Cajun Cabbage Stew

There isn't anything Earth shattering about this stew. It's just a good ole belly filling stew for cabbage lovers like me, and in fact, if you add in a little bit more broth in the second stage of cooking, you'll have a perfectly acceptable cabbage soup. I've used a variety of meats - andouille, ground beef, ground pork, Italian sausage, chorizo and even leftover brisket, but I like the ground beef and andouille combo the best.

Here in the Deep South, this is usually called Cajun Stew or Cabbage Stew, though if you add in some cooked rice at the end, or serve it over rice, it's a little like an unstuffed cabbage roll stew. Add the rice and increase the bell pepper quite a lot, and you've got a pretty good start to an unstuffed pepper soup.

Cajun Stew has the culinary Trinity of onions, bell pepper and celery, plus I like it with potatoes and carrots, and cabbage, of course. It's a simple one pot meal that is classic Cajun cooking. Most recipes will include a can of Rotel tomatoes {affil link} for a little added flavor boost, though you can reduce the heat by using a can of regular diced tomato instead.


Kinda like seafood and Old Bay, I also like to season most of my cabbage dishes with a few shakes of Cavender's, {affil link} which is a Greek seasoning that contains a mixture of about 13 separate seasonings and all kinds of goodness, but I didn't write it into the recipe since many of y'all may not keep that as a pantry staple. Good ole salt and pepper will do just fine.


For the base you can use either chicken broth or beef broth, or water with a base or bouillon. I tend to base which to use on the meats I'm using.

Now that's a comforting pot of goodness for us cabbage lovers y'all! I hear that once this tropical system (hopefully) or hurricane (hopefully not) passes this weekend, we might just see some near fall-like temperatures here in the Deep Coastal South. I am ready and this stew would be a great way to celebrate. Here's how to make it.
