While my sense of curiosity and culinary adventure is what kindles my enthusiasm for exploring new types of food, more often than not, I am drawn back to the roots at the heart of Mauritian cuisine. As far as ingredients are concerned, I try to keep traditional Mauritian dishes as authentic as possible \u2014 sometimes with my own personal touch \u2014 based on what is available locally in Montreal. It is more than a joy to be able to recreate the simple dishes of home.<\/p>\n

Luckily, it is easy enough to find most of the ingredients required for today\u2019s recipe \u2014 a simple side dish that many Mauritians are pretty fond of. Cabbage and potatoes come together in a skillet braised-style cooking to lend exceptional flavour to these humble inexpensive vegetables. The best meals are often the simplest ones.<\/p>\n

In the Mauritian language, which is the Mauritian Creole, this preparation is called \u201ctouffer lisou\u201d (or “lichou”, pronounced toofay lee sue). So, \u201c lisou\u201d from the French \u201cle chou\u201d means cabbage and \u201ctouffer\u201d is a braised method of cooking where the vegetables are first saut\u00e9ed with onions, garlic, ginger and some spices then cooked covered (i.e. steamed) with a little water. This method of cooking infuses a lot of flavour into the cabbage. The addition of potatoes makes the dish more creamy and satisfying but you may omit the potatoes like I sometimes do for a lighter side dish.<\/p>\n

If you can reasonably multi-task, then it is quite time efficient to prep the vegetables alongside cooking to make use of the in-between time when some ingredients are cooking.<\/p>\n

This side dish can be served as part of any meal with rice or bread. I personally love to accompany it with brown rice and stewed lentils.<\/p>\n
