Nutritional values

White cabbage is rich in dietary fiber, which not only satisfies for a long time, but also gets the digestion going and boosts the metabolism.

Feel free to vary this stew as you like! Red cabbage instead of white cabbage brings color and a slight sweetness into play and the dish also tastes wonderful with kidney beans or chickpeas.

Comments

 
In the list of ingredients it has pinch of ground caraway; however in the directions, it calls for cumin. They have very different flavor profiles. Which is it?

Our apologies for any confusion. The correct ingredient is caraway.
