I threw this together one night when I was craving a Cajun chicken pasta dish I used to make. I've missed it since going low-carb. This dish was a perfect substitute! Great texture and a very, very mild vegetable flavor. Mostly just Cajun yumminess! Adjust the spices to your taste.

Ingredients

Original recipe (1X) yields 4 servings

  • ½ teaspoon ground cumin

  • ½ teaspoon onion powder

Directions

  1. Combine chili powder, thyme, smoked paprika, oregano, cayenne pepper, cumin, onion powder, and salt in a bowl.

  2. Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook and stir onion in hot butter until translucent, about 5 minutes. Add garlic and cook until soft, about 2 minutes; stir shredded cabbage into onion and garlic. Cook and stir cabbage mixture until cabbage starts to soften, about 5 more minutes.

Recipe Tips

The spice quantities are a guide. Add or subtract to your taste (and heat tolerance).

The cabbage should be small. You need a yield of about 5 cups shredded cabbage.
