First of all, the ajvar needs to be made. See the recipe ‘Quick Ajvar Sauce’ in the database: http://www.chefkoch.de/rezepte/3178751473106260/Schnelle-Ajvarsosse.html If you don’t have the time, you can simply use a jar of ready-made spicy ajvar. It works just as well and tastes just as delicious. Now clean the cabbage and cut it in half. Cut the halves into approximately 1.5 cm slices, and then cut these into 1.5 cm cubes. Peel and finely dice the onion and garlic. Heat the coconut oil in a sufficiently large saucepan and fry the cabbage cubes until they begin to brown slightly. Now reduce the heat to medium. Add the onion and garlic and fry for about 5 minutes. Pour in the vegetable stock, then add the ajvar and coconut milk and bring everything back to a boil. Add lemon juice and simmer the soup on low heat with the lid on for about 45 minutes. Season to taste and add chili and salt if desired. Without coconut milk, it’s low in fat and suitable for a diet. This soup is best made the day before, as it tastes almost better after a day.
