Cooking method

• It is not always possible to use meat when stewing cabbage.
• In this recipe, I tried to show how you can replace it with minced meat pieces. The dish will cook faster, but it will be no less tasty and satisfying.
• I offer 2 options. Option 1 is good if the cabbage is not too sour. Option 2 can be used when the cabbage is already acidified. After stewing, it will be even more sour, so I add fresh one.
• Frying at the end of cooking not only improves the taste of the dish, but also gives the cabbage a beautiful ruddy color.
• Try and compare.
• Cooking.
• Option - 1. (For not too sour cabbage.)
• Put a layer of frozen minced meat on a board. Sprinkle with seasoning. Let sit for 5-10 minutes and cut into 2x2 cm cubes
• 
• Turn on "Frying" mode, pressure - 3, pour 2 tbsp into a saucepan. l. oils. Fry the minced meat cubes until golden brown (this will prevent the minced meat from falling apart after stewing). Season with salt (0.5 tsp). Roasting takes about 2-3 minutes.

Gulya, to your health!
Thank you for your attention to this simple yet delicious dish.

Here I will make either silver carp herrings, or namarin cabbage, or else I will not attach stickers. Again you need to dispose of food deliciously and again I will come to you
Marinated cabbage with beets, poured hot marinade, a couple of months ago, half a bottle left, can I make it according to this recipe, give me advice, only I have it cut into pieces, 3 * 4, what do you think it will work out？ Thank you in advance

Lena, difficult tasks you have to solve.
As far as I understand, you have Georgian cabbage? Have beet slices added to it? Ideally, such a cabbage would go well with cabbage soup or borscht. Cut the beets into cubes and cook according to your favorite recipe.
And if stewing according to this recipe, then I would choose option 2, with the addition of fresh cabbage and carrots. The sauerkraut would be drained (it may be necessary to rinse it), cut with the usual strips for stewing and then act according to the recipe.
Such is the disposal plan.
