Time and time again, I just marvel at the simplicity of our cooking here in Trinidad and Tobago. With just a few ingredients we could whip up a tasty meal very quickly. To me, it seems like a common thread amongst all the cultures that inhabit the island. Fry Cabbage is a simple yet delicious dish that is easy to prepare and can be enjoyed as a side dish or a main course. Cabbage, being a cruciferous vegetable, is a great source of vitamins and minerals such as vitamin C, K, and folate. It is also low in calories, making it a great addition to a healthy diet.
