Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 4 large ripe tomatoes
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 cup vegetable broth
- 1 teaspoon dried oregano
- 0.5 teaspoon dried thyme
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped (for garnish)
Instructions
Remove any wilted outer leaves from the cabbage and rinse it thoroughly under cold water. Slice the cabbage in half, remove the core, and cut into 1-inch-wide strips.
Dice the tomatoes into small chunks. Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic.
Heat the olive oil in a large, deep skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the chopped onion and sauté for 4–5 minutes, or until softened and translucent.
Stir in the garlic and cook for an additional 30 seconds until fragrant.
Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet and sauté for 4–5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften.
Add the diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, dried oregano, dried thyme, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine.
Bring the mixture to a slight boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover and simmer for 20–25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the flavors are well combined.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or black pepper if needed.
Serve warm, garnished with freshly chopped parsley. Pair with crusty bread or steamed rice for a complete meal.
