My Hungarian ancestry always brings me back to dishes like this. Simple, comforting, and easy to imagine eating around a music filled campfire. With only a few simple (power packed and very affordable) ingredients, this stunning dish is a cinch to prepare.

Ingredients

1 head of red cabbage, thinly sliced
1 Tablespoon of olive oil
1-2 cloves garlic, finely chopped
1 teaspoon of smoked paprika
1 teaspoon of poppy seeds
1 teaspoon of sea salt (or to taste)
1 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper, to taste

Instructions

In a deep skillet, saute chopped garlic in the olive oil on medium-low heat for 1 minute.
Add paprika and poppy seeds and saute 1 minute more until fragrant.
Add sliced red cabbage, stir, and cover pan. Cook for 5-7 minutes until wilted and tender.
Season with salt, black pepper, and additional paprika and poppy seeds if desired. Enjoy!

Notes

Be sure to saute the paprika and poppy seeds with the garlic and oil before you add the cabbage, to really release their flavors into the dish. Sprinkle with additional poppy seeds and smoked paprika just before serving and you will be one happy camper.
