Pork Cabbage Skillet
How do I make this low carb skillet dish?
This one pan recipe is a cinch to whip up! Made in just one pan, in about 30 minutes, it’s simple from beginning to end. You’ll thinly slice your vegetables, make sure your pork is thinly sliced as well. Season, cook, bam! Time to eat. Sounds easy, right?
While the recipe calls for simple seasoning, salt and pepper, feel free to add others, like garlic, paprika, etc. Don’t enjoy red onion? That’s ok, you can leave it out. While it does add some delicious flavor, you can easily add other veggies if you’d like. Mushrooms and thinly sliced bell pepper are a lovely addition. A fan of heat? Add some thinly sliced jalapenos! This low carb dish really is so simple to make and almost impossible to mess up.
What should I serve with this pork cabbage skillet?
This low carb dish is already filling and hearty on its own. But if you’re wanting to add a bit to make it heartier, it’s fantastic over mashed cauliflower or mashed potatoes, rice or egg noodles. A loaf of crusty bread would be great as well, to soak up that bit of savory glaze. Yum! I love adding a bit of Trader Joes sweet chili sauce to this right before I dig in. It’s the perfect combination of spicy and sweet.
If you’re looking to round it out with dessert, try these delicious mini cheesecakes or try these amazing German Chocolate Cookies. Seriously droolworthy. Looking to keep dessert low carb as well? Check out this Keto Blackberry Cobbler. It’s as gorgeous as it is delicious!
How do I store the leftovers?
Pop them into the fridge in an air-tight container and eat them within 2 to 3 days. I wouldn’t eat something any later than that. Since the cabbage is cooked already with the pork, I wouldn’t freeze the leftovers either. The cabbage would get a bit too soggy.
To reheat this, you can easily pop it into the microwave in 30 second increments until it’s the desired temperature. If it’s absorbed too much of the sauce, pop it back into the skillet with a tiny bit of low sodium chicken broth and a splash of coconut aminos until warmed through.
I personally prefer glass over plastic food storage and love this set. This oven safe skillet is highly rated, while this Lodge Cast Iron skillet is a steal!
