Savory African Cabbage Stew
Ingredients
  • 1 large head cabbage, diced
  • 1/4 cup canola oil
  • 1 onion, diced
  • 2 teaspoons minced garlic
  • 4 roma (plum) tomatoes, diced
  • 1 cup water
  • 1 (6 ounce) can tomato paste
  • 1 (15 ounce) can mackerel in tomato sauce
  • 1 pinch red pepper flakes, or to taste
  • 1 pinch seasoned salt, or to taste
Instructions
1
First, submerge the cabbage into a large container and cover it with salted water; bring the mixture to a rolling boil.
2
Then, decrease the heat to a low-medium setting and let it simmer until the cabbage is just tender, approximately 10 minutes.
3
Next, heat canola oil in a medium-sized saucepan over a moderate heat. Cook and stir the onion and garlic in hot oil until the onion becomes translucent, taking around 5 to 7 minutes.
4
After that, add the tomatoes into the onion mixture and place a lid on the saucepan. Continue to cook until the tomatoes are soft, which may take around 10 to 15 minutes.
5
Subsequently, combine water and tomato paste in a small bowl until the mixture is smooth; pour it into the saucepan.
6
Mix the water and tomato paste mixture, cover the saucepan again, and cook for another 5 minutes.
7
Add the mackerel to the tomato sauce mixture; season with red pepper flakes and seasoned salt.
8
Finally, stir in the drained cabbage into the mixture; cover the saucepan and let it simmer until the mackerel is hot, approximately 10 to 15 minutes.
