Ingredients

  • 750 green cabbage or white cabbage
  • 1 carrot large
  • 1 onion
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 1 tablespoon coconut oil
  • 1 tomato large
  • ½ teaspoon ground coriander
  • ½ teaspoon cumin ground
  • ¾ dried chili flakes more or less to taste
  • 1 teaspoon Turmeric
  • 1 tablespoon ginger grated
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper ground
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 ½ teaspoon honey divided
  • 125 water
  • 1 teaspoon salt fine sea salt
  • ½ - 1 tablespoon cider vinegar to taste

Instructions

    Cup of Yum
  1. Core the cabbage and slice it thinly. Slice the carrot rather finely as well. Chop the onion and the garlic finely.
  2. Heat the coconut oil in a large heavy-bottomed pan or Dutch oven. Add the chopped onion and garlic and cook shortly until translucent. Add the cabbage and the carrot and cook, stirring often, for about 5 minutes until it begins to soften.
  3. In the meantime chop the tomato into fine cubes. Add the tomato, coriander, cumin, chili flakes, turmeric, ginger, pepper tomato paste, and 1 teaspoon of honey to the pot. Stir well to coat the cabbage with the spices and let cook, stirring, for 3 or 4 minutes.
  4. Add water and salt, cover the pan, turn down the heat and simmer the stew for about 30-35 minutes or until the cabbage is cooked to your liking, I prefer it rather soft but not mushy.
  5. Add half of the cider vinegar, stir well again, and taste. If necessary add the remaining vinegar, honey, some black pepper, and a bit more salt.
  6. Serve immediately or reheat again later.

Notes

  • Alternatively, use 1 tablespoon turmeric paste for golden milk.
