Only pure taste!

Any budget dish can be made even more satisfying (and tasty) by adding potatoes to it. If you stew cabbage like this, you will get a real vegetable stew.
Required ingredients:
- 0.5 kg of fresh white cabbage;
- a can of canned beans (without tomato filling);
- 3 medium potatoes;
- medium carrot;
- medium onion head;
- Art. spoon with tomato paste on top;
- refined vegetable oil for frying;
- salt, black pepper.
Cooking time: about 40 minutes.
Calorie content: approximately 90 Kcal/100 g.
First you need to finely chop the onion and saute it in a frying pan with oil. Then send carrots cut into strips and fry everything together. Next comes potatoes cut into small pieces, with which the vegetables need to be fried for a few more minutes.
The next bookmark is cabbage cut into squares. At this stage, you need to close the pan with a lid and simmer the vegetables in this way for 5 minutes.
Then all that remains is to add beans (directly along with the liquid from the jar), tomato paste, spices and simmer everything together for another 10 minutes. The dish will be tasty and cold.
Cooking
First of all, you need to cook the beans. To do this, it is soaked in the evening (or at least 2 hours in advance), then placed in a “multi”, filled with water and cooked on “Stew” for exactly an hour.
If the beans are not cooked enough (for example, they were very dry at the end of winter), then this is not a problem. Although, in general, this time should be enough for the soaked beans to not just cook, but soften.
Along with the beans, you need to soak dried mushrooms in hot water.
After cooking, you need to remove the beans until time is up, wash the bowl, pour oil into it, and fry finely chopped mushrooms in it for 5 minutes. You need to use the “Frying” mode, set the time to about 15-20 minutes.
While the mushrooms are frying, you need to chop the cabbage as finely as possible and add it to the slow cooker. Add soy sauce to it, as well as 1/2 cup of water.
Switch the multicooker to the “Stew” mode.
After 20-30 minutes of cooking, you can add beans and chopped herbs. And at the same time, taste the cabbage for salt - maybe it needs more salt.
After another 10-15 minutes, you can turn off the multicooker - the dish is ready. Or, if you don’t have time, you can “allow” it to cook longer (if you have the “Stewing” mode automatically set for only 1 hour and no less). The cabbage will not burn, it will only become softer and more tender.

Tips from experienced cooks
It would seem that stewed cabbage is a very simple dish, in the preparation of which there is no room for any tricks. However, this is not the case, and you even need to be able to stew cabbage.
- If young cabbage is cooked, then 13-15 minutes will be enough for it, while its winter varieties require at least 35-40 minutes of heat treatment in general;
- Cabbage can also be stewed in the oven if you set the temperature to 160 degrees so that boiling in the pan is minimal. But the cooking time will take the same;
- There is no point in trying to stew the cabbage for longer, because even if it does become softer, it will lose not only all its beneficial qualities, but even its taste;
- If the vegetables in the dish give off little juice, you can add a little boiled water;
- You can give the dish a special sweet and sour flavor by adding a teaspoon of sugar and vinegar a few minutes before the end or adding a little sauerkraut;
- If you have unrefined sunflower oil at home, it is better to cook cabbage in it - this way the dish will turn out indescribably aromatic and tasty “country-style”;
- To increase the calorie content and nutritional value of the dish, you can add meat broth rather than water to the stewed cabbage. This will have a positive effect on its taste;
- Beans canned in original tomato sauces - for example, barbecue sauce, adjika, sauce with vegetables, etc. can give a dish a special taste.

How to cook stewed cabbage with white beans
Rinse white or red beans under running water. 5-8 hours before preparing the dish, pour cold water over the beans; it is most convenient to do this in the evening and leave overnight. Thanks to soaking, the beans will cook much faster and will taste more tender.
In the morning, drain the liquid, add fresh water, and cook the beans over high heat. As soon as the water boils, reduce the heat and cook until soft, about 1-1.5 hours. Cooking time depends on the type and size of the beans. When the beans are soft, transfer them from the pan to a colander to cool and drain off any excess water.
Rinse the cabbage head and remove damaged top leaves. Divide into manageable pieces and chop into strips. Lightly salt and press with your hands so that the cabbage releases its juice and becomes a little softer.
Heat a frying pan or casserole with a thick bottom where you will stew the vegetables. Add a little vegetable oil and let it warm up slightly. Transfer the chopped cabbage and cover with a lid. Simmer over low heat for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
During this time, peel the carrots, wash them, and grate them on a medium grater. Add to cabbage and stir. If you don't have a grater, cut the carrots into thin strips or small cubes. Simmer over low heat for 25-30 minutes, sometimes adding a little water so that the cabbage does not burn.
When the vegetables acquire a golden color and become softer, add salt and spices. Stir and continue to simmer with the lid closed for 5-10 minutes.
Place the beans into the cabbage, mix everything again, and continue to simmer for 7-10 minutes.
Wash, dry and finely chop the greens. Sprinkle the finished dish and turn off the heat.
Delicious stewed cabbage with beans in a frying pan is ready. Bon appetit!
