In our Braised Cabbage and Beans recipe you get a hearty dose of both of these superfoods along with tasty vegetable stock, spicy peppers, and a bit of lemon juice for that tangy zing. It’s a dish that’s simple to prepare and warms the soul during the cold days of winter. The specific type of canned peppers we use are quite spicy. If you’d like something more mild, you can replace them with canned roasted red peppers.
Light up the stove and get a-cookin’, folks. You’ll be glad you did.
What Makes This Cabbage and Beans Recipe so Nutritious?
