1 medium cabbage head, stem removed, cut into 2" squares
How to cut cabbage
1 medium carrot peeled, sliced into dials
1 medium onion sliced
1 stalk celery chopped into large chunks, optional
3 tbsp minced garlic
2 tbsp olive oil
1/2-1 cup broth add more if desired for more broth
1 pinch salt and pepper to taste
1/2 pound stew meat precooked to already tender, or use leftover meat chopped into bite size pieces.
1 can diced tomatoes *optional if you want to add tomatoes and have more juice to make it more like a soup*

Heat the olive oil in a dutch oven. Add chopped garlic, onion and carrots. Fry for 3-4 minutes on low heat to soften, stirring occasionally. Add chopped cabbage, fry everything together for another 2 more minutes.
Add precooked stew meat (or any leftover protein) if you're adding meat, salt, pepper and pour the broth in. (if you want to add a can of diced tomatoes for a richer flavor add that now)
Stir and cook covered over low heat for 15 - 20 minutes or until contents are as tender as you'd like them to be. Serve stewed cabbage with fresh herbs.
