Stewed cabbage with potatoes in a cauldron

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to stew cabbage and potatoes in a cauldron on the stove? To begin, prepare the necessary ingredients according to the list. Tomato paste in this recipe can be replaced with crushed tomatoes in their own juice or tomato ketchup. You can add vegetables and spices to your taste.

2. STEP 2

   

   Remove the top damaged leaves from the cabbage and remove the stalk. Shred the cabbage. If you wish, you can use sauerkraut instead of fresh cabbage.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the potatoes and cut into medium cubes.

4. STEP 4

   

   Peel the carrots and grate on a coarse grater.

5. STEP 5

   

   Peel the onion and cut into thin half rings.

6. STEP 6

   

   Heat vegetable oil in a cauldron over medium heat. Add the onion and fry, stirring, until translucent. If you don’t have a cauldron, you can cook the dish in a large deep frying pan, but you may have to recalculate the amount of food so that everything fits. I have a 5 liter cauldron.

7. STEP 7

   

   Place cabbage in a cauldron and mix with onions.

8. STEP 8

   

   Simmer over low heat, covered, for about 10 minutes. During this time, the cabbage will become softer, release juice and decrease in volume.

9. STEP 9

   

   Add potatoes and carrots, tomato paste to the cauldron and stir.

10. STEP 10

    

    Pour clean drinking water into the cauldron. Simmer over low heat, covered, for about 15 minutes.

11. STEP 11

    

    Salt and pepper the cabbage, add bay leaf. Continue simmering, covered, for another 10-15 minutes or longer until the vegetables are cooked through. The exact simmering time depends on the heat level and the size of the vegetables. The larger they are cut, the longer they will take to cook.

12. STEP 12

    

    Place the finished stewed cabbage and potatoes on plates and serve, sprinkled with fresh herbs. Bon appetit!

I prepared stewed cabbage with potatoes for a side dish. Since the recipe allows for cooking in a frying pan, I took that one. First I fried the onion, then added chopped cabbage, and simmered the vegetables under the lid for 10 minutes. After that, I put potatoes, carrots and tomato paste into the pan. I mixed everything, poured in hot water, covered the frying pan with a lid, and left it on low heat for 15 minutes. Lastly, I added a bay leaf, added salt, and simmered for another 15 minutes. The dish turned out bright, satisfying and aromatic! Tender, appetizing vegetables went well with fried meat. I will now use the recipe for stewed cabbage with potatoes in a cauldron all the time! Thank you so much!

For a side dish I prepared stewed cabbage with potatoes in a cauldron. The ingredients for this dish are always available, which is a definite plus! Cut the onion into half rings and fry until golden brown. I cooked in a smaller cauldron, so I stewed the cabbage longer under a closed lid. After it had settled well, I laid out the potatoes, carrots and poured in water. I added the tomato paste last, because my potatoes were hard. As you know, the acid in tomatoes increases the cooking time of potatoes. I also added bay leaf, salt and vegetable seasoning. I mixed everything and let the vegetables soak in all the flavors and aromas. I loved the taste of the stewed vegetables, they go well together! The cabbage and potatoes are tender and juicy; the dish is perfect as a side dish for fish.

I apologize right away for the fact that I don’t know how to photograph dishes beautifully, but I still wanted to say my sincere thanks for this recipe for stewed cabbage with potatoes in a cauldron. True, I slightly modernized it: I added semi-smoked sausage fried in a frying pan. Delicious!
