Ingredients

2 servings

2 tbsp olive oil
3 scallions, green tops only, thinly sliced (white and light-green parts reserved for another use)
Ingredient note
Scallions are the mildest of the onion family, and only a small amount is used here. That is likely fine for most people with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid scallions, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
3 cloves garlic, minced
Chef's tip
Swap it in for an equal amount of the oil or butter the recipe cooks with - do not add it on top of the existing fat.
½ small head green cabbage (about 4 cups), cored and thinly sliced
1 medium zucchini, halved lengthwise and sliced into half-moons
½ tsp ground cumin
¼ tsp smoked paprika
Ingredient note
Smoked paprika is a mild spice with very little heat, and this recipe uses only about 1/8 teaspoon per serving. That is likely fine for most people with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid smoked paprika, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
¼ tsp red pepper flakes (optional)
Can be omitted
red pepper flakes
½ tsp salt, plus more to taste
¼ tsp black pepper
Ingredient note
Black pepper can worsen reflux in some people, but the small amount in this recipe (~1/8 teaspoon per serving) is likely tolerated by many with GERD. If you prefer to always avoid black pepper, please tap it and change its rating to Red.
1 tbsp apple cider vinegar
4 large eggs
2 tbsp fresh parsley, roughly chopped (optional)

Instructions

1
Heat the olive oil in a 12-inch skillet over medium heat until shimmering. Add the scallion greens and garlic and cook, stirring, until softened and fragrant, about 1–2 minutes. Watch the garlic closely so it does not brown.
2
Add the cabbage, zucchini, cumin, smoked paprika, red pepper flakes (if using), salt, and black pepper. Stir to coat everything in the oil and spices, then cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is wilted and tender and the zucchini is just cooked through, about 10–12 minutes.
