Yes! I forgot to add that you can add other vegetables to this stewed cabbage with potatoes and carrots and onions. For example green pea- canned. If this is peas for frying and stewing, then add it right along with the rest of the vegetables. It is possible and green beans, and ordinary ... Experiment.

And here I am preparing a side dish of stewed cabbage with potatoes and carrots. This is just a wonderful side dish - it can be served both with boiled and with stewed beef, and with cutlets and chops, and in general with any meat or fish. I cook very simply: I take potatoes and white cabbage, in approximately the same proportions. Shredded cabbage and in a pan with vegetable oil and a small amount water. I add finely chopped potatoes, chopped onions and grated carrots to the cabbage. Carrots, by the way, you can take more. All together, this is a carcass under the lid with the addition of some water until tender. It, of course, boils soft (especially if it is rich in starch potatoes), but it is very tasty, rich, very, so to speak, vegetable garnish. Salt, pepper to taste (black). Be sure to try this universal dish. I photographed the result. It's really tasty, cheap, and for every day. Still useful.

You will need for the filling: 300 grams of cabbage, 3 eggs, 1 onion, vegetable oil for stewing, salt to taste.

COOKING 1. Beat eggs, add sour cream, mayonnaise, flour, sugar (1 tsp), baking powder and knead well.

2. Prepare the filling: chop the cabbage, add chopped onion, salt to taste and stew in vegetable oil with a little water until tender. Hard boil eggs, peel and finely chop. Combine cabbage and onion with eggs and mix.

3. Grease a baking sheet with margarine and pour half of the dough onto it. Then spread the filling evenly and top with the remaining dough.

4. Place the pie in a preheated oven at 200 degrees and bake the pie for 15-20 minutes.

TIPS:

Shredded cabbage should be salted and mashed with your hands. In this case, the cooking time will be reduced.

When the cabbage is stewed until half cooked, add a piece of butter to it.

Eat for health! (this is not advice)

I believe that light food makes us more beautiful, lighter, healthier and generally rejuvenates and gives strength. Therefore, I often cook such dishes. Honestly, I didn’t know that stewed cabbage can be cooked in so many different ways. I always just stewed it with onions and carrots and tomato paste - that's all. Having visited your page, I cooked 4 stewed cabbage recipes in a row! I cooked with sauerkraut (it turned out to be just a bomb!), Cooked with meat (just chicken fillet), also a complete delight. I also made it with mushrooms. and the last cabbage stew was with rice - just mixed in the rice. By the way, the last dish turned out impromptu, I was not going to add rice (there was already chicken and sauerkraut ....) well, we bought new salt, very fine grinding, we were not used to salting with such salt, and I oversalted the cabbage terribly . And she was already almost ready, only damp, it remained a little to extinguish. Well, I took out the raw rice, washed it and just kneaded it into a pan with cabbage, covered it with a lid and stewed the rice until it was ready (it took him 15 minutes, everything stood for another 5 minutes - insisted). Rice, as you know, absorbs salt very strongly ... that's how I got the MOST delicious stewed cabbage in my life!

no, stewed cabbage is fine, but raw cabbage is much healthier. All raw vegetables, whatever one may say, are healthier many times over. If you have a juicer, try making cabbage juice with salt. Most healthy drink- not tea!

Cabbage juice with salt

1/4 head of fresh white cabbage (not very firm)

some salt

Juicer

Preparation: Divide the head of cabbage into 4 parts. Put 3 of them in the refrigerator, and pass one through a juicer.

Without filtering, pour the juice into a glass and lightly salt (otherwise it will not seem tasty at all). Drink cabbage juice in the morning on an empty stomach.

Fresh cabbage juice normalizes bowel function, removes excess cholesterol from the body, in addition, it prevents tonsillitis, promotes weight loss and eliminates skin rashes!

Such a recipe, as I will give now, has not yet been here, and in the comments too - I checked. This is a stew of stewed cabbage with beans. I have very little culinary experience. If you notice any flaws in the recipe - let me know, I'll fix it!

Braised cabbage with lard, sausages and beans

Required products: 1 cup beans, half a small head of cabbage, 1 large onion, 50 grams of smoked lard or brisket, 200 grams of smoked sausages, parsley and dill.

Cooking method: Boil beans until tender. Finely chop the onion and saute until golden brown. Chop the cabbage thinly, add the onion and simmer until the cabbage releases its juice. Then add beans, finely chopped bacon and sausages, salt, add spices and simmer until tender, adding water if necessary. At the end, add greens.

Yes, stewed cabbage is just a song, I love cabbage in general, it does not leave our table and, as a rule, it is present in a whole bunch of dishes: I stew cabbage, and make cabbage rolls with it, and pies with cabbage (both open and closed), and all winter we eat sauerkraut, I even make cabbage juice ... it grows very well in our grandmother's village and we always have a lot of cabbage. One of my favorite recipes is cabbage pancakes, these pancakes are not only tasty and healthy. I got this recipe from my aunt and now I often cook these for my son Pavlik, here is the recipe:

cabbage pancakes

First you need to peel the cabbage. Then chop it, pour boiling water. Simmer the cabbage until half cooked (or until the liquid has completely evaporated). Pour cabbage with milk - a third of a glass per 250 grams of cabbage. Simmer until the cabbage is soft, then grind it in a meat grinder. Pour 1 egg into the cabbage, salt, add 1 tablespoon of breadcrumbs. Spoon the minced cabbage into the skillet. Fry pancakes in vegetable oil. My son loves to eat these pancakes with sour cream.

There is no dish in the world that I love more than stewed cabbage. The author is right, if you add sauerkraut (in a ratio of one to three, that is, one part of sauerkraut, and as many as three or more parts of fresh), then stewed cabbage turns out to be even tastier, even more piquant, or something. As for the rest of the ingredients, in a small amount, they are very decorating: rice, and chicken, and sausages, and obligatory onions with carrots too

I was in Germany on a gastronomic tour, my husband and children are very fond of such trips, the cuisines of the whole world, it is so exciting and interesting. So, in Germany and Austria, by the way, they also love stewed cabbage. They also have many recipes for cooking this dish, and everything - everything that we tried, and there were about 4 different ones, were very tasty! We ate stewed cabbage in ordinary street cafes, and in expensive restaurants, and even at the hotel where we stayed, they served stewed cabbage, but it always went not as a main course, but as an addition to fried sausages, sausages ... I really I miss Germany, and specifically this trip, the places where we were. So I climbed into the Internet to look for recipes for stewed cabbage in order to at least remember how it was.

Hello everyone on my blog! Today I am writing for you recipes for the most everyday dish familiar to everyone - stewed cabbage. Despite its apparent simplicity, this side dish has several cooking options. And today I will write as many as 10 ways to deliciously put out a white-headed beauty.

If you are visiting me for the first time, be sure to check out other cabbage recipes. I recommend it and!

To stew vegetables, you need a fairly roomy dish - a cauldron, a pan with a thick bottom or a frying pan with high walls. You can also add a variety of spices, who likes what. AT classic version these are bay leaf, peppercorns, cloves. Cumin, a mixture of peppers, paprika and other herbs will also sound good. In general, in each recipe I wrote lists of ingredients, but you can adjust them for yourself.

Want to make a delicious and easy side dish? I propose to cook stewed cabbage according to classic recipe, without any additives in the form of meat and sausage. From the dishes you need a frying pan and a saucepan. And the dish will turn out the same as in the dining room - tasty and cheap.

Ingredients:

  • white cabbage - 1.2 kg
  • water - 1 tbsp.
  • onions - 1-2 pcs.
  • carrots - 1-2 pcs.
  • butter and vegetable oil for frying
  • tomato paste - 2 tbsp
  • wheat flour - 1 tbsp
  • sugar - 1.5 tbsp
  • salt - to taste
  • vinegar 9% - 1 tbsp.
  • black peppercorns - 15 pcs.
  • allspice peas - 3 pcs.
  • cloves - 5 pcs.
  • all-purpose seasoning - to taste

Cooking:

1. Wash the cabbage, remove the top leaves and chop. The cutting method can be any - thin and long straws, short wide straws, squares.

The stewing time will depend on the size of the pieces - the thinner you chop, the faster it will cook. But you should not grind too much, because in finished form it will not be very presentable.

2. Melt the butter in a frying pan - 30 grams. Pour in the cabbage and fry over high heat, stirring constantly so as not to burn. You do not need to fry for a long time, it is enough to wait for the moment when a specific smell appears. Look, do not turn the white cabbage into coals, it should remain light.

3.Pour the pieces into the pan. You already want to eat them, they beckon with a pleasant creamy aroma.

4. Pour a little vegetable oil into the pan - no more than a couple of spoons - and heat it up. Put the tomato paste and fry it for 2-3 minutes. This is necessary to remove the "raw" smell.

5. Add a glass of water, paste and vinegar to the cabbage. Stir and simmer until half cooked. Stir occasionally and make sure there is always liquid in the pan covering the bottom. Add water if necessary. Cooking time can vary from 15 to 40 minutes. This will depend on the variety of white cabbage and the size of the cut. Taste - the vegetable should be crunchy and not too soft.

6. In the meantime, fry the finely chopped onion in a pan until golden. Pour carrots to it - grated or cut into thin quarter circles. Fry for a couple more minutes and pour the dressing into the cabbage.

7. Also add all the spices to taste - seasoning (preferably natural) universal, cloves and peppercorns. Spices can be anything, but they should be to give the side dish a bright flavor.

It will be insipid without spices (for example, you can take coriander, a mixture of peppers, hot peppers for lovers of hot dishes, Italian herbs).

8. If there is little moisture, add water, mix and continue to simmer until fully cooked. Decide now and try it yourself. You can cook until very soft so that the cabbage just melts in your mouth. And you can leave a little crunchiness. Everything is done according to preference.

9. Pour flour into a dry frying pan and dry a little until it becomes the color of baked milk. 5 minutes before the dish is ready, pour it with flour, salt and sugar. Stir, wait until everything dissolves and try. If necessary, balance the taste by adding the desired ingredient.

10. Serve hot. This dish will be a great addition to the main dish. Try it this way, it's really delicious!

How to cook fresh stewed cabbage with chicken

The chicken cooks quickly, it is soft and tender, it has little fat. And it costs less than beef or pork. Therefore, it can often be found on our tables. And the cabbage that we are preparing today can be stewed with this bird. Any part of the chicken can be: diet breast or thigh fillet, more fatty, but also tastier.

Ingredients:

  • cabbage - 1.5 kg
  • chicken - 500 gr.
  • tomato paste - 3 tbsp
  • onion - 2 pcs.
  • carrots - 1 pc.
  • vegetable oil refined for frying
  • water - 100 ml
  • salt - to taste
  • oregano, ground black pepper, ground coriander
  • butter - 20 gr. (optional)

Cooking:

1. It is convenient to cook in a cauldron or in a pan with high sides. If there is no such utensil in the kitchen, then fry the food first in your frying pan, and then stew them in the pan. Pour vegetable oil into the bottom of the cauldron, heat it. Wash the chicken, pat dry with paper towels and cut into portions. Pour into boiling oil.

2. Fry the meat over high heat, stirring until golden brown. The photo shows how far it should be prepared. This will release more juice from the chicken.

As you know, most modern chickens prick saline solution to make them weigh more. At heat treatment, from which this liquid is released. It can be drained if desired.

3. When the pieces are browned, add to them the onion, cut into half rings, and the carrot, grated on coarse grater.

4. Stir and fry also over high heat, until the onion becomes transparent and the carrots soften. Only now can you salt the dish and add the spices you want. I like to put coriander, oregano and, according to the classics, black pepper in this food composition. But you can add what is available and what you like. Fry for a couple more minutes to release the seasonings in the oil.

5. Dissolve tomato paste in water and pour into a cauldron, mix. Reduce heat to medium.

6. Chop the cabbage into medium straws and put in a deep bowl. Season lightly and mix with your hands. At the same time, you need to crush it so that the juice begins to stand out. Actions similar to those we do with .

7. Put the white cabbage in a saucepan, cover with a lid. You don’t need to stir yet, just let it sweat, release the juice. It will noticeably decrease in volume. Simmer the dish covered for 10 minutes.

8.Now it's time to mix everything together. Cover the lid again and simmer until done. Do not forget to look periodically into the pan, stir. Make sure that the water does not completely boil away, there should always be liquid at the bottom. If it's not there, add it.

9. To make the dish tasty, you need to try it and not overdo it. Cook until the state of cabbage that you like. Young vegetables in general will become soft very quickly, late varieties will languish longer.

10. As soon as the taste completely satisfies you, turn off the stove. For example, I do not like too soft vegetables. I prefer them to be crunchy, so don't simmer cabbage for more than 25 minutes. I know people who want everything to be soft. Then you need to languish for an hour. Choose your option and delight your loved ones with a delicious (or lunch).

5 minutes before cooking, you can add a piece of butter to the dish. When serving, sprinkle with fresh herbs.

  • salt, spices, sugar - to taste

Cooking:

1. Let's start with the bow. It needs to be peeled and cut into cubes. Pour into the multicooker bowl vegetable oil, pour the onion and set the "Frying" mode. Cook the onion until translucent with the lid open (it will take about 3 minutes).

2. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater and send to the onion. Stir and fry for another 5 minutes.

3. Wash the meat very well and cut into small cubes. Send to the slow cooker with vegetables and mix. Fry everything together for another 10-15 minutes, but already under a closed lid.

4. In the meantime, chop the cabbage into small pieces.

5. Add tomato paste to beef and salt, mix. Now it's time to lay the cabbage. Put it in portions and mix everything. Pour a glass at the end hot water.

At this stage, you can add any spices. Cumin, coriander goes well with cabbage. Or you can just take a complex seasoning or “tasty” salt. I also add some sugar along with salt to compensate for the acidity of the tomato.

6. Close the lid and set the "Extinguishing" mode for 1.5 hours. Usually in this mode, everything is cooked for a long time, at a low temperature, it languishes. If you want to speed up the process, you can cook in the "Baking" mode. But in this case, it will be necessary to pour in not one glass of water, but three and a half, because it will actively evaporate. Time for "Baking" will be enough for 1 hour.

If you cook in an accelerated version, you will definitely need to mix the dish a couple of times. In the "Extinguishing" mode, this can not be done.

7. After the signal of the kitchen assistant, you can serve ready-made cabbage to the table. It tastes great with mashed potatoes or pasta. Eat yourself and treat your loved ones!

Recipe 4: how to deliciously stew young fresh cabbage (with photo)

We will tell you a simple recipe for stewed cabbage in tomato paste with carrots. We will stew white cabbage, cooking time - 40 minutes. If you stew young cabbage, the cooking time will be reduced by about 10 minutes, as young cabbage cooks faster. We give basic recipe stewed fresh cabbage, if you wish, you can add chopped sausage, sausages or pieces of chicken fillet to the cabbage.

  • 1-2 carrots;
  • tomato paste - 2-3 tablespoons;
  • sunflower oil - 30 ml;
  • salt - a teaspoon;
  • bay leaf - 2-3 leaves.

The first step is to chop the cabbage. It is better to do this with a knife, and not in a combine or with a grater. Only by hand is it possible to cut cabbage beautifully and thinly. Shredded cabbage is slightly wrinkled with our hands so that it becomes softer and let the juice flow.


Carrots should be peeled, cut off the base. Peeled carrots should be grated on a coarse grater.


Add carrots to cabbage.
We will stew the cabbage in a pan. This will require a frying pan with high enough sides so that the cabbage does not fall out of the frying pan during the frying and stirring process.
Pour a little sunflower oil into the pan and spread the cabbage with carrots. Add two or three bay leaves for aroma and piquancy of taste.


Fry the cabbage for the first five minutes over high heat, stirring with a spatula every 20-30 seconds, otherwise the cabbage will start to burn. After a few minutes, cabbage with carrots will become much softer. Add salt and mix the contents of the pan thoroughly.


Next, add tomato paste to the cabbage. To do this, stir two tablespoons of tomato paste in a cup of water. Then pour the water with the pasta directly into the pan with the cabbage.


Cover the pan with a lid and continue to simmer the cabbage over low heat for about 15 minutes (do not forget to stir occasionally). You should control the amount of liquid in the cabbage. When most of the water has evaporated, the cabbage is ready. Turn off the heat and transfer the stewed cabbage to a salad bowl. For your information: in the process of frying and stewing, the cabbage will shrink and decrease in volume by about half.

Recipe 6: how to deliciously stew sauerkraut in German

Braised sauerkraut is a traditional side dish for pork knuckle, all kinds of sausages and other meat dishes of German cuisine.

Sometimes cabbage is offered to be stewed with lard, but I recommend butter - this way the side dish will be lighter, because it will have to be eaten with meat, which already has enough fat. And lovers of lean cuisine can cook such stewed sauerkraut with vegetable oil. The result will be no worse, I assure you.

There is also a small "fly in the ointment" - a strong sour smell when stewed, so be prepared to air out your kitchen.

  • Sauerkraut - 1 kg
  • Onion - 2 medium onions
  • Butter - 100 g
  • Cumin - to taste

We can ferment cabbage ourselves, but it’s easier to buy ready-made cabbage on the market. It is advisable to take cabbage like this, thinly chopped.
