• 1 teaspoon ground cumin
• 1 teaspoon dried thyme
• 1 bay leaf
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt

Directions

Step 1

Heat the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat.

Step 2

Add the chopped onion, carrots, and celery. Sauté for 5-7 minutes until softened.

Step 6

Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce the heat to low. Cover the pot and let the stew simmer for 30-35 minutes, or until the cabbage and potatoes are tender.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasonings as needed, adding more salt or pepper if desired.

Step 8

Remove the bay leaf before serving. Ladle the stew into bowls and garnish with fresh parsley, if using.
