Stewed Cabbage with Smoked Meat Instructions

  1. Wash the cabbage, remove the top leaves, as they are often dirty, and chop finely. Then pour oil into the pan and heat it well, then send the cabbage to fry. Electrical appliances, if available, will help you speed up the process of cutting vegetables. For example, I use a food processor.
  2. Cook the cabbage for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.

  3. In the meantime, peel the carrots and cut them into thin strips, or grate. But it is better to cut it, then it will be whole and its taste will not be lost in the dish. Wash the red bell pepper, cut off the tail, remove the seeds, and cut the pulp into strips. Send carrots and peppers to the frying pan to fry the cabbage.
