Method

  1. Shred the cabbage and dice the onion3, carrot4, and mushrooms.

  2. Heat the oil in a pan, sauté the onion3 and carrot4 for 5 minutes.

  3. Add the mushrooms and cook for 7 minutes until excess moisture evaporates.

  4. Stir in the cabbage, salt, and pepper, then simmer covered for 20 minutes.

  5. Mix the tomato5 paste with 80 ml of water, then pour it over the cabbage.

  6. Simmer for another 10 minutes until the cabbage is tender but still holds its shape.

Tips

Why it works
Fry the onion and carrot for 5 minutes until golden so they release their juice and do not make the stew watery. Fry the mushrooms for 7 minutes over medium heat so all the moisture cooks off and they do not fall apart in the cabbage.
Substitutions
Instead of champignons, take oyster mushrooms or milk caps, 150 g each, but fry them 2 minutes longer. Instead of tomato paste, grate 100 g of fresh tomatoes with the skin or add 1 tablespoon of puree.
Common mistakes
The cabbage falls apart if you oversalt it or stew it over high heat. Check after 15 minutes: it should stay in whole leaves but be easy to pierce with a fork.
Storing and reheating
Keeps for 4 days in the fridge. Reheat in a pan for 5 minutes under a lid, adding 1 tablespoon of water. Do not freeze, the cabbage will turn soft.
Serve with
Serve with boiled rice or buckwheat, pouring the pan juices over it. Also goes well with boiled eggs or a slice of black bread.
