Cabbage Stewed with Apple, Celery and Tomato Paste

Even the simplest cabbage stew can be made very interesting by adding just an apple and some root celery. And if you stew it at the end with the addition of tomato flour dressing, then the cabbage will be even juicier and softer, with a pleasant sourness.
