Braised cabbage is very tasty and aromatic, but sometimes you still want to "revive" the taste a little familiar dish... To do this, you need a little, just add new ingredient... In our case, this new ingredient will be sweet bell peppers.

To cook cabbage with pepper, we will need

White cabbage - 700 g;
- Bell pepper- 150 g;
- carrots - 1 large or 2 small;
- tomato paste - 50 ml;
- sunflower oil- 50 ml;
- Bay leaf, salt, ground pepper.

Recipe

Since the dish, in addition to cabbage, also includes peppers and carrots, which are cooked for a relatively long time, we will start cooking with these two vegetables.

1. If for the preparation of this vegetable dish if you intend to use fresh bell pepper, then it should be thoroughly washed and cut into half rings. In the cold season, it is more rational to use frozen bell peppers, since its price is much lower. Frozen peppers are usually sold pre-cut and should only be thawed and washed well in cold water.

2. It is better to choose larger carrots for the dish. The larger the carrot, the easier it is to grate and the less waste is left. So, the carrots need to be peeled and chopped.

3. After the first two ingredients are prepared, you can start frying. Pour about 50 ml of sunflower oil (preferably refined) into the brazier. Put carrots and peppers in a preheated brazier, add bay leaves (2-3 pieces). We fry vegetables for a pretty high fire for about 5 minutes, then reduce heat.

4. Meanwhile, while the first two ingredients are fried, shred the cabbage. And then add it to the vegetables. We fry under the closed lid of the brazier for 10 minutes, not forgetting to stir the vegetables occasionally.

5. It is more convenient to add tomato paste diluted. Stir 50 ml of concentrated tomato paste in a glass of drinking water. Pour the liquid into the brazier, salt and pepper the cabbage, continue to simmer the dish for another 15 minutes under a closed lid over low heat.

In early spring, when the first greens grown in the open field have not yet appeared on the shelves of grocery stores and in the markets, and greenhouse vegetables are very expensive, our body needs a vitamin supplement. After all, at this time of year, most of last year's vegetables have already lost their healing qualities, only fiber remained in them. But this does not apply to such a magical product as cabbage. Thanks to its dense, heady structure, this vegetable is able to retain all the useful vitamins until the new harvest.

Cabbage in winter and spring is eaten in different forms: raw, sauerkraut, boiled in the form of cabbage rolls. But the most delicious is fresh stewed cabbage with pork. At correct preparation you will get a delicate, aromatic dietary meal preserving all useful vitamins and minerals fresh vegetables.

Ingredients

• A small head of cabbage or half of a large head of cabbage
• 300 g pork, can be streaked with bacon
• 1 pc - carrots
• Bell pepper
• Half lemon
• 2-3 tomatoes
• Vegetable oil for extinguishing
• A little sugar
• Ground black pepper

Cooking method

Note: for stewing, it is best to take white cabbage of hard late varieties, since after heat treatment it turns out to be tender, juicy and elastic. Red cabbage not suitable for extinguishing.

This is an old traditional Slavic dish that was often cooked in families back in Soviet times, since cabbage is, first of all, a very inexpensive product, so the dish turns out to be economical.

We prepare all the required products in advance and put them on the table. Peel and wash vegetables.

Wash the meat and cut into small long strips, in the same way as for beef stroganoff.

Cut the onion into two parts, then cut each half into thin half rings.

Cut the pepper in half, remove the petiole and seeds. After that, cut each half into long ribbons or half rings.

It is better to cut the tomatoes into medium-sized cubes, as juice will quickly flow out of too small pieces.

Carrots can be cut into cubes, but better and faster - just grate on a coarse grater.

On this preparatory stage finished.

Take a deep, preferably cast iron skillet, but a stainless steel brazier will work as well. Turn the heat to high and preheat the skillet. Pour in a small amount of vegetable oil and immediately lay out the chopped pork. It is not necessary to pour a lot of oil, since the meat will quickly let out the juice and will not burn. After lowering the meat, do not rush to turn it over so that it browns on one side. If the meat is quickly fried, all the juice will remain in each piece, it will be retained by the crust and it will be very juicy in the dish. Salt and pepper a little meat, mix and salt and pepper again.

When the meat is completely browned, remove it from the pan with a slotted spoon, but very carefully so as not to burn yourself, put it on a plate and set it aside.

After the meat, onions are fried in the same pan with the remnants of the meat juice. To do this, reduce the heat and add a little oil, as the onion absorbs it strongly. Stir the contents of the pan continuously as the onions burn quickly.

After a while, add the carrots to the onion, stirring all the same so that no burnt pieces form.

Carrots take longer to stew than onions. The finished carrot takes on a translucent appearance and a loose consistency. On average, this will happen in 1-2 minutes after the start of extinguishing. Next, dip the bell pepper into the pan. After a while, vegetables can be salted. Salt, we need half a teaspoon without top and the same amount of sugar (sugar binds acid, makes the dish spicy). Stir and simmer everything together for 1 to 2 minutes, reducing heat to low.

At the end, put the tomatoes in the pan, after they let the juice in, add 200 g of boiling water to the pan and put the pre-fried meat. After that, the pan can be covered with a lid so that everything is thoroughly stewed out and saturated with the smells of each other, for 10 minutes.

At this time, start slicing cabbage. It can be done different ways as you like: straws or squares. Be sure to remember the chopped cabbage with your hands before the juice appears, from this ready meal will be even more tender.

Put the cabbage in the pan, you can't stir it now. Top up with a little more boiling water, cover and simmer for about an hour for a very small fire... You can stir the dish after about 30 minutes. Cabbage at this time should decrease in volume by half, it will become pinkish in color (close in tone to other vegetables), soft in consistency, and easily spreads in the mouth.

At the same time, add the juice of half a lemon, finally salt and pepper and simmer for another half hour until all ingredients are completely soft.

Before serving, sprinkle with chopped herbs, you can add a little sour cream, mayonnaise or ketchup, to taste.
