Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 large onion
- 3 large garlic cloves
- 2 medium carrot
- 2 stalks celery stalks
- 1 can (14 oz) crushed tomatoes
- 2 cups chicken broth
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 leaf bay leaf
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 teaspoon fresh thyme
Instructions
Prepare the vegetables: slice the cabbage into thin strips, dice the onion, mince the garlic, and thinly slice the carrots and celery.
In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the diced onion and sauté for about 5 minutes until translucent.
Add the minced garlic to the pot and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Stir in the sliced carrots and celery, cooking them for an additional 5 minutes until they begin to soften.
Add the sliced cabbage to the pot, stirring well to mix with the other vegetables.
Pour in the crushed tomatoes and chicken broth, stirring to combine all ingredients.
Add the apple cider vinegar, bay leaf, salt, black pepper, and fresh thyme. Stir well.
Bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cover the pot and let it cook for about 30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the flavors have melded.
Taste and adjust seasoning as desired.
Remove the bay leaf before serving. This savory stewed cabbage is delicious on its own or as a side to your favorite Whole30 proteins.
