Notes
Invent Your Recipe:
In this Healthy Cabbage Recipe (No Sugar Added) I am using fresh cherry tomatoes. For the tomatoes canned diced tomatoes will work as well. They are inexpensive and easy to use so I always recommend them in recipes. I have also used sun dried tomatoes, black olives, and roasted red peppers in this dish. I encourage you to try a variety of ingredients to pair with the eggplant and cabbage. I am intentionally keeping this recipe sugar free by not adding any sweet sauces or sugar. The natural sugars from the vegetables provide a wonderful flavor when enhanced by the salt, ground black pepper, and sauce. However, if you want a little bit of a sweeter dish, add in your favorite stir fry sauce, teriyaki sauce, or favorite sweet sauce.
