Aromatic cabbage

When starting a vegetarian diet, you start noticing the number of calories, and the satiety index (or fullness factor), to obtain a balaced diet not forgetting to keep fit. Cabbage is a low-calorie ingredient, just 20 Kcal/100gr, with a high sense of satiety. Delicious raw, it is possible to eat it in great quantities, even if often is savoured in the cooking process with fats that nullify the low-calorie element. A good advice is to use extra virgin olive oil instead of butter, preferring low-alcohol wines, trying to use as less as possible, savour with spices and herbs more than using vegetable stock cubes or other preparations.

Red or white cabbage

Fresh onion (very little)
Salt

Extra virgin DOP olive oil
White wine for the white cabbage and red low-alcohol for the red cabbage

Spices (cardamom, caraway seeds, ginger, curry, etc.)

 

Brown the minced fresh onion and  the tiny sliced ginger in oil, add the cabbage cut into strips, salt, cook untill winted, add the wine  and the spices, evaporate the alcohol, cover and cook at a low-heat. Instead of wine it is possible to use beer, possibly a diet beer, adding caraway seed instead of ginger.
