Cabbage Medley

Ok. This is not from a restaurant. Actually my brother Dwayne made this the other night. It is called Cabbage Medley and it is sooooooo tasty! Not only that, it is good for you as well. This recipe is a great way to make sure you are eating all of the colors. Also, this recipe is very cost efficient to make. I think I paid about 25-30 dollars total for all of the ingredients. When you buy the ingredients it doesn't seem like it will make a lot of food. I personally know as a college student that you cant go wrong with healthy, tasty, cost efficient, and long lasting food to eat. So here is the recipe:

1 small head of cabbage...cut up

Onion: white and red

Bell Pepper: green, orange, red and yellow

Mushroom

Squash

Zucchini

Fresh garlic clove...chopped

1 package of Hillshire Hot & Spicy sausage

1 pound of extra large shrimp

2 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil

1 can of vegetable broth

Directions: Chop up all ingredients..in a large skillet saute the sausage and shrimp with extra virgin olive oil, Creole seasoning, and garlic powder. Once that is done add the vegetable broth and the vegetables. Steam them to your liking. It is good by itself, or over rice (yellow or white) or noodles.


Now, I am currently doing an experiment for someone so I cannot eat meat this month. Since, seafood is not considered meat (some vegetarians do eat seafood) I did use the shrimp. However, I also added crab meat and vegetarian italian sausage (made my Morning Star) to substitute for the lack of sausage. I couldn't find vegetable broth in Walmart so I used some chicken broth I had. I also didn't buy the garlic I just used my garlic powder from my cabinet. I am a fan of noodles so I put my medley over the garden rotini to go with the healthy colors theme. The longest part of this recipe was chopping all of the ingredients..i hate chopping!! But, after that it basically cooks itself. You just have to stir it occasionally, and for me season it occasionally. I used Tony's Creole seasoning and Old Bay.

The cabbage medley is great and definitely something you gotta try!!!!
