Cabbage with Green Peas

• ½ -- Head of green cabbage finely sliced
• 1 -- Onion, finely sliced
• 2 -- Fresh green chilies, sliced
• ½ cup (125 mL) -- Frozen peas, thawed
• ½ tsp (2 mL) -- Turmeric
• 1 tsp (5 mL) -- Black mustard seeds
• ¼ cup (50 mL) -- Vegetable oil
• To taste... -- Salt

Heat oil over medium heat in a heavy bottom saucepan. As soon as you see a slight haze, add the mustard seeds. As they sputter add turmeric and salt. Immediately add the cabbage and onions. Coat well with mixture. Turn heat to low, cover, and cook until tender crisp. Add the green chilies and peas (peas take very little time to cook). Mix well, cover and cook for another two to three minutes. NOTE: This dish tastes better tender crisp, so if you're planning to reheat and serve, keep slightly underdone; the heat will continue to cook the veggies.
