Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 medium, diced onion
- 3 cloves, minced garlic
- 14.5 ounces canned diced tomatoes
- 2 tablespoons tomato paste
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon paprika
- 1 teaspoon (adjust to taste) salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon sugar
- 2 tablespoons, chopped (optional, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it into quarters. Remove the core, then shred the cabbage into thin strips.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or saucepan over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet, stir well to combine with the onions and garlic, and cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften.
Pour in the canned diced tomatoes, tomato paste, and vegetable broth. Stir to combine all the ingredients evenly.
Season with paprika, salt, black pepper, and sugar. Mix well.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then cover the pan and reduce the heat to low.
Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve hot, optionally garnished with freshly chopped parsley.
