Cabbage is one of those vegetables I hardly cook but when I cook it, I love to stew it ! Pairing the stewed cabbage with some boiled green plantains takes the dish to another level.
The stewed cabbage requires pretty simple ingredients. Cabbage, tomatoes, onions, red pepper, garlic and celery. I also added a tbsp of crayfish to it if for extra flavour. You can use plum tin tomatoes but will recommend fresh tomatoes. I also chopped a few fresh tomatoes.
This recipe makes an excellent balanced meal if you add some fish or chicken to it.  You could make some grilled or fried chicken which i used in the cabbage stew to accompany it.
Enjoy!
Here are the ingredients
2 cans of plum tomatoes for blending or 6 fresh tomatoes
