Ingredients

• 0.5 Cups (cup) olive oil
• 4 Medium carrots, sliced
• 1 Medium onion, sliced
• 0.5 Head green cabbage, shredded
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) sea salt
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) black pepper, ground
• 1 Teaspoon (tsp) cumin, ground
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) turmeric, ground
• 5 Medium potatoes, peeled
• 2 Cloves garlic, minced
• 1 Tablespoon (tbsp) balsamic vinegar
• 0.5 Teaspoon (tsp) cajun seasoning

Steps

1. Heat the olive oil in a large non-stick skillet over medium heat. Add the carrots and onion, and sauté for about 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
2. Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional minute until fragrant.
3. Add the shredded cabbage, sea salt, black pepper, cumin, and turmeric. Stir well to combine and cook for 15 to 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender.
4. Incorporate the potatoes into the skillet, ensuring they are evenly distributed. Reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the skillet, and allow the mixture to cook for about 20 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
5. Once the potatoes are tender, add the balsamic vinegar and cajun seasoning. Stir to combine and adjust seasoning to taste.
6. Serve hot as a main dish or a side, garnished with fresh herbs if desired.
