Delicious cabbage dishes: what to cook

Of course, cabbage is considered one of the most useful and, most importantly, inexpensive vegetables.

There are many options for preparing dishes from this vitamin-rich vegetable, and every cook has his own secrets.

Fresh cabbage can be used to make various quick salads, it can be used to make amazingly tasty canned salads for the winter, or it can be used as a side dish or filling for pies, says Yulia Arkhipova .

It is not necessary to just fry or stew cabbage leaves. There are many recipes for which the cabbage must first be boiled.

Young cabbage fried with eggs

To prepare this dish, it is better to take young, summer cabbage varieties.

They differ from later varieties in that their leaves are thinner, and the stalk is not hard and can also be eaten, which significantly reduces the amount of “waste” when preparing a particular dish.

Based on three to four servings for a large family, we will need:
• A medium-sized head of young cabbage.
• Four or six eggs.
• Milk.
• Butter or any other oil suitable for frying.
• Spicy greens.

The head of cabbage should be divided into four parts and carefully disassembled into leaves. Place the leaves in a large pot with water, add enough salt and put it to boil.

After boiling, the cabbage needs to be cooked for another twenty or thirty minutes. It all depends on the taste preferences of the cook and his family members. If you cook the cabbage a little less, it will be a little damp and crispy.

After cooking, the leaves should be removed from the water and dried in the open air for several minutes. To speed up the drying process, excess water can be blotted with a towel or paper napkins.

Next, we proceed with the dried sheets as follows:
• Heat vegetable oil in a frying pan or melt a sufficient amount of butter.
• Place the sheets on a hot surface and let them fry well until a crispy crust appears in some places.
• Break the eggs into a bowl, add a couple of spoons of milk and stir as for an omelette.
• Pour the egg and milk mixture over the well-fried cabbage leaves.
• Fry the cabbage with the mixture poured into it until the desired result is achieved: you can fry until a crust forms.

Adviсe

If the cabbage leaves are slightly undersalted during cooking, the problem can be solved by adding salt to the sauce mixture.

The most delicious cabbage is fried in butter. It is this butter that gives the effect of a tasty "crust".

If the cabbage stalk is hard, you can "beat" it with a kitchen hammer before cooking. And to make the task easier, you can just carefully cut out the stalks and remove them. Hard parts of the cabbage will not become soft when fried and will only spoil the impression of the dish.

The finished dish can be sprinkled with crushed black or allspice and various aromatic herbs.

Cabbage fried in eggs can be eaten both as a separate dish and as a side dish to meat dishes.
