2		Crushed tomatoes with
		Added puree
		(or some equivalent)
1		Onion (large)
5		Garlic
2		Lemons or about - juice of
1/4		Balsamic or wine
		Vinegar
1/2 cup	80g / 2.8oz	Brown sugar
1		Talbespoons of grated - ¥
		Fresh ginger
		Salt and pepper to taste

Recipe Instructions

~ slice cabbage thinly to create cabbage strips, - half onion and slice thinly to create half rings - crush, slice or dice garlic - grate ginger

Put everything in a large soup pot and add water to cover plus a little more. Bring to boil, then reduce heat, cover, and simmer for 2-3 hours (longer the better).

Don't be afraid to add more tomato, sugar, or vinegar if you like it more tomatoey, sweeter, or more sour. Taste a couple hours into the cooking for adjustment. The cabbage will have imparted its flavor and the tomatoes will have mellowed.

You can also add rice during the last 45 - 30 minutes (also add the more water appropriate for the amount of rice you add. For example, I added 3/4 cup brown rice and 1 1/2 cup water the last 40 minutes)

Or add a can of white or garbanzo beans. (Again these won't need cooking, so just add at the end)
