Preparation

  1. For the Andalusian Cabbage Stew

    1. Step 1

      Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, lidded skillet or Dutch oven. Add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about five minutes. Add the garlic and bell pepper. Cook, stirring, until the pepper has softened slightly and the pan is fragrant, about three minutes. Add the cabbage. Cook, stirring, until the cabbage has softened slightly and lost some of its volume, about five minutes. Add the chili pepper, sugar, tomatoes, salt and paprika. Raise the heat slightly, and cook, stirring often, until the tomatoes have cooked down slightly and the mixture smells fragrant, about 10 minutes. Turn the heat to low, cover and simmer 30 minutes, stirring often.

    2. Step 2

      Add the vinegar and pepper, and taste and adjust salt. Simmer another 10 minutes. Serve with thick slices of country bread or with rice. This will taste even better if you refrigerate it overnight and serve it the next day.

Tip
  • Advance preparation: You can make this several hours before serving and reheat; it keeps for four to five days in the refrigerator.

I used Spanish smoked paprika, and I strongly recommend that substitution.

This is one of my all time favorite comfort dishes. I sometimes add a small amount of whatever meat I might have. Garbanzo beans are also a good addition. Thank you, Ms. Shulman, for many happy meals you have given me.

I made this the other night to eat tonight with basmatti rice and it was delicious! I didn't have red peppers or sherry vinegar, so I used some red-wine vinegar (all i had) and added a tsp of vegetable better-than-bouillon.

Would someone please quantify “stir often?” Thanks!

Wonderful dish! Great as is. My second effort included smoked turkey sausage, which I sliced, then marinated overnight in beef bouillon and red wine vinegar before adding in the last step. Also terrific.

It is too blend va . Added two chopped three chopped anchovies, 3 tablespoons of pitted green olives, chopped walnuts for sone crunchiness and changed to smoke paprika for more flavor.
