Baked Cabbage with tomatoes
(from cckelly’s recipe box)
The basic recipe is Morrocan. I make this a more complete casserole by adding garbanzo beans, quinoa, green chiles and vegetables such as zucchinni, yellow squash, peas, corn or whatever blends but adds substance that I have in the house.

MY NOTES: when I cooked according to directions, the cabbage came out way too crunchy for my taste. I had to steam and additional 15 minutes and add more liqued to the casserole to get a softer finished cabbage. To compensate, I uncovered and browned it for 5-10 minutes at the end so that it was still al dente but browned.
