  • 1 large garlic clove sliced
  • 1 small stick of celery finely chopped
  • 1 /2 small leek (mainly the white part) finely sliced

Instructions

  • Add a generous splash of olive oil in a medium-sized cooking pot and heat over high heat.
  • Add the onion and garlic and cook until softened. Add the cabbage and reduce heat slightly to medium-high. Add also the carrot, leek, celery, and bell pepper. Season with kosher salt and a bit of pepper. Stir occasionally until the cabbage and the other vegetables soften.
  • Stir in the diced tomatoes, and add the bay leaf and 4 tablespoons of olive oil. Pour in enough water to cover and simmer, partly covered for about 45 minutes.
