Fried Cabbage and Potatoes with Peanuts

 

1/2 medium cabbage

2 to 3 large potatoes

1 onion

handful of raw peanut nuts

salt and black pepper

vegetable oil for frying

 

Slice the cabbage roughly into thin strips, dice the potato into 1/2 inch

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.
