Prep Time 15 minutes

Cooking Time 30 minutes–1 hour

Ingredients

3 T oil
2 large onions, finely chopped
1 stick celery, finely chopped
2 cloves garlic, grated
1 green pepper, chopped
2 carrots, cut into discs
½ t cinnamon
½ t nutmeg
½ t paprika
½ t cayenne pepper
½ t black pepper
½ t oregano
6 potatoes, quartered
1 head cabbage, chopped
1 cup water
salt, to taste
rice, for serving
atchar, for serving
pickles, for serving

Method

1. Heat the oil in a large saucepan over a high heat. Fry the onions until golden brown. Add the celery, garlic, green pepper and carrot. Stir occasionally.

2. Add all the spices and brown over a low heat. Add the meat substitute or lentils and cook for 10 minutes or until cooked through.

3. Add the potatoes, cabbage and water. Cook until the potatoes are soft and cabbage is browned, stirring often. Add a little more water if necessary to avoid burning. Serve with rice and atchar or pickles of your choice.
