I don’t think that I particularly liked this dish growing up, but I do enjoy it now. I have used both Savoy cabbage and Kale, but plain white cabbage would work as well. The dish is not ‘cabbage-y’ as you might think, instead it’s a nice change and goes great with Au Naturele Pork Chops!

  • 1 tbsp olive oil

Roux

  • Add one tablespoon of oil to a small skillet, and heat over medium high heat and add finely chopped onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onions become soft but do not color, about 5 minutes.

Add a teaspoon of paprika and stir again to combine. Add 2 ladles full of cooking liquid and stir to combine, then add the roux to the potato cabbage mixture and stir to combine.
  • Cook for another 5-7 minutes until the liquid has slightly thickened.
