me this quick carrots and savoy cabbage side dish isn’t really easy to prepare! You’ll also notice how good it is both warm and at room temperature. Enjoy! Paola.
