What dishes can be prepared from white cabbage? I suggest you try the cabbage casserole in its various variations. A tasty, inexpensive and simple meal for the whole family.
I love summer not only because of its colors, warmth and a lot of entertainment, but also because it gives us a lot of vitamin in the form of vegetables and fruits, from which you can cook light, tasty and healthy dishes. When eyes run up from the abundance of fresh vegetables in the refrigerator, then the hostess's unbridled imagination turns on. A lot of culinary ideas arise in my head that I really want to bring to life. Hands itch to cook something very beautiful, very tasty and very unusual. At the threshold of summer, soon and you will have the opportunity to eat vegetables and fruits in unlimited quantities. Let me give you some good cabbage recipes.
This vegetable should be indispensable on the Russian table. He has absorbed so many vitamins and minerals, which, perhaps, no other vegetables in this combination have. Cabbage contains glucose, fructose, fiber, folic acid, easily digestible protein, vitamins A, C, B, a whole complex of minerals. If I convinced you that cabbage is really healthy, take a note of the cabbage casserole recipe.
Because of its simplicity, the casserole is unlikely to fit the festive table. I usually cook this dish for dinner. Cabbage is easily digested, which means that it can be served both for lunch and dinner. Let's start with the ingredients. You will need:
- 1 medium head of cabbage;
- 500 gr. minced meat;
- 2 medium onions;
- 2 eggs;
- 1 cup of milk;
- 100 gr. hard cheese;
- fresh greens;
- salt, pepper, spices.
Cabbage casserole with meat cook for about an hour. So, let's start with cabbage. So that the dish does not work hard it is better to make it from young cabbage. If you are not young yet, you can take the old one, but you need to chop it very finely. I make it easier for myself and pass through a vegetable cutter a food processor. Salt a little and for now set aside.
Let's cook minced meat. Finely chop the onions and fry until golden brown. Put the fried onions, minced meat and spices for meat in a deep bowl. Mix well, preferably with your hands. To pour, you need to beat two eggs with milk in a blender, add a little salt and pepper. Now take the baking dish and grease it with oil. We spread a layer of cabbage, pour a little egg-milk mixture, spread a layer of minced meat (minced meat is not the whole, the dish will turn out puff). On top again, a thin layer of cabbage, then a layer of minced meat, pour the mixture, cover again with cabbage and pour the remaining mixture from above. For beauty, you can sprinkle with grated cheese and fresh herbs a little, the cabbage casserole will turn out with a beautiful crust. To make the dish look beautiful on a portioned plate, it is better to spread it with a special spatula for the cake. As a sauce, you can serve low-fat sour cream on the table.
There are several options for this dish. I will share one more - a cabbage casserole with potatoes. Only potatoes are added to all of the above ingredients. Two potatoes need to be peeled and grated on a coarse grater, also slightly salted. We do the same thing, only for each layer of minced meat we spread another layer of grated potatoes. The taste is becoming more diverse. Puff casserole looks very beautiful and appetizing on a plate.
For a dietary option, cabbage casserole can be completely without filling. Finely chopped cabbage you just need to salt, pepper, pour the egg and milk mixture, ten minutes before ready to sprinkle with grated cheese.
In a word, how many people, so many tastes and variations of this dish. Do not be afraid to experiment in the kitchen, fantasize, invent and translate your ideas into ready-made dishes! Enjoy your meal!
