One Skillet Cabbage Dinner #CooktheBooks

One skillet, items normally available in your refrigerator or pantry, 20 minutes and YUM!!

I was inspired to make this dinner while reading the novel Pomegranate Soup for our Cook the Books Club.

Every other month a group of us get together and read a book assigned by one of the 4 co-hosts of Cook the Books Club.  Simona of Briciole is hosting this month and chose the novel Pomegranate Soup.

There is still a LOT of time for you to join in the fun.  You can learn all about how to join in Simona's Invitation Post and the CTB Guidelines.

This novel follows a family of three girls who fled their native Iran to find refuge in Ireland..  The girls open a Persian Restaurant in a small town and are met with varying degrees of welcome from the residents.  

You get to know each of the residents as well as the back story of the Aminpour Sisters.  You will love some and you will hate some but you will, definitely become involved with all of them and their lives.

I enjoyed this novel very much and the food descriptions of the meals prepared in this restaurant were heavenly.  There were recipes included and they are going to be made here very shortly.  So you might wonder why I didn't make Persian food to share with you today. 

I ask myself the same thing. I absolutely adore Persian food but as I read a common thread that ran through this small town was that all the residents were sick and tired of eating cabbage for dinner.  As luck would have it, I had planned on having this Skillet Cabbage Dinner during the week I was reading this novel and it fit in so perfectly that I had to share it.

This is not a serious read, however it does deal with some serious issues.  It will make you laugh and it will make you cry.  It is filled with some fanciful fantasy and light magic that may just not be impossible.......

I'm sure I wouldn't want a steady diet of cabbage dishes but we do eat cabbage in this household a couple of times a month.  We love cabbage and this easy dinner is a definite keeper.  Saute it all up in one skillet, top it with cheese and put it in the oven.

When it is all ooey and gooey and melted it is ready to be served up.  Perfect weeknight dinner.  Delicious and on the table in less than half an hour.

I'm really looking forward to seeing what recipes this novel inspires the others to create.  Simona will share a round up of all the recipes at the end of March so stay tuned for that.

I am also sharing this post over at Foodies Read where you can learn all about what foodies are reading and eating this month.
