  • 1 Tablespoon (15 ml) tomato paste

  2. Add the sliced onion and garlic to the pan and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the onion is softened.
  3. Add the tomato paste, cinnamon, and paprika to the pan and cook for 3 minutes until the mixture starts to caramelize.
  4. Add the sliced cabbage, tomato sauce, chopped tomatoes, and red wine vinegar to the pan and increase the heat to a boil.
