This is one meal that my Mom made me fall in love with. It looks great on party tables due to the exquisite blend of colour. I love the finished product to be crunchy in my mouth so I usually don’t overcook the vegetables. When it is ready, I eat with no guilt. Ha!
The main ingredient here is cabbage. Here are some other ingredients you will need:
You can substitute the fish above for any other protein of choice- beef, smoked fish, chicken, turkey, you name it. In this particular pot of Mixed Vegetables, I used shrimps and they worked great!
Let’s cook!
