Because white cabbage contains sulfur compounds, which become volatile when heated, the entire kitchen is filled with a smell that can hardly be called pleasant during cooking.
Fortunately, the problem can be quickly solved - there are 5 methods for this, which we strongly recommend using when stewing cabbage.
1. Add bread
If you throw a crust of stale bread into a saucepan, it will absorb unpleasant odors. The main thing is not to forget to take it out of the finished dish.
2. Wait
You can leave the shredded cabbage for 30 minutes – the juice that comes out will dry up, and the “aroma” will not be as strong.
3. Use bay leaves
Bay leaf will not only kill the smell in the air, but will also complement the taste of the dish.
4. Pour boiling water over the cabbage
After you cut the vegetable, pour boiling water over it and leave it like that for half an hour. After the specified time, you can stew the cabbage as usual.
5. Add various additives
During the stewing process, you can add other ingredients to the cabbage, for example, parsley, dill, caraway or even walnuts - they all perfectly mask the smell.
