    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!

      Absolutely delicious! We made in the instant pot by sautéing onion first and then pretty much everything else under high pressure for 20 minutes. Added frozen peas and let sit for a couple minutes and ready to serve. Probably could shorten the cook time to 15 minutes to leave the potatoes a little firmer. Had over jasmine rice and just wonderful, filling, tasty and healthy!

      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.

      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 !
