This recipe came to be because I made a huge batch of Garlic Sauce for my brothers 30th birthday. I made roasted chicken, made this sauce and turned them into shawarma’s. They were delicious! But I wanted to keep using the sauce and so I thought about the cabbage in my garden. When I put them together with sauteed tomatoes and cilantro, oh..my…goodness…so delicious!! And this is a very simple recipe to do as well. Enjoy my friends.
