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
- – Kosher 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) low sodium 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
- Warm the olive oil in a large pot or Dutch oven until it shimmers, then add the chopped onion and minced garlic. Stir frequently until the mixture becomes aromatic, making sure the garlic doesn’t burn by adjusting the heat as needed.
- Introduce the cabbage, celery, and carrots to the pot, along with a generous pinch of kosher salt and black pepper. Stir occasionally until the vegetables have softened slightly, which should take about 5 to 7 minutes. Partially covering the pot will help the cabbage wilt more easily.
- Sprinkle the turmeric, cumin, coriander, and Aleppo pepper over the vegetables, tossing them to ensure even coating with the spices.
- Pour in the diced tomatoes, including their juices, and the vegetable broth. Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a boil for about 5 minutes. Then, reduce the heat to medium-low, cover the pot partially, and let it simmer for 20 to 25 minutes until the vegetables become tender.
- Once the heat is off, mix in the chopped parsley, sliced green onions, grated ginger, lemon zest, and lemon juice. Serve and enjoy!
Notes
- Increase the Aleppo pepper or red pepper flakes for a spicier flavor.
- Season with salt and pepper as needed for a well-balanced taste.
- Squeeze fresh lemon juice before serving for a burst of citrus freshness.
