  5. Chop your almonds unless you buy pre chopped.
  6. If you are toasting your coconut and almonds, preheat oven to 400F. Quickly toast your coconut and almonds
  7. on a lined baking tray for 5 minutes or until golden brown coconut. Almonds will just be lightly toasted. Remove and set aside. See notes for quick toasting.
  8. Next heat a large frying pan with your oil over medium.
  9. Add mustard seed and cover slightly with top so they don’t pop out.
  10. Once they start “popping”, add your cabbage, carrot, peppers, 1/4 tsp salt and white pepper. Mix together.
  11. Next add optional coconut/palm sugar, apple cider vinegar or lime juice, and 3/4 cup of your almonds/coconut mix. Save some for the garnish/topping.
  12. Mix and cook 3-4 minutes on medium heat.
  13. Remove from heat and place into large bowl. Garnish with extra almond/coconut, cilantro and tabasco if desired. Serve into bowls or family style. Extra salt/pepper if desired.

Notes

*Note: Quick toast in toaster oven. Spread almonds and coconut together on lined toaster oven tray. Toast for 3-5 minutes in toasted oven @ 350-400F.

If you can’t find spicy red or green chili peppers, you can use thai birds eye peppers or jalapeños.

This keeps well for a few days covered in fridge.

If you are wanting a whole 30 dish , omit sugar.
