West African Cabbage and Tomato Stew with Mackerel
  1. 1

    Put the cabbage in a large pot, cover with salted water, and bring to a boil. Lower the heat to medium-low and simmer until just tender, about 10 minutes. Drain.

  2. 2

    Warm the canola oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Cook and stir the onion and garlic in the hot oil until the onion is translucent, 5 to 7 minutes. Stir the tomatoes into the onion mixture, cover the saucepan, and cook until the tomatoes are soft, 10 to 15 minutes.

  3. 3

    Stir together the water and tomato paste in a small bowl until smooth; pour into the saucepan. Stir the mixture, cover again, and cook for another 5 minutes. Add the mackerel in tomato sauce; season with red pepper flakes and seasoned salt. Stir the drained cabbage into the mixture. Cover the saucepan and simmer until the mackerel is hot, 10 to 15 minutes.
