Pointed cabbage vegetables: possible variations
You can easily modify the pointed cabbage depending on the dish:
For Asian-inspired main courses, you can sauté the pointed cabbage in coconut oil and season it with a pinch of grated ginger and chilli flakes to taste. Finally, drizzle a teaspoon of sesame oil on top.
For creamy cabbage, add 200 milliliters of oat cream or organic cream to the vegetable stock. Important: If you use cream made from cow’s milk, make sure that it is organic. You can be sure that the cream comes from cows that are kept in a species-appropriate manner.
To add some color to the cabbage, you can season it with 1/2 teaspoon of turmeric powder or 1 tablespoon of tomato paste.
