Saute of Cabbage and Cracked Wheat – Marshoosheh
This recipe is all thanks to a lovely lady who kindly shared her family’s Lebanese recipe the other day at the mobile kitchen (thank you its delicious).
Serves 4
½ head of cabbage, sliced into long slices
1 large onion, diced
4 Tbsp cracked/dried wheat (Burghul)
½ to 1 tsp hot Chili powder or Cayenne pepper (to taste)
½ tsp salt
5-7 Tbsp olive oil
Method
Place the olive oil and chopped onions in a large frying pan and lightly fry them for 5 minutes on medium heat
Add sliced cabbage and mix well with onions
Add salt, Cayenne pepper, sprinkle the cracked wheat and mix well
Add a 1/4 cup of water, mix well with ingredients, cover pot and let simmer on low-medium heat for 10-15 minutes while occasionally stirring.
This is usually served hot with Pita bread but it’s equally delicious if served cold and I think it would work beautifully with pork, beef or fish as well.
