Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
To prepare the dish you will need: white cabbage (preferably young), sunflower oil, carrots, onions, tomato paste, salt, pepper, dried herbs or fresh herbs and bay leaves in an amount corresponding to the number of pots.

Step 2

Step 2
So, chop the white cabbage into small strips. It would be better to use young cabbage, as it is more tender. I suggest mixing all the vegetables separately in a bowl and then placing them in a pot. You can do the opposite: immediately place the vegetables in pots. But to ensure uniform distribution of all vegetables in each individual serving, we will mix them in advance.

Step 3

Step 3
Peel the onions and finely chop them.

Step 4

Step 4
Rinse the carrots under running water (preferably with a brush), peel them with a vegetable peeler and grate them on a coarse grater. It is better to take sweet and juicy carrots, since there are not too many ingredients in this dish, and this vegetable will play one of the main roles in shaping the taste of the finished dish.

Step 5

Step 5
Add salt and pepper to taste, as well as dried herbs. I use marjoram, basil and oregano. Fresh herbs are perfect here too. For flavor, you can also add a clove of garlic, grated on a fine grater.

Step 6

Step 6
Add tomato paste and thoroughly mix all the vegetables together.

Step 7

Step 7
Grease the bottom of clay baking pots with a drop of sunflower oil. And distribute the cabbage evenly between them. A bay leaf must be placed in the middle of each pot so that its taste and aroma are transferred to the entire volume of cabbage. The pots can be filled tightly and to the very top, since the cabbage will lose a lot of volume during heat treatment. If you are worried that the cabbage will burn, you can add two tablespoons of water to each pea.

Step 8

Step 8
Cover the pots with lids and bake in an oven preheated to one hundred and eighty degrees for forty minutes. Place the pots in a cold oven to avoid possible damage to the dishes (so that they do not crack).

Step 9

Step 9
After this time, I stirred the cabbage and tried a small piece. It seemed to me that it was a little crunchy, so I let the cabbage cook for another twenty minutes at the same temperature. In general, cooking times will differ for everyone due to the individual characteristics of ovens.
