Method

Sauté the onion³ and carrot² in oil for 4 minutes.
Add the shredded cabbage, season with salt, pour in half a cup of water, and braise covered for 20 minutes.
Stir in the tomato⁴ paste and bay leaf, then braise uncovered for another 8–10 minutes.

Tips

Why it works: Obжаривай лук и морковь 4 минуты до мягкости, иначе они останутся сырыми и будут жесткими в готовом блюде.
Substitutions: Замени морковь 40 г картофелем, нарезанным кубиками, или добавь 30 г сладкого перца, нарезанного соломкой.
Common mistakes: Если вода выкипела слишком рано, капуста будет сухой и грубой; следи, чтобы она оставалась сочной.
Storing and reheating: Хранится 4 дня в холодильнике. Разогревай на сковороде 5 минут с 1 столовой ложкой воды.
Serve with: Подавай с сосисками или свиными котлетами на обед или ужин, как гарнир.
