Serve this delicious and comforting meatless cabbage dish without mentioning that it's vegetarian and nobody will miss the meat, I promise 😉 It's so tasty you'll even be asked for the recipe by meat lovers, like me.
Served it with white plain rice on the side.
Buen provecho!

Thank you for all the recipes. I used three of them for dinner last night to celebrate my Columbian sponsored daughter's (with Compassion International) birthday. My family loved them all! We had the Cabbage with sweet potato and coconut milk, Avocado-Corn Salad with lime vinaigrette (my favorite) and Pineapple-coconut crisp with vanilla ice cream. Delicious, and fun to do a Columbian night! Thanks!

This sounds exceptional, Erica, and the color is so vibrant that it's really eye catching.

Shredded sweetened coconut or unsweetened..big difference to not be noted?

Erica,
I volunteered to make dinner for some Columbian and American friends. I saw your recipes and they looked so good that I thought I'd try them out. I made the Chicken wings with ilantro Sauce, Shredded Beef, Cole Slaw, Cabbage and Potatoes, and the Torta de Arequipe. Needles to say, I spent the afternoon cooking, but everyone loved it. My favorites were the Torta, Cabbage and Potatoes and the Cole Slaw! Thanks for the great recipes.

This was a great recipe. Nice to shake things up with these ingredients . The lime added a nice subtle twist to compliment the flavor of coconut . I may be inclined to added a slightly more red pepper but if course that’s a personal taste. Thank you !
Armond
This recipe is excellent and will be repeated for years to come. I too added more red pepper. Thanks

This recipe is pretty easy to prepare and very delicious. I added lentils (partially cooked before adding along with the potatoes).
Thank you for this recipe! I will definitely make this again.
