In many families, stewed cabbage is a must in their daily diets. And this is not at all surprising, because if you cook it correctly according to the recipe, it turns out to be very juicy and unusually tasty. Stewed cabbage can be served separately, as a side dish or as a filling for pies.
Both fresh cabbage and sauerkraut are suitable for stewing. If sauerkraut is too sour, then it should be washed first, but you need to know that this greatly reduces the amount of vitamin C. But fresh cabbage can be poured with boiling water, then it will not be bitter.
This dish is very useful in the winter season, when the body begins to experience a lack of vitamins. Stewed cabbage retains a sufficient amount of vitamins that cover the daily requirement of the body. There will be much more vitamins if you cook it together with carrots and onions. Of vegetable oils, it is best to choose unrefined sunflower, so cabbage will turn out to be much more aromatic. Stewed cabbage with potatoes is the most popular dish, as it is prepared quickly and easily. I suggest you try a few simple and tasty recipes.
