boiled cabbage recipe With Smoked Paprika Blush

- Yield: 4–6 servings 1x
- Diet: Vegetarian (can be Vegan, Low-Carb, Heart-Conscious)
Description
This boiled cabbage recipe with smoked paprika blush is a simple, soul-satisfying dish that offers comfort and vibrant flavor in a flash. It’s a fantastic solution for busy families seeking healthy, easy dinner ideas without compromising on taste.
Ingredients
- 1 head fresh green cabbage (about 2–3 lbs)
- 1–2 tsp smoked paprika
- 1 medium yellow or white onion (about 150g)
- 2–3 cloves garlic (about 10-15g)
- 4–6 cups vegetable or chicken broth
- 1–2 tbsp olive oil or butter
- Salt to taste
- Black pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prepare Cabbage And Aromatics: Carefully core the green cabbage, then roughly chop it into 1-inch (2.5 cm) pieces. Mince the onion and garlic finely.
- Sauté Aromatics With Paprika: In a large pot or Dutch oven, heat the 1-2 tbsp olive oil or butter over medium heat until shimmering. Add the minced onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent. Stir in the minced garlic and 1-2 tsp smoked paprika; cook for just 1 minute more until deeply fragrant. (If it looks dry or starts to stick, splash in 1-2 tablespoons of broth.)
- Simmer Cabbage Until Tender: Add the chopped cabbage and the 4-6 cups vegetable or chicken broth to the pot. Bring the liquid to a rolling boil over high heat, then reduce the heat to a gentle simmer. Cover the pot and cook for 15-20 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and fork-tender. Season generously with salt and black pepper to taste.
- Serve The Dish Hot: Ladle the steaming boiled cabbage into bowls and enjoy immediately.
Notes
Elevate your dish with organic cabbage or plant-based butter. Ensure gluten-free or low-sodium broth if needed. This recipe is naturally low-carb. For vegan preparation, use vegetable broth and olive oil or plant-based butter. Heart-conscious diets should opt for low-sodium broth and minimal added fats. This recipe can be adapted for a pressure cooker (sauté aromatics, then cook cabbage on High Pressure for 3-5 minutes, followed by a quick release). If the color is too pale, add a pinch more smoked paprika during simmering. If too dry, splash in more broth. If bland, awaken flavors with a squeeze of fresh lemon juice or a dash of hot sauce.
