Instructions

2-serving instructions (4-serving modifications in red)

Wash produce before use

1

Prep the ingredients

  • Peel and finely chop the shallots.
  • Grate or peel and finely chop the ginger.
  • Finely chop, press, or grate the garlic.
  • Cut away any core from the cabbage; coarsely chop the cabbage.
  • Remove any stems from the grapes.
  • Strip the parsley leaves from the stems; coarsely chop the leaves. Set aside half for garnish.

2

Prep and cook the pork

  • Pat the pork dry with a paper towel; season with salt and pepper. 

In a large frying pan over medium-high heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Add the pork and cook, turning frequently, until browned but still faintly pink within, 8 to 10 minutes. Transfer to a plate. Do not clean the pan. While the pork is cooking, prepare the cabbage.

3

Cook the cabbage

In another large frying pan over medium heat, warm 1 to 2 tablespoons oil until hot but not smoking. Stir in the shallots, ginger, and garlic and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the cabbage and season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage starts to soften, 3 to 5 minutes. 

Stir in the coconut aminos and cook, uncovered, until the cabbage is tender and most of the liquid has evaporated, 1 to 2 minutes. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

4

Cook the grapes

In the same pan used for the pork, warm any residual oil over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add the grapes and cook, stirring occasionally, until starting to blister, 2 to 3 minutes. Stir in the paprika and half the parsley, season with salt and pepper, and cook until fragrant, about 1 minute. Remove from the heat and season to taste with salt and pepper.

Serve

Transfer the cabbage and pork to individual bowls. Spoon the grapes over the pork, garnish with the remaining parsley, and serve.

Kids Can!
