Romanian Cabbage: A €1 Vegan Dinner That Works

Most people think good vegan food requires a "wellness-store" shopping list or expensive meat substitutes. This dish disagrees.

By applying basic culinary logic to the humblest of ingredients—a cabbage—we can create a dinner that is deeply savory, "meaty" in texture, and costs less than €1 per plate. No fluff, no fake meat, just high standards for the ingredients you already have in your pantry.

This is the Romanian Sautéed Cabbage, rebuilt for the modern kitchen.

Ingredients 🥬

🥬 1 Large Cabbage (approx. 1.5kg)
🧅 2 Medium Onions, finely diced
🥕 2 Medium Carrots, finely diced

🧂 Salt & Black Pepper to taste
