Preparation

Screen ON

Step 1

You can substitute tomato paste with crushed canned tomatoes or tomato ketchup. Feel free to adjust the vegetables and spices to your taste.

Step 2

Remove any damaged outer leaves and the core from the cabbage. Shred the cabbage. If preferred, you can use sauerkraut instead of fresh cabbage.

Step 3

Peel the potatoes and cut them into medium-sized cubes.

Step 4

Peel and coarsely grate the carrot.

Step 5

Peel the onion and slice it into thin half-rings.

Step 6

Heat vegetable oil in a cauldron (or a large deep pan) over medium heat. Add the onions and sauté, stirring, until translucent. If you don’t have a cauldron, use a deep skillet, but you may need to adjust quantities. This recipe uses a 5-liter cauldron.

Step 7

Add the shredded cabbage to the cauldron and mix it with the sautéed onion.

Step 8

Cover and simmer over low heat for about 10 minutes. The cabbage will soften, release its juice, and reduce in volume.

Step 9

Add the potatoes, carrots, and tomato paste. Stir to combine.

Step 10

Pour in water. Cover and simmer on low heat for about 15 minutes.

Step 11

Season with salt, pepper, and add a bay leaf. Continue simmering, covered, for another 10–15 minutes or until the vegetables are tender. Cooking time depends on heat level and size of the vegetable pieces.

Step 12

Serve the finished braised cabbage with potatoes hot, sprinkled with fresh herbs if desired. Enjoy!
