Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Chop the Vegetables

    Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it into quarters. Remove the core and slice the cabbage into thin strips. Dice the bell peppers and onion into small pieces.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large skillet or pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant.

  2. 3

    Add Onions and Peppers

    Add the diced onion and bell peppers to the skillet. Sauté for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they start to soften.

  3. 4

    Cook the Cabbage

    Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the onions and peppers. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using.

  4. 5

    Add Broth and Simmer

    Pour in the vegetable broth, cover the skillet, and reduce the heat to low. Let it simmer for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and has absorbed the flavors.
