This recipe - cabbage and meat - is traditional and loved by everyone. But here, too, there are nuances that can come in handy for novice cooking. For example, fresh stewed cabbage with meat is fresh, sauerkraut sauerkraut with meat is sour. The ideal option is a combination of the two.

How to make stewed cabbage with meat: Clean the onions and wash. Cut into half rings.

Pour vegetable oil into a pan with high sides with a layer of 4-5 mm. Put on a medium heat and pour out finely chopped onions. Simmer until soft and transparent (about 5 minutes), do not fry.

During the time the onion is stewed, wash the meat, drain and cut into 2-3 cm pieces.

Then add the meat to the pan to the onion. Simmer for 5 minutes over high heat stirring.

Then add sauerkraut, stir and simmer under a lid for 15-20 minutes over a low heat.

Grind fresh cabbage with large cubes or strips.

Add the cabbage to the pan. Salt, pepper and simmer until soft under the lid stirring. The first time you need to check the softness "for taste" in 30 minutes. Usually this time is enough. If the cabbage is tough or you just want to make it even softer, you can simmer the cabbage for longer (up to 1. 5 hours), checking the readiness every 15 minutes.

After 20-30 minutes of adding the cabbage, add the tomato paste or peeled fresh tomatoes.

When the stewed cabbage and meat is ready, add the bay leaves, turn off the heat and let brew under the lid for 10-15 minutes.

Here she is, ready-made cabbage stew with meat. Enjoy your meal!
