Pickled and fresh cabbage fried with tomato paste and pork
To prevent cabbage with meat from turning out bland and sour, we will take two types of cabbage - fresh and sour. When combined, you get a bright and deep taste of such a traditional-looking dish.
To prepare the dish we will need:
- 400 grams of sauerkraut,
- 800 grams of fresh cabbage,
- 500-600 grams of pork pulp,
- 2 large onions,
- tomato paste – 6 tbsp. spoons or fresh tomatoes - 5 pieces,
- a little sunflower oil for frying,
- a pinch of salt, seasonings, parsley - to taste.
Preparation:
When cooking, keep in mind that late varieties of cabbage and other types of meat take longer to stew. Therefore, for a lighter version of the dish, pork is perfect for us.
- First, pour sunflower oil into a deep frying pan. While the oil is heating up, we clean the onions well and rinse them under cold water. Next, cut it either into cubes or small half rings, according to your desire.
- Place it in a frying pan, turn the heat to medium and fry until the onion turns golden.
- Then we take the meat and wash it well. To prevent the meat from being too wet, place it on a paper towel or napkin.
- Now let’s start with the cabbage, we chop fresh cabbage, it’s easiest to just chop sauerkraut.
- We return to the onion, we first add the meat to it and simmer over medium heat for about 20-25 minutes. Open the lid and mix everything well.
- Add sauerkraut to the meat and onions and simmer under the lid, stirring regularly, for about 25 minutes.
- After 25 minutes, we add shredded fresh cabbage to the ingredients and close the lid until the dish is ready.
- Do not forget that at the previous stage we must salt the dish well and add to it all the necessary spices, in your opinion. Usually, the readiness of cabbage is judged by its softness, so try it after half an hour.
- If it seems to you that the cabbage is still tough, then simmer it longer, but do not forget to check every 15-20 minutes, otherwise you will overcook it! Also, do not forget that we add tomatoes or tomato paste when we first check the softness of the cabbage.
- The last stage of cooking will be adding the bay leaf, when you are already sure that the cabbage is ready! Don’t forget to turn off the heat and let it brew for another 20 minutes for a more intense aroma.
- Meat with stewed fresh and sauerkraut - ready! Don't forget to treat your family and friends to this delicious dish!
