Description
A comforting dish featuring tender cabbage and creamy Yukon Gold potatoes with a hint of spice.
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium green cabbage (about 2 lbs), cored and sliced
- 1 lb Yukon Gold or waxy potatoes, peeled and cut into 3/4 inch chunks
- 1 medium yellow onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 to 2 fresh red chilies, deseeded and finely sliced, or 1 teaspoon chili flakes
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
- 1 bay leaf
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 2/3 cups vegetable broth
- Chopped fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
- Lemon wedges (optional, for serving)
Instructions
- Melt the fats: In a large, heavy-bottomed pot, heat the butter and olive oil over medium heat until the butter has melted and both fats are well combined.
- Sauté onions: Add the chopped onion, stirring occasionally for 3 to 4 minutes until soft and translucent.
- Add garlic and chili: Stir in minced garlic and fresh chili slices, cooking for about 1 minute.
- Toss in potatoes: Add potato chunks to the pot, stirring to coat them lightly and cook for 3 minutes.
- Introduce cabbage: Gently fold in the sliced cabbage along with smoked paprika if using, tossing everything together with the bay leaf.
- Pour in broth: Carefully pour the vegetable broth into the pot and stir well, bringing the mixture to a gentle simmer.
- Cover and cook: Lower the heat, cover the pot, and let it cook for 25 to 30 minutes, stirring occasionally.
- Taste and serve: Once tender, remove the bay leaf, taste and adjust seasoning, then transfer to serving bowls.
