Cavolo Rosso al Vapore

Cavolo Rosso al Vapore is a vibrant and nutritious Italian dish featuring steamed red cabbage, enhanced with a zesty dressing of olive oil and vinegar. This low-carb delight is perfect for a light lunch, offering a beautiful balance of flavors and textures.

Ingredients

• Red cabbage - 300 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Apple cider vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Garlic - 1 clove, minced
• Salt - 1/2 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/4 teaspoon
• Fresh parsley - 1 tablespoon, chopped

Steps

1. Begin by removing the outer leaves of the red cabbage and cutting it into quarters. Remove the core and slice the cabbage into thin strips.
2. In a steamer pot, bring water to a boil. Place the sliced cabbage in the steamer basket and steam for about 10-12 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but still vibrant in color.
3. While the cabbage is steaming, prepare the dressing. In a small bowl, whisk together the olive oil, apple cider vinegar, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper until well combined.
4. Once the cabbage is steamed, transfer it to a serving bowl. Drizzle the dressing over the cabbage and toss gently to combine.
5. Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving. Enjoy your Cavolo Rosso al Vapore warm or at room temperature.
