Ingredients
  

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 celery rib, diced
  • 2 carrots, sliced
  • 1 tsp sweet Hungarian paprika
  • 2 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and diced
  • 1-15 oz can diced tomatoes
  • 5 cups vegetable broth
  • 1/2 head green cabbage, roughly chopped
  • 1 tsp sea salt
  • 1/2 tsp pepper
  • 1-15 oz can beans, great northern, cannellini or navy
  • parsley, chopped for garnishing

Equipment

  • cast iron Dutch oven or large sauce pot

Method
 

  1. Heat olive oil over medium heat, in a large sauce pot or Dutch oven, add onion, and sauté for about 3 minutes, then add garlic and sauté for another minute, long enough for the aroma to release. Add celery and carrots, cook for 2 more minutes and stir in paprika.
  2. Then add potatoes, diced tomatoes, vegetable broth, cabbage, salt and pepper. Bring to a low boil, then reduce the heat to a simmer for 30 minutes, then add the beans and continue cooking the stew for another 15 minutes and until the cabbage, carrots and potatoes are cooked and tender. The longer it simmers, the more flavourful it will become.   
  3. Serve the stew while it is hot and garnish with parsley. If you desired, add a dollop of sour cream or Greek yogurt.
