Prep Time: 10 minutes
Cook Time: 30 minutes
Feeds: 4 side portions
Ingredients:
1/2 medium head of cabbage sliced
1/2 cup of vegetable broth
3 medium tomatoes, diced
1 small red onion, diced
ketchup (you can use sugar-free)
1/4 cup of freshly squeezed lemon juice
2-4 tablespoons of sweetener of your choice ( sugar, date sugar, coconut sugar, maple syrup)
1/4 teaspoon of curry powder
Two ways : This recipe can be made in the oven or on the stove top
Directions: Oven method
Preheat oven to 350 degrees if using oven method
Layer ingredients in a tall rimmed pyrex container. Begin with vegetable broth on the bottom. Add 1/2 of the cabbage, tomatoes, and onion. Squirt with lines of ketchup. Layer again with remainder of cabbage, tomatoes, and onion. Squirt with a few long squirts of ketchup. Sprinkle the top with sugar, date sugar, or coconut sugar. add lemon juice and curry powder.
Cover and bake in oven on 350 for half hour or until cabbage is off, checking occasionally to see if it needs liquid. If so add a 1/4 cup of vegetable broth.
Stove Top Method:
Add vegetable broth to the bottom of the skillet. Add the cabbage, tomatoes, and onion. Squirt lines of ketchup across the mixture and mix.. Cook covered for about 10 -12 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning (add 1/4 cup of vegetable broth only if needed to prevent burning)
Sprinkle the top with sugar, date sugar, or coconut sugar. add lemon juice and curry powder. Mix well and cook 1 additional minute.
My Notes:
1. All recipes on this blog are gluten-free. Since 2021, they are also vegan and oil-free.
2. I often eat this recipe made with white cabbage only because it is softer. I prefer the stove top method.
