EQUIPMENT
slow cooker
Ingredients
4cupsorganic broth, vegetable, chicken/beef, or bone broth
1headred cabbage, chopped, cored, and chopped into 1″ squares
3tbsp.fresh garlic, to taste. I use approx. 3-4 minced cloves of fresh garlic or 3 tbsp of garlic powder
Salt, pepper, and spices , to taste - I recommend onion powder, bouillon cubes, and/or bay leaves
Instructions
Wash and prep your cabbage.
Chop your head on cabbage into 1″ squares. Remove and discard the stalky heart. Then place into a crockpot or large stock pot.
Pour your broth into your pot. You want approx. 80% of the cabbage submerged in the liquid base.
Add your spices. (Season suggestions are listed below)
Stir, cover, and slow cook over high heat for 30 minutes.
After 30 mins. the cabbage should be wilted enough to submerge all of cabbage under the broth. Stir, then reduce to low heat.
Check and stir every 30 minutes for up to 2 hours until it’s done.
The cabbage is done when it’s soft and wilted – not stalking or mushy.
Remove from the liquid. Drain, Shake/blot off excess liquid before serving.
Top with some hummus, an aioli, or hot sauce and enjoy!
Enjoy immediately.
NOTES
Serve as a side dish or snack. I love this with some tahini or hummus and hot sauce. I have it as a snack all the time!
