Can I make it without tomatoes?

Yes, skip the tomatoes and use a splash of broth with lemon juice or tamarind for acidity.

Is this dish healthy?

Absolutely. It’s rich in protein, high in fiber, and low in carbs—especially without grains.

Yes, but you'll want to add extra olive oil or broth for flavor and moisture.

Cook it only until tender and avoid stirring it too much during cooking.

Very much so. Portion it into containers, freeze, and thaw as needed for quick meals.

Yes. Brown the meat first, then layer in cabbage and seasonings and cook on low for 4–5 hours.
