CABBAGE & BLACK MUSTARD SEEDS

BRAISED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Cut cabbage into 6 to 8 wedges, with the widest part no more than 2 inches, leaving the core intact so the wedges stay together while cooking. Place a heavy skillet, large enough to hold wedges fairly snugly, over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup oil and heat until it shimmers. Add the cabbage, and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate, and set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and heat until it shimmers. Add cloves, mustard seeds, curry leaves, bay leaf, shallot and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add ginger, turmeric, 1 tablespoon jalapeño, tomato and broth. Season with salt to taste. If desired, add more jalapeño to taste.
• Increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Add cabbage, fitting it tightly together in the bottom of the pot. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and braise cabbage until tender, about 10 minutes, turning it once halfway through cooking. Remove and discard cloves, curry leaves and bay leaf. If desired, serve with rice.

CABBAGE WITH MUSTARD SEEDS AND COCONUT

Steps:

• First heat the mustard oil in a wok (or large frying pan).
• When the oil is heated, add the mustard seeds and bay leaves.
• When mustard seeds turn gray and start popping (a few seconds) add the cabbage, salt and sugar.
• Quickly toss the cabbage in the oil until it’s lightly coated with oil and add coconut, green chili and optional pepper flakes.
• Keep stirring for 2-5 minutes until the cabbage turns bright green and slightly wilted (but still somewhat crunchy).
• Serve with Basmati rice.
• Note: this dish is also excellent with Brussels sprouts or green beans instead of the cabbage.
