Next, add the cut strips of pointed cabbage to the pan. Sauté the mixture, allowing the cabbage to cook until it’s lightly colored yet still maintains a bit of bite. This step is key to ensuring the cabbage adds texture to the dish.
Step 4: Combine Ingredients
Now, it's time to add in the previously cooked sweet potatoes. Mix everything together and season the combination with a drizzle of maple syrup, a pinch of salt, a dash of pepper, and a squeeze of lemon juice. These seasonings will elevate the flavors, combining sweetness with a hint of acidity.
Step 5: Toast the Walnuts
As a final touch, take the roughly chopped walnuts and roast them briefly in a dry pan. This will enhance their flavor and give them a satisfying crunch that is essential for contrast in this dish.
