-1/2 head of cabbage
-2 medium carrots
-1 vegetable bouillon cube
-1 cup water
-1 tsp garlic, finely chopped
-1 whole, medium sized onion, diced
-olive oil-some Adobo of course!
-some Goya Sazon-it! if you have it, (If you don't have the Adobo or Sazon-it!, then you can use Seasoning Saltor Allspice)
-Salt and/or pepper, depending on what you like to add for flavoring

Here is how you make Monika's Special Cabbage:

1.)Peel and slice carrots thin and at an angle.2.)Cut the half cabbage head in half again. Cut out the core. Slice thin,about 1/3 in to 1/2 an inch.3.)In a large pot, add the oil. When the oil is heated, heat the garlic and the onion.4.) Once the onion and garlic are hot (don't burn them!) raise the heat a bit, and add the 1 cup of water and the boullion. Wait until the boullion is completely dissolved before going on to the next step.5.) Make sure that there is enough water (just enough, not too much) tocover the bottom of the pot. If the water boils too much add just a little bit more water.6.)Now add the sliced cabbage and the carrots. Sprinkle in some of the salt and a bit of your seasonings.7.)Turn heat to low. Cover pot, and let simmer for 2 minutes.8.)Uncover and stir well. Re-cover. Repeat every 2-3 minutes until cabbage is tender but has a crunch to it. You want to steam the cabbage, not boil it until it's mushy. This should take about 10 minutes or so. Watch the liquid at the bottom. If all is absorbed add another 3 or 4 Tbsp.9)Once the cabbage is to the desired texture, add a dash seasoning, and mix well. Serve with dad's rice, and I am telling you, it will be a delicious, savory meal!!!! SOOOO GOOD!!!!!Number of Servings: 4Recipe submitted by SparkPeople user KALLIPYGOS.
