Just five ingredients and one pan stand between you and the most flavorful cabbage situation ever. Tender, garlicky, tomato-kissed, and so good with everything.
First, wash the cabbage and chop it into bite-sized pieces. Go ahead and chop the onion and tomatoes too, so everything is ready to go.
Next, heat the oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until softened and slightly golden.
Then, add the cabbage to the pan and give it a good stir. Let it cook for 3 to 4 minutes, just until it starts to soften but still has a bit of bite.
Finally, stir in the chopped tomatoes, salt, and pepper. Cook for another few minutes, stirring occasionally, until the tomatoes break down and everything is coated in that light, flavorful sauce.
Serve warm with ugali, meat, or fish, or enjoy it just as it is.
Notes
Make sure not to overcook the cabbage. It should remain a bit crunchy.
