Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Heat 2 tbsp olive oil in a large pot over medium heat. Add 1 sliced onion and cook until soft and golden, about 8 minutes.

  2. Step 2

    Stir in 4 cups chopped cabbage and 1 tsp ground cumin. Cook for 5 minutes, until cabbage begins to wilt.

  3. Step 3

    Add 28 oz canned diced tomatoes and 1 tsp salt. Bring to a simmer, then reduce heat to low.

  4. Step 4

    Cover and simmer for 25–30 minutes, until cabbage is tender and flavors meld, stirring occasionally.

  5. Step 5

    Remove from heat. Stir in 0.5 cup plain yogurt until creamy, then top with 0.25 cup chopped parsley.

  6. Step 6

    Serve hot, with extra yogurt if desired.
