Classic stewed cabbage in a frying pan

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 45 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to stew classic cabbage in a frying pan? Prepare your food. When choosing cabbage, keep in mind that when stewed, it loses a lot in volume. I took a small dense head of cabbage. Wash and dry the vegetables. Remove the top leaves from the head of cabbage and rinse with water. Dry again.

2. STEP 2

   

   Shred the cabbage as thinly as possible. In this form, cabbage looks better and will cook much faster. I recommend shredding into thin, long strips.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onion and cut into small cubes. However, you can cut into thin half rings - your choice. Peel the washed carrots and grate them on a coarse grater.

4. STEP 4

   

   Heat half a portion of vegetable oil in a deep and wide frying pan. Place carrots and onions into the pan. Fry the vegetables over low heat for 7-10 minutes, stirring them. The onions should become transparent and the carrots should turn golden. As soon as this happens, transfer the onions and carrots from the pan into a separate bowl. Wash the pan or dry it with a paper towel. Or you can use another pan.

5. STEP 5

   

   Return the cleaned pan to the heat, pour the remaining oil into it and heat it. Place the cabbage in the pan. If you don’t have all of it, wait a little: the cabbage will settle and then you can add more. Fry the cabbage over low to medium heat for about 10-15 minutes. Be guided by your stove.

6. STEP 6

   

   This is how the volume of my cabbage decreased when frying. About 15 minutes passed and she started to blush underneath. You can mix it up.

7. STEP 7

   

   Add the previously set aside roasted vegetables, salt and pepper to the pan. Mix well.

8. STEP 8

   

   Make the heat low, cover the pan with a lid and simmer the cabbage until done. It took me about 15-20 minutes. The cabbage should become soft. If the cabbage is old and tough, you can add a little water when stewing and increase the cooking time. Bon appetit!

Classic stewed cabbage in a frying pan is such a simple but very tasty dish! Suitable both as a side dish and as an independent dish. I shredded the cabbage, grated the carrots on a coarse grater, and cut the onion into small cubes. First, I fried the onions and carrots and put them on a plate. Then I fried the cabbage, salted it and pepper it. Added the onions and carrots, stirred and simmered together for a few minutes. At the end I added chopped dill. Simple, fast and delicious! Great for dinner.

Classic cabbage stewed in a frying pan or solyanka. I usually cook it with sausages. But, if you cook only from vegetables, then I allowed myself to add bell pepper and tomato to the recipe. A very simple, tasty dish. Again in the post - that’s it.
