Stewed Cabbage and Tomatoes

Step 1

Remove the tough outer leaves of the cabbage. Cut it in half, remove the core, and then finely shred the cabbage.

Step 2

In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the diced red bell pepper and sauté for about 2-3 minutes until it starts to soften.

Step 3

Add the shredded cabbage to the pot. Stir well to combine it with the sautéed pepper.

Step 4

Mix in the tomato paste, which will add depth and flavor to the dish. Stir until the cabbage is well coated with the tomato paste.

Step 5

Season the cabbage with salt, black pepper, and add the bay leaves.

Step 6

Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and allow the cabbage to simmer for about 15-20 minutes, or until it softens and wilts.

Step 7

Remember to stir occasionally to prevent it from sticking to the pot.

Step 8

Once the cabbage is tender, remove it from the heat.

Step 9

Discard the bay leaves and sprinkle the freshly chopped dill over the stewed cabbage and tomatoes.

Step 10

Enjoy!
