Ingredients

• 1 head (about 900g) cabbage
• 4 medium (about 500g) tomatoes
• 1 medium (about 150g) onion
• 3 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon paprika
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and rinse it thoroughly under cold water. Chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces and set aside.

Step 2

Dice the tomatoes into small chunks. If you prefer a smoother texture, peel the tomatoes first by blanching them in boiling water for 30 seconds and then submerging them in ice water to easily remove the skin.

Step 3

Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or pot over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the chopped onions and sauté for 3–4 minutes until they are soft and translucent.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent burning.

Step 7

Add the cabbage to the skillet and stir well to coat it in the oil. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften.

Step 8

Add the diced tomatoes, salt, black pepper, paprika, and water to the skillet. Stir everything to combine.

Step 9

Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet, and let the mixture simmer for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the tomatoes have broken down into a flavorful sauce.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 11

Remove from heat and garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it as a light vegetarian main course with crusty bread or rice.
