A comforting and flavorful stew combining ham, beans, and vegetables, perfect for a cozy meal.
Chop the cabbage, carrots, potatoes, and onion into bite-sized pieces.
Cut the vegetables evenly to ensure they cook at the same rate.
In a dutch oven, combine the chopped vegetables, ham, water, salt, seasoning salt, and ground pepper.
Layer the ingredients evenly to distribute flavors.
Bring the mixture to a boil over medium-high heat.
Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the pot, and let it simmer for 1 hour.
Check occasionally to ensure there's enough liquid; add more water if needed.
Stir in the undrained garbanzo beans and continue cooking for an additional 15 minutes.
The beans will thicken the stew slightly and add a creamy texture.
Serve the stew hot, garnished with fresh parsley if desired.
Pair with crusty bread for a complete meal.
