Has potential, but needs better/more spices.
Edit: for making future batches, I used the whole can of tomato paste this time, almost doubled the spices, added a couple teaspoons of Worcestershire, and next time, I need to add the frozen veggies shortly before it's done, because ethe cabbage wasn't done enough and they were overcooking.
This may be a good candidate for a crockpot in the future, adding frozen veggies at the end.
