Servings 6
Prep Time 15 minutes
Cook Time 45 minutes
Total Time 1 hour

Ingredients

  • ½ Medium Green Cabbage
  • 1 Medium Carrot
  • ½ Green Bell Pepper
  • ½ Large Tomato
  • 1 Green Onion Stalk
  • 1 Small Yellow Onion
  • 4 Thyme Stems
  • 2 Heaping Tablespoons Margarine
  • Salt to Taste

Instructions

  • Start by washing all your vegetables with vinegar and water.
  • Using a knife, shred your cabbage and remove the core.
  • Peel the carrot and then thinly slice them or shred them.
  • Remove the outer layer of the onion, cut off both ends, then slice thinly.
  • Thinly slice the remaining vegetables, excluding the thyme, and add to your pot.
  • Lastly, add in your thyme stems, salt and margarine.
  • Simmer on medium low to low heat for 45-50 minutes. You can cook for less time if you prefer crunchier cabbage.
  • Taste and adjust the salt as you cook.

Notes

You can also prepare this in less time by cooking on a higher heat, but you will have to monitor the cabbage more closely so it doesn't burn. I prefer my cabbage soft, so adjust the cooking time depending on your desired texture.
