Stir Fry Cabbage with Mushrooms
This Stir Fry Cabbage with Mushrooms is an easy one-pan dish with tender cabbage, savory mushrooms, garlic, and warm spices. Ready in about 40 minutes, it works well as a simple vegetarian dinner or vegetable side dish.
Ingredients
- 1 1/2 lb. (600 g) cabbage, thinly sliced
- 1 lb. (450 g) mushrooms, sliced
- 1 onion finely chopped
- 1 carrot finely chopped
- 3 garlic cloves minced
- 3 tbsp. oil
- 1 tsp. salt
- 1/3 tsp. black pepper
- 1 tsp. paprika
- 1 tbsp. tomato paste
- Fresh parsley chopped, for serving
Instructions
- Trim the stem end from the cabbage, then slice it into thin, even strips.
- Finely chop the onion and carrot.
- Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook until softened, then stir in the carrot and continue cooking until both vegetables are tender and lightly caramelized.
- Add the mushrooms and cook until they release their moisture and begin to brown. Let most of the liquid evaporate before moving on.
- Stir in the garlic and cook briefly until fragrant. Add the cabbage, cover the skillet, and cook for about 6 minutes, until it begins to soften.
- Add the salt, black pepper, and paprika, then stir until the vegetables are evenly coated.
- Stir in the tomato paste and cook for another 2 to 3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until everything is well combined and flavorful.
- Sprinkle with fresh parsley and serve hot.
Notes
- Let the mushrooms cook until most of their moisture has evaporated so they can brown instead of steam.
- Slice the cabbage fairly thin so it softens evenly.
- For softer cabbage, cook it a few minutes longer. For more texture, stop cooking once it is tender but still has a little bite.
- Red cabbage can also be used, although it will give the finished dish a deeper color.
- For a slightly smoky flavor, replace some or all of the regular paprika with smoked paprika.
