Cabbage is one of those funny foods. They are easy to grow, grow in less then perfect conditions but on their own they are a chewy tasteless mass.
Thankfully when cooked they take on whatever flavor they are grouped with- especially chili spice.
Change up your winter staples with this cabbage stir fry! It’s rich in seasonal veggies and hardy enough to get you through even the coldest days.
Trying to eat local in Nova Scotia during the winter can get hard, you can only do so much with potatoes, carrots and cabbage for that feels like months until we hit spring again but there’s still lots of opportunities to have fun.
