The best way to fill up! 

Looks good!!! 

That's the stuff. I buy 1 green and 1 red cabbage every week and always have stewed okra and tomatoes in the fridge. I'm big on low calorie density to get more food volume! 

Looks delicious! 

I am getting so many nice ideas from here. This looks absolutely delicious, will buy cabbage next week 

Gastropd, Yes! Food density/ nutritionally dense foods are the deal.! Cabbage is loaded with nutrients. I think we have all eaten a full meal and still felt a little hungry. That feels worst when you have spent all of your calories dollars for the day! 😂 food like this leave us satiated with “calorie money” left if we want it.  

I love this but don't know how to make can you explain the process. how long do you boil for? 

or steam 

Great idea!!!👏👏👏👍 

Beautiful capture 

@Tr3vi28- sure! I like to prep my veggies first and set aside, and gather all other ingredients. You’ll want a small head of organic green cabbage (cut in large chunks omitting the hard core and loosening up the chunks by hand) ;two handfuls (cups) of okra washed and stemmed; one or two carrots sliced about 1/4 inch thick, 1/2 cup diced white onion.. Have ready 1/2 cup low sodium vegetable broth, vegetable salt seasoning, and celery seeds. The process. Place the broth in a pot (I use an instant pot), and bring broth to a simmer. Toss in onions and stir them around a bit. Add carrots, then add cabbage. I use tongs to move the veggies around similar to how you would treat a stir fry. When the cabbage is a bit tender, sprinkle as desired with celery seed and top with okra. I leave okra whole. Some may want to slice them. I continue to turn the veggies adding hot water only as needed to avoid scorching. When the veggies are almost to the consistency I want, tender and green - not mushy and brown, I place a glass lid on the pot and simmer until the okra is tender- probably 3 minutes. Remove the pot from heat immediately to avoid overcooking. This sounds like a process but it is an easy dish. Prepping and cleanup probably takes about 15 minutes and cooking 10 to 15 min. All measurements are guesses. Okra and carrots are not needed. I prefer organic veggies. Just use what is in the kitchen. Chopped green pepper dropped in with the onions are great. I didn’t have them on hand this time. If you have a question, let me know. I called this a steamed cabbage- it is more of a story fry without oil. Enjoy.  

Oh my 🤯😵 thank you so much I'll give it my best try. 

If that recipe seems intimidating, really just cut up the cabbage, place in a steamer or boil until tender (10 minutes?). Season as desired. You can’t go wrong with cabbage. The main thing is to use very little liquid and not overcook it.  

Thank you for sharing your recipe.  

perfection!!!!!! Great for my household stomach diets we are on !!!!🙂 

You all are so welcome! I am pleased that the dish idea, and recipe are helpful. We are all on a health journey.☀️☀️☀️ 

Very interesting recipe. Worth a try. Thanks for sharing. 

Okra is almost in but unfortunately in Alabama you can only grow cabbage products in the Winter so I will mix them with something else I love to pickle them  

Katkay and Ridemariel let us know about your versions. I love to learn about new food prep ideas. 🌸
