Ingredients
- – 2 tablespoons (30 ml) extra virgin olive oil
- – 1 medium yellow onion, chopped
- – 3 garlic cloves, minced
- – 1 medium head of green cabbage, cored and chopped
- – 2 celery sticks, chopped
- – 2 carrots, sliced into thin rounds
- – Salt
- – Black pepper
- – 1/2 teaspoon (3 ml) ground turmeric
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground cumin
- – 1 teaspoon (5 ml) ground coriander
- – 1/2 to 1 teaspoon (8 ml) Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes
- – 1 (28-ounce) can diced tomatoes
- – 3 cups (720 ml) vegetable broth
- – 1 cup (240 ml) chopped parsley leaves (from about 1 bunch parsley)
- – 3 green onions, trimmed and sliced
- – 1-inch piece fresh ginger, peeled and finely grated
- – 1 large lemon, zested and juiced
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil in a large pot until it starts to shimmer, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Stir frequently, adjusting the heat to prevent the garlic from burning, until the aroma is released.
- Introduce the cabbage, celery, and carrots into the pot with a generous sprinkle of salt and black pepper. Stir occasionally, allowing the vegetables to slightly soften, approximately 5 to 7 minutes. Partially cover the pot to help the cabbage wilt.
- Incorporate the turmeric, cumin, coriander, and Aleppo pepper, stirring to evenly distribute the spices over the vegetables.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes along with their juices and the vegetable broth. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil for about 5 minutes. Then, lower to medium-low heat, partially covering the pot with a slight gap at the top, and let it simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until the vegetables are tender.
- Turn off the heat and mix in the chopped parsley, green onions, grated ginger, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Roasting the cabbage, celery, and carrots in the oven before adding them to the pot will enhance the depth of flavor.
- Adjust the amount of Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes to suit your spice preference.
- Using freshly squeezed lemon juice will provide a more vibrant flavor compared to bottled juice.
