We're never eating cold cabbage again after trying it baked! I am one of those people that loves veggies and would gladly make a salad for dinner. On the other hand, Lukas loves making fun of my salads and says that it's not a meal. So whenever I can find a healthy meal that he actually truly enjoys, I make sure to keep note for the next time.
The beauty of this dinner is that the cooked cabbage becomes soft, which goes beautifully with the crispy quinoa. And the shawarma chicken is such a quick and easy protein to add. Overall, it's a pretty hands-off dinner and definitely a crowd pleaser.
