Quick Braised Cabbage

• 1 1/2 lbs savoy cabbage
• 1/4 cup canola oil (plus 1 tablespoon)
• 2 whole cloves
• 1 tablespoon black mustard seeds
• 20 curry leaves
• 1 bay leaf
• 2 tablespoons shallots, minced
• 2 teaspoons garlic cloves, minced (about 4 whole cloves)
• 2 tablespoons fresh ginger, peeled and julienned
• 1/2 tablespoon ground turmeric
• 1 -2 tablespoon jalapeno pepper, minced
• 1 cup tomatoes, diced (fresh or canned)
• 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth
• kosher salt

1. Cut cabbage into 2-inch wedges (you'll have 6 to 8 of them), leaving the core intact so that the wedges stay together while they cook.
2. Heat a heavy skillet, over medium heat, and add 1/4 cup oil; heat this until it shimmers, then add cabbage.
3. Cook cabbage, turning once, so that it is browned on both sides, abut 2 to 3 minutes per side; transfer to a plate and set aside.
4. Reduce heat in skillet to medium low, add remaining tablespoon oil; add cloves, mustard seeds, curry leaves, bay leaf, shallot, and garlic, cooking and stirring 1 minute.
5. Add ginger, turmeric, 1 tablespoon jalapeno, tomato, and broth; season with salt (you can add more jalapeno to taste).
6. Increase heat to medium high and bring to a boil; return cabbage, cover, reduce heat to medium, and braise until tender, about 10 minutes (turn once halfway through braising).
7. Remove and discard cloves, curry leaves, and bay leaf.
