Ingredients

Execution Steps

  1. 1

    In a bowl, whisk together the vegetable broth, tomato paste, maple syrup, soy sauce, smoked paprika, and garlic powder.

  2. 2

    Place the shredded cabbage in the slow cooker.

  3. 3

    Pour the seasoned sauce over the cabbage and toss well to ensure it is evenly distributed.

  4. 4

    Cover and cook on LOW for 4 hours (or HIGH for 2 hours) until the cabbage is soft and has absorbed the smoky flavors.

Slow-cooking shredded cabbage with maple syrup and smoked paprika mimics the texture and flavor profiles of traditional pulled pork. The fibers absorb the sweet, smoky liquid under prolonged low-temperature steam. A surprisingly convincing vegetable hack.
