Step-by-Step Professional Preparation
1. Preparing the red cabbage:
We start by removing the outer leaves of the red cabbage. Cut it into fine julienne strips. Wash it well and steam it or boil it in water with a pinch of Bonsalt for about 15-20 minutes, aiming for it to be "al dente." Drain very well and set aside.
2. Aromatic sauté:
In a wide frying pan or wok, heat the 3 tablespoons of Olive Oil . Slice the garlic cloves and finely chop the spring onion. Brown them over medium heat until they start to take on color. If we decide to use pine nuts, add them at this point so they can toast lightly.
3. Sautéing the prawns:
Turn up the heat and add the peeled prawns. Sauté quickly for 2 or 3 minutes until they change color. It is important not to overcook them so they stay juicy. Season with white pepper and an extra touch of Bonsalt .
4. Final assembly:
Add the reserved red cabbage to the pan with the prawns. Pour in a splash of apple cider vinegar, which will help set the cabbage's bright color and add a very balanced touch of acidity. Sauté everything together for 2 minutes so the flavors blend perfectly.
This red cabbage with prawns recipe is a delicious and different way to eat vegetables. Go ahead and make it for your friends and enjoy an explosion of color and health on the plate!
