Ingredients
  

  • 1 medium cabbage
  • 1 large can of Cannellini beans I used a 800g can
  • 1 large onion julienned
  • 5 garlic cloves mashed
  • 1 Tbsp sweet paprika
  • 3 tsps smoked paprika
  • 2 tsps dry thyme
  • ½ tsp ground coriander
  • 5 Tbsps tomato paste
  • 4 Tbsps oil
  • 3 bay leaves
  • salt and pepper to taste
  • ½ cup water plus more if needed
  • 250 g firm tofu smoked

Instructions
 

  • Chop cabbage.
  • Heat oil in a large saucepan.
  • Add onion and garlic and saute for 2-3 minutes.
  • Add cabbage and water and cover with a lid.
  • Let it soften for about 10 minutes.
  • When cabbage has softened a bit, add all spices (no tomato paste yet).
  • Cover with a lid and cook for 30 minutes.
  • Add beans (with the water from the can too) and tomato paste. Stir.
  • Cook for 15 more minutes, or until everything is tender.
  • If needed, add more water in the saucepan so it won't stick to the bottom and burn. Check every 15 minutes to see if it needs more liquid added.
  • In a separate pan, heat some oil.
  • Slice smoked tofu and lightly fry it on both sides.
  • Serve with cabbage stew.
