Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to stew cabbage in a frying pan with sausages? Prepare all the necessary ingredients. Take juicy cabbage, fresh if possible, not stale. It should be bright green or white, without strong abrasions, with elastic, succulent leaves. You can replace tomato paste with ketchup. In addition to the ingredients indicated in the recipe, you can add one finely chopped onion.

Step 2

Step 2
You can use any sausage for this dish. But it is worth considering that they can greatly affect the final taste of the dish. For example, if you take sausages with a pronounced smoked taste, then the whole dish will also have a slight smoked taste. If you want a neutral flavor, use regular sausages, such as milk or butter. Peel the sausages from the factory film and cut into not very thin slices.

Step 3

Step 3
Wash the cabbage, cut out the stalk and chop it thinly, avoiding the dense parts of the leaves near the stalk.

Step 4

Step 4
Peel the carrots and grate on a coarse grater.

Step 5

Step 5
Heat vegetable oil in a deep frying pan with a thick bottom. Add grated carrots and fry over medium heat (I use setting 5 out of 9) until soft, about 5 minutes. If you want to add chopped onions to the cabbage, you should add them along with the carrots. How to choose a frying pan and oil, read the separate articles at the end of this recipe.

Step 6

Step 6
Add cabbage and mix thoroughly with carrots. At first, the cabbage takes up a lot of space, but as it simmers, the excess moisture will evaporate and the cabbage layer will settle greatly. Therefore, if you see that all the cabbage does not fit into the frying pan, then add it in parts and as it settles, add more and stir.

Step 7

Step 7
Simmer the cabbage and carrots over low heat, covered, for about 15 minutes.

Step 8

Step 8
Pour in a glass of boiling water and continue to simmer under the lid until the cabbage is soft for about 30 minutes. If the cabbage is young, it will take a little less time. If it’s tough, then a little longer. Therefore, periodically check the readiness of the cabbage.

Step 9

Step 9
Add tomato paste, bay leaf and allspice to the cabbage. Stir and simmer over low heat for about 7 minutes.

Step 10

Step 10
Pour the prepared sausages into the cabbage and stir. Simmer everything together for about 5 more minutes. Taste the cabbage and add salt and pepper if necessary. It is advisable to add salt and pepper at the end, since after adding tomato paste and sausages, the dish may no longer need additional spices. Much depends on the degree of saltiness of the tomato paste and sausages.

Step 11

Step 11
Remove the finished cabbage from the heat and let it brew under the lid for about 10 minutes. Bon appetit!
