Cabbage with Cashews

 

1 head cabbage, shredded

1 tbsp. butter

2 tsps. honey

1/4 to 1/2 tsp. cinnamon or nutmeg

1/4 cup cashews, chopped

salt and pepper to taste

 

Saute shredded cabbage in butter for 5 minutes. Add

honey, cinnamon, and cashews and sauté until cabbage

has softened, and/or cover and steam until tender,

about 5 to 10 minutes. Season as desired and serve. If

you are making this with chard, chop the stems and

leaves separately, and sauté the stems in the butter

first, adding the leaves later, with the honey.

Variation for an oriental flavor: Instead of butter,

use good lard, unrefined coconut oil, or olive oil.

Instead of spices and cashews, splash soy sauce on the

sautéing greens and add sesame seeds to taste.

Mandarin orange sections add a nice touch.

Variation with an Ethiopian flavor: Use chopped onion

and saute in butter until crispy tender. Season

generously with turmeric, a very healthful spice, and

toss to blend seasonings.
