Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large, chopped onion
- 4 cloves, minced garlic
- 1 large, chopped red bell pepper
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
Instructions
Remove any outer leaves from the cabbage and cut it into quarters. Remove the core from each quarter and slice the cabbage into thin strips.
In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the olive oil over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until it turns translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and chopped red bell pepper, and cook for another 2-3 minutes until the garlic is fragrant.
Add the sliced cabbage to the pot and toss it with the onion, garlic, and bell pepper until well combined.
Pour in the chicken broth and add the smoked paprika, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes.
Bring the mixture to a simmer over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the cabbage stew gently for about 25 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check the seasoning and adjust with more salt or pepper as needed.
Once the cabbage is tender and infused with the savory flavors, remove from heat and let it sit for a few minutes before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or as a light, low-carb meal.
