Top tips

Here are my best tips for the perfect results:

Feel free to add more or different seasoning to suit your taste. You can add some cajun seasoning, taco seasoning or Italian seasoning to change things up!
This recipe is perfect for using up leftover veggies or cooked meats. Anything can be thrown into the skillet.
Make sure to grate or very finely slice the cabbage. If you cut it too thick it will take longer to cook.
If you use low quality diced tomatoes, you might find that the skillet tastes slightly acidic. If this happens, you can add a pinch of sugar or sweetener to balence the flavors.
