  • 1 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 medium onion, diced
  • 1 long red chilli, seeds out and diced
  • 1 stick of celery, diced
  • 1 large clove of garlic, finely diced
  • 1/2 head of medium white cabbage, quartered and shredded (core out)
  • 1 teaspoon salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon coriander seed powder
  • 1/2 cup diced tomatoes
  • Handful of fresh coriander/cilantro or parsley, chopped

INSTRUCTIONS

  1. Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large pot or a deep frying pan that has a lid. Add the onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring half way. Then add the chilli, celeryand sauté for 3-4 minutes, until slightly softened and caramelised.
  2. Now add the zucchini, garlic and cabbage and season with salt and coriander seed powder. Stir through, cover with the lid and cook for 2-3 minutes. The cabbage will release a bit of juice and reduce in size.
  3. Finally, add the diced tomatoes, cooked potatoes and about 1/3 cup of water. Stir through and cover with a lid. Bring the heat down to medium-low and cook for 15 minutes, stirring a couple of times. Finish by topping off with fresh herbs.
