Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 4 medium russet potatoes
- 1 large onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons paprika
- 3 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1 cup water or vegetable broth
- 1.5 teaspoons salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Peel and dice the potatoes into bite-sized pieces. Set them aside in a bowl of cold water to prevent browning.
Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and slice into thin shreds. Rinse and drain well.
Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic.
Heat the vegetable oil in a large pot or deep skillet over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes, until softened and translucent.
Stir in the garlic and paprika, cooking for an additional 1 minute. Be careful not to burn the paprika, as it can become bitter.
Drain the potatoes and add them to the pot. Stir to coat them in the paprika mixture.
Add the shredded cabbage, salt, and black pepper. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Pour in the water or vegetable broth. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Cook for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the potatoes are cooked through.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Optionally, garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a hearty side dish or a comforting main course.
