A delightful and easy-to-make skillet cabbage dish with a savory twist, perfect for a quick and healthy meal.
Prepare the vegetables by chopping the cabbage, bell pepper, celery, onion, and tomatoes into bite-sized pieces.
Chop the vegetables evenly to ensure uniform cooking.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Ensure the skillet is hot before adding the vegetables to prevent sticking.
Add the onion, celery, and bell pepper to the skillet and sauté until softened, about 5 minutes.
Stir frequently to avoid burning the vegetables.
Stir in the cabbage and cook until it begins to wilt, about 5 minutes.
Cover the skillet briefly to help the cabbage wilt faster.
Add the tomatoes, stewed tomatoes, sugar, salt, and black pepper. Mix well.
Taste and adjust the seasoning as needed.
Cover the skillet and let the mixture cook over low heat for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Check occasionally to ensure the mixture doesn't stick to the skillet.
Serve the dish warm as a side or main course.
Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley for added flavor and presentation.
