★Ingredients
1 medium head of cabbage, chopped
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 large onion, chopped
2 cloves garlic, minced
1 large carrot, grated
1 bell pepper, chopped
1 teaspoon paprika
1 teaspoon coriander
1 teaspoon turmeric
1 teaspoon cumin
Salt and pepper to taste
1 can (14.5 oz) diced tomatoes
1 cup vegetable broth
1 tablespoon soy sauce (optional)
Fresh parsley or cilantro for garnish
Meat broth with frozen vegetables
★Instructions
- Prepare the Vegetables: Chop the cabbage, onion, bell pepper, and grate the carrot. Mince the garlic.
- Cook the Onions and Garlic: Heat the vegetable oil in a large skillet or pot over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes. Add the minced garlic and cook for another minute, being careful not to burn it.
- Add the Vegetables: Add the chopped cabbage, grated carrot, and chopped bell pepper to the skillet. Stir well to combine all the vegetables.
- Season the Dish: Sprinkle the paprika, cumin, coriander, turmeric, salt, and pepper over the vegetables. Stir well to coat the vegetables with the spices.
- Add Tomatoes and Broth: Pour in the diced tomatoes with their juice and the vegetable broth. Stir everything together.
- Simmer: Bring the mixture to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet or pot, and let it cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
- Optional Soy Sauce: If you like, you can stir in a tablespoon of soy sauce for added umami flavor.
- Garnish and Serve: Once the cabbage is tender and the flavors have melded together, taste and adjust the seasoning if necessary. Garnish with fresh parsley or cilantro before serving.
