Dinner for One - Cabbage Saute

Admittedly this was lunch, but it could just as easily be dinner.  The inspiration for this meal was Reuben sandwich.

1/2 Small Cabbage
1/4 to 1/2 cup Pulled Pork
1 small can Green Chilies
1 tsp Dijon Mustard
1/2 tsp Caraway Seeds
Salt and Pepper to Taste

Toss everything in a skillet and saute on medium heat until the cabbage is tender.  Roughly 10 to 15 minutes.  Serve on top of a toasted piece of bread with some cheese on top.  Obviously the bread and cheese are optional.  What really makes the dish are the caraway seeds.  The caraway seeds provide the distinctive flavor that rye bread has which is goes right along with a Reuben.  If you don't happen to have leftover pulled pork you could easily substitute some other protein, like a sausage link, ground beef or ground turkey.  Whatever you happen to have on hand will work just fine.
