Cabbage Stewed with Meat, Mushrooms and quince

Cabbage stewed with meat, mushrooms, and quince is a very aromatic and delicious homemade dish. Quince is a rather unexpected component in this dish, but believe me, it is very harmoniously combined with all the ingredients, adds juiciness, and gives an extraordinary aroma.
