If you’re looking for new cabbage recipes, this recipe is a great alternative to slaw or stuffed cabbage. When cabbage is cooked down, as it is here, it becomes a very tender, almost buttery, sweet vegetable. Called Ye’tikil gomen be’timatim in Ethiopian, this recipe for Ethiopian Stewed Cabbage in Golden Tomato Sauce is perfect to serve with inejra or Quick Teff Crêpes.
