Ingredients:
- 1 medium head (approx. 2 lbs / 900g) Green Cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 can (15 oz / 425g) Chickpeas, drained and patted dry
- 3 tbsp (45ml) Extra Virgin Olive Oil
- 1 medium (110g) Yellow Onion, diced
- 4 cloves (20g) Garlic, minced
- 1 tsp (2g) Ground Cumin
- 1 tsp (2g) Smoked Paprika
- 1/2 tsp (3g) Sea Salt
- 1/4 tsp (1g) Black Pepper
- 1 tbsp (15ml) Fresh Lemon Juice
- 1/4 cup (15g) Fresh Parsley, chopped
Instructions:
- Heat 3 tbsp extra virgin olive oil in a large cast iron or stainless steel skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
- Add the thinly sliced green cabbage in batches to avoid crowding the pan. Let the cabbage sit undisturbed for 3-4 minutes until the edges are mahogany-colored and charred, then toss and repeat until all the cabbage is browned.
- Push the charred cabbage to the outer edges of the pan. In the center, add the diced yellow onion and sauté for 3 minutes until translucent.
- Stir in the drained and patted dry chickpeas, cooking for another 5 minutes until they begin to pop and turn golden brown.
- Add the minced garlic, 1 tsp ground cumin, 1 tsp smoked paprika, 1/2 tsp sea salt, and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Stir constantly for 60 seconds to toast the spices without burning the garlic.
- Return all the cabbage to the center, folding it into the chickpeas, and sauté for another 3-5 minutes until the cabbage is tender-crisp.
- Remove the pan from the heat. Drizzle 1 tbsp fresh lemon juice over the mixture and toss in the chopped fresh parsley.
