So thick you can eat it with a folk. I loved the oregano and cabbage in this dish. My mini food processor made fast work of chopping the carrots, celery and onion. Before step 3 I did need to add 1 cup water as it was so thick. Maybe if I simmered it covered in step 2 I would not had to worry. I'll be making this again, thank you for posting it.
