Fried Cabbage and Potatoes with Peanuts

 

1/2 medium cabbage

2  to 3 large potatoes

1 onion

A handful of raw peanuts

salt and black pepper

vegetable oil for frying

 

Slice the cabbage roughly into thin strips, dice the potato into 2 cm pieces and

chop the onion. Put some vegetable oil into a fairly large deep pan with a lid

(you'll notice how the cabbage expands when it's chopped up - it'll shrink again

but your pan needs to be big enough to hold everything at the beginning)

Heat the oil and throw in the chopped onion. Let it cook for a few minutes till

it starts to soften and become transparent. Next, add the potatoes and peanuts

along with some salt and pepper. Stir to coat everything with oil and put the

cabbage on top. Jam it all into the pan and put the lid on tightly. After 5

minutes or so stir the ingredients, turn down to medium heat and replace the

lid. Cook for about another 20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until the

potatoes are soft and don't worry if the mixture starts sticking to the pan and

browning - it adds to the taste. You can add a splash (no more) of water if you

think it's starting to burn.
