👨🍳 Instrucciones
- 1
Prepare all your vegetables: thinly slice the cabbage, peel and cube the potatoes into 1-inch pieces, peel and slice the carrots, finely chop the onion, and mince the garlic. Having everything ready (mise en place) will make the cooking process smoother.
⏱️ 15 minutes - 2
Heat the oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat (approximately 180°C / 350°F). Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and translucent, about 5-7 minutes. Stir in the minced garlic and turmeric, and cook for another minute until fragrant, being careful not to burn the garlic.
⏱️ 8 minutes - 3
Add the cubed potatoes and sliced carrots to the pot. Stir well to coat them with the onion, garlic, and turmeric mixture. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, to lightly sear the vegetables.
⏱️ 5 minutes - 4
Add the thinly sliced cabbage to the pot. Pour in the 1/2 cup of water or vegetable broth. Stir everything together. The liquid will help steam the vegetables.
⏱️ 2 minutes - 5
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot tightly, and let the stew cook. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking. Cook for 20-25 minutes, or until the potatoes and carrots are fork-tender but not mushy, and the cabbage has softened.
⏱️ 20-25 minutes - 6
Once the vegetables are tender, remove the lid. Season generously with salt to taste. If desired, add a pinch of black pepper. Stir well and let it simmer uncovered for another 2-3 minutes to allow any excess liquid to evaporate and the flavors to meld.
