Equipment

  • Large cooking pot

Ingredients

  • 1 medium-sized head of cabbage thinly shredded
  • 1 medium carrot grated
  • 2 medium onions chopped
  • 1 tbsp tomato paste
  • 1 can pinto beans drained
  • 3 bay leaves
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1 tsp thyme
  • ground pepper
  • 1 tbsp olive oil optional

Instructions

  • Heat olive oil in a large pot and sautée grated carrot and chopped onion for a couple of minutes (for oil-free, add a splash of water initially and keep on adding extra water as needed to deglaze the bottom of the pot).
  • Place shredded cabbage, cooked pinto beans and the rest of ingredients into the same pot and cook until cabbage is soft to your liking (around 1h30mins).*
  • Serve still warm. Top with pumpkin seeds (optionally), vegan mayo or mayo and dill sauce.

Notes

* Alternatively, massage the cabbage with salt and leave to release liquid for a couple of hours prior to cooking – this will help shorten the time to cook cabbage.
