Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Green cabbage
- 4 medium Potatoes
- 1 large Onion
- 2 pieces Garlic cloves
- 2 cups Vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Caraway seeds
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Peel the potatoes and cut them into 1-inch cubes. Rinse and set aside.
Core and chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces. Set aside.
Dice the onion and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat and add the butter. Once melted, add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until softened and translucent.
Add the minced garlic and caraway seeds to the pot, stirring for 1 minute to release the aroma.
Add the chopped cabbage and potatoes to the pot. Stir to coat them in the oil, butter, and seasonings.
Pour the vegetable broth into the pot and bring it to a boil. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer for 25-30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check the potatoes for doneness by piercing them with a fork—they should be tender but not falling apart.
Season the dish with salt and black pepper to taste. Adjust seasonings as needed.
Serve warm, garnished with fresh parsley if desired. This dish can be enjoyed as a side or a light main course.
