Instructions

1. Wash the cabbage, remove the outer and/or imperfect leaves, and slice it into 1 cm (about 1/2 inch) wide strips.
   
2. Combine the vinegar and water in a small bowl.
   
3. Place the chopped cabbage in a very large pan, pour in the vinegar and water mixture, add broken bay leaves, cumin, salt, and pepper. Mix well.
   
4. Cover the pan with a lid and cook the cabbage over low heat, stirring occasionally. Add a bit of water if needed to prevent the cabbage from burning. Cook for 40-60 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
