Without false modesty, we can say that crispy cabbage stew is a universal dish that absolutely everyone likes. It is consumed in its own form, used for stews and roasts, omelets are prepared with it, pies and pies are baked, pancakes are stuffed, etc. And if it is supplemented with meat, then the dish becomes especially tasty, satisfying and nutritious. It should be noted that the undoubted advantage of the dish is its low calorie content in combination with satiety. One serving of stewed cabbage with tomatoes will remove hunger, which means no extra calories and overeating! With such a dish, you don't have to worry about your figure.
The peculiarity of this recipe is that not water or broth is used for stewing, but tomato puree from fresh tomatoes. You can use the meat you like the most for the recipe. For a fatty and satisfying meal, use pork; for a dietary and low-calorie meal, use chicken or turkey. Another important point is the dishes. Cabbage should be stewed only in a pan with thick walls and a bottom, ideally cast iron. Well, of course, the result of the finished dish largely depends on the cabbage itself and its variety. The juicy one is young, but after 15 minutes it will turn into porridge. Winter can be dry, so you can't do without additional tricks. You can also stew several types of cabbage at once: sauerkraut, pickled, fresh (winter and young new harvest).
