Add Cabbage and Seasonings
- Add the chopped cabbage to the pan with the onion and garlic. Cook for a few minutes until the cabbage begins to soften.
- Add the bay leaf and sprig of rosemary (optional) to the pan for extra flavor.
4 Add Potatoes and Tomatoes
- Add the cut potatoes to the pan and fry for 2-3 minutes.
- Grate the tomatoes and add them to the pan (or add canned tomato juice/broth).
- Add tomato paste and stir everything together.
5 Cook the Stew
- Add enough water to cover all the ingredients.
- Season with salt to taste and bring the mixture to a boil.
- Cover the pan with a lid and let it cook for about 30-40 minutes, or until the potatoes are soft and the flavors have blended together.
6 Serve
- Once the stew is ready, serve it hot.
- It's best enjoyed with a side of pickles for an added burst of flavor!
