Ingredients
- 1 Medium Savory White Cabbage
- 1 tbsp. Olive Oil
- 1 Red Bell Pepper
- 2 tbsp. Tomato Paste
- 1 tsp. Salt
- ¼ tsp. Black Pepper
- 2 Bay Leaves
- 1 tbsp. Freshly-chopped Dill
Preparation
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!
