Method

Cooking Instructions

  1. 1

    Sauté the Aromatics

    In a large pot, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the sliced onion and minced garlic, and sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.

  2. 2

    Add Cabbage

    Stir in the chopped cabbage, salt, black pepper, and crushed red pepper flakes. Cook for about 5 minutes until the cabbage begins to wilt.

  3. 3

    Add Broth and Seasonings

    Pour in the vegetable broth, add paprika and apple cider vinegar. Stir well to combine.

  4. 4

    Simmer

    Cover the pot and reduce the heat to low. Allow the cabbage to simmer for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender.

  5. 5

    Serve

    Once the cabbage is tender and smothered in seasonings, remove from heat and serve warm.
