Cabbage is probably not on most peoples top 10 list of vegetables but our guests thoroughly enjoyed this curried cabbage recipe which I served as a bed for brined and braised chicken thighs. The agave nectar helps to take away some of the bitterness and the curry adds a zest to the dish. Make sure to season with salt to enhance the natural flavors and then add a touch of fresh black pepper.
Cabbage is a great source of nutrients which I listed below and also contains a high amount of Omega-3 fatty acids. There’s actually more Omega-3’s in 100 calories of cabbage than 100 calories of salmon!

This has my mouth watering. I love cabbage so much, probably my favorite vegetable and adding curry…what could be better. Can’t wait to get to the grocery to get a head of cabbage so I can make this.
It’s surprisingly delicious! I also like to add curry to dishes to give that extra flavor.
I couldn’t agree more!
I think cabbage is definitely underrated. Like so many other vegetables, it really depends on how it’s prepared. And when it’s made with curry powder, how could you go wrong?!
