Stewed cabbage. GOST February 18th, 2013

With this post I am opening the “GOST” section, which will be marked with the same tag. I’m a little tired of criticizing Soviet cuisine as such, and therefore I will periodically prepare dishes according to the “Collection of Recipes”. Let me explain what it is, this is a book with recipes, which has been approved by law for all public catering establishments, dating back to deep Soviet times. To make it even clearer, for any certified chef, it is essentially the main assistant in the kitchen, almost the Bible.
A small digression. It was impossible to buy this book in the USSR, they were stolen, they were stored in safes, they were issued with such supervision that the Lenin Library was at rest.
I really don’t like the fact that many years of traditions of the Soviet school are being overthrown by people who only vaguely understand the technological processes of preparing dishes. But of course they mastered tiramisu and once oysters.
Stewed cabbage is the first experience in the last 20 years that I have prepared gram for gram without deviating from technology. Let me say right away that I was delighted.


Recipe for one serving (all products in net).

Fresh cabbage - 200 gr.
Vinegar 9% - 3 gr.
Smoked brisket - 25 gr.
Tomato paste - 8 gr.
Carrots - 10 gr.
Onion - 15 gr.
Flour - 4 gr.
Sugar - 10 gr.

I prepared for 8 servings, multiply accordingly.

The peculiarity of the "Collection of Recipes" is its versatility. Initially, it is divided into 3 “columns”, that is, 1- restaurants, 2- cafes and canteens, 3- workers’ canteens, canteens of educational institutions, etc. I won’t explain that the first column is much richer than the third). There is also a choice of margarine, or lard, or smoked brisket. And there are also tables for the interchangeability of products, let’s say there are no turnips, then you can increase the amount of potatoes and parsley root. In short, the book is universal, you won’t be lost. And of course I took the richest content. After all, I am a restaurant student, not a canteen student).
Let's cook. Pour 20-30% water or broth relative to the mass of cabbage into a saucepan (I have a cauldron), i.e. for 1.5 kg of cabbage, 0.5 liters of broth.

Cut the cabbage into medium pieces and add it to the broth.

I used this smoked brisket as a meat filler and fat for frying.

I cut it into cubes 0.5x0.5 cm and divided it into two halves.

Place half of the brisket in a heated frying pan and render off the fat.

Then he poured the tomato diluted with water into the pan. pasta and sautéed until done.

Immediately added the tomato sauce and vinegar to the cabbage and stirred.
After that, I immediately rendered the fat from the second half of the brisket and fried the onions and carrots on it. At this point, the cabbage was half cooked and the vegetables went with it.

Mixed everything and simmered until almost done. I would like to note that trying cabbage is a special pleasure. 5 minutes before readiness, I added flour sauté diluted with water (I wrote how to make it).

Then he added a leaf, adjusted it to taste with salt, sugar and pepper, and let it boil. Ready.
Can be served as a separate dish, or, for example, with mashed potatoes. This is where the wonderful compatibility is).

Enjoy everyone!

P.S. For anyone who has memories of stewed cabbage from kindergarten or school, forget it, cook it, you will discover it again. I opened it and have never regretted it!

If you stew cabbage with meat, you get a dish called bigos. The main ingredient can be either fermented or fresh. This recipe will require fresh white vegetables. But you can take any meat - pork, beef, veal. It will be delicious in any case.

Ingredients:

  • pork (any meat) - 300 gr.
  • cabbage - 1 kg
  • onions - 1 pc.
  • carrots - 1 pc.
  • fresh tomatoes - 4 pcs.
  • salt, pepper - to taste
  • vegetable oil for frying

Cooking method:

1. Rinse the meat well, remove excess films if any. Cut this product into cubes.

2. Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan (you don’t need a lot, the meat will release more fat) and fry the pork pieces until golden brown. Stir occasionally. This will take about 15 minutes.

There is no need to salt the meat right away, otherwise it will release juice and end up dry.

3. Peel the onion and cut into half rings. Add to the fried meat, stir and cook with the lid open for about 5-8 minutes.

4. Cut the carrots into thin strips. To do this, first cut the vegetable into circles, doing it diagonally. And then, stacking the resulting pieces on top of each other, cut them into strips. Place the carrots in the pan and simmer everything together for another 5-8 minutes.

5.Cut the tomatoes into cubes and send them to the already pleasantly smelling roaster. Pepper and stir. Continue simmering the dish for another 5 minutes.

7.Stir the bigos occasionally to ensure everything cooks evenly. The volume of cabbage will greatly decrease and it will produce juice. If there is not enough juice, add a little water, which should cover the bottom. At the end, taste your dish. If it seems too sour, you can add a little sugar. Also add spices and herbs to taste.

During fasting, meat can be replaced with separately boiled beans. To save time, you can buy ready-made beans in their own juice. It will also be satisfying and tasty.

  • onions - 2 pcs.
  • carrots - 1 pc.
  • refined vegetable oil for frying
  • water - 100 ml
  • salt - to taste
  • oregano, ground black pepper, ground coriander
  • butter - 20 gr. (optional)

Preparation:

1. It is convenient to cook in a cauldron or in a frying pan with high sides. If you don’t have such utensils in your kitchen, first fry the food in your frying pan and then simmer it in the pan. Pour vegetable oil into the bottom of the cauldron and heat it. Wash the chicken, pat dry with paper towels and cut into portions. Place in boiling oil.

2.Fry the meat over high heat, stirring, until golden brown. The photo shows until what point it should be cooked. This will allow the chicken to release more juice.

As you know, most modern chickens are pricked with a saline solution to make them weigh more. During heat treatment, this liquid is released from them. If desired, it can be drained.

3.When the pieces are browned, add onion, cut into half rings, and carrots, grated on a coarse grater.

4. Stir and fry over high heat until the onion becomes transparent and the carrots soften. Only now you can salt the dish and add the spices you want. I like to add coriander, oregano and the classic black pepper to this product composition. But you can add what you have in stock and what you like. Fry for a couple more minutes to allow the seasonings to release into the oil.

5. Dissolve tomato paste in water and pour into a cauldron, stir. Reduce heat to medium.

6. Chop the cabbage into medium strips and place in a deep bowl. Lightly salt and mix with your hands. At the same time, you need to mash it so that the juice begins to stand out. Actions similar to those we do with .

7.Place the white cabbage in a saucepan, cover with a lid. There is no need to stir yet, just let it simmer and release the juice. It will noticeably decrease in volume. Simmer the dish covered for 10 minutes.

8.Now it's time to mix everything together. Cover the lid again and simmer until done. Don’t forget to look into the pan periodically and stir. Make sure that the water does not completely boil away; there should always be liquid at the bottom. If there is none, add more.

9. For a dish to turn out tasty, you need to taste it and not overcook it. Cook until the cabbage is just the way you like it. Young vegetables will generally become soft very quickly, while late varieties will simmer longer.

10. As soon as you are completely satisfied with the taste, turn off the stove. For example, I don’t like vegetables that are too soft. I prefer them to crunch, so I don’t simmer cabbage for longer than 25 minutes. I know people who want everything to be soft. Then you need to simmer for a whole hour. Choose your option and delight your loved ones with a delicious meal (or lunch).

5 minutes before cooking, you can add a piece of butter to the dish. When serving, sprinkle with fresh herbs.

Recipe for stewed cabbage in a slow cooker (cook with beef)

I wrote above how to stew cabbage with pork. Now I want to offer a recipe with beef. And we will cook in a slow cooker. This is convenient if you don’t want to stand near the stove, stirring and making sure nothing burns. It is also convenient if you need to go somewhere, take a walk with your child. Come and dinner is ready!

Ingredients:

  • beef - 0.5 kg
  • cabbage - 0.8 kg
  • onion - 1 pc. large
  • carrots - 1 pc. large
  • tomato paste - 3 tbsp.
  • hot water - 1 tbsp.
  • vegetable oil - 3 tbsp.
  • salt, spices, sugar - to taste

Preparation:

1. Let's start with the bow. It needs to be peeled and cut into cubes. Pour vegetable oil into the multicooker bowl, pour in the onions and set the “Frying” mode. Cook the onion until translucent with the lid open (this will take about 3 minutes).

2. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater and add to the onion. Stir and fry for another 5 minutes.

3. Wash the meat very well and cut into small cubes. Place in the slow cooker with the vegetables and stir. Fry everything together for another 10-15 minutes, but with the lid closed.

4.Meanwhile, chop the cabbage into small pieces.

5.Add tomato paste to the beef, add salt and stir. Now it's time to add the cabbage. Add it in portions and mix everything. Finally, pour a glass of hot water.

At this stage you can add any spices. Cumin and coriander go well with cabbage. Or you can just take complex seasoning or “tasty” salt. I also add a little sugar along with salt to compensate for the acidity of the tomato.

6.Close the lid and set the “Extinguishing” mode for 1.5 hours. Usually in this mode everything is cooked for quite a long time, at a low temperature, and simmers. If you want to speed up the process, you can cook in the “Baking” mode. But in this case, you will need to pour in not one glass of water, but three and a half, because it will actively evaporate. Time for “Baking” will be enough for 1 hour.

If you cook in an accelerated version, you will definitely need to stir the dish a couple of times. You don’t have to do this in the “Extinguishing” mode.

7.After the kitchen assistant’s signal, you can serve the finished cabbage to the table. It will sound very tasty with mashed potatoes or pasta. Help yourself and treat your loved ones!
