Tips

  • This recipe makes a big batch. Serve this on the side when feeding a large group. Refrigerate extras for later.

  • For variety, add apples or chickpeas.

  • Cabbage is very versatile and can be added to other dishes! Add any leftover cabbage to soups, stews and stir-fries for extra flavour and texture.

To my surprise, this is quite delicious. But 10 servings is probably too much. I just use half of the ingredients.
