If you want to stew cabbage deliciously, then you should think in advance about what additional ingredients you will introduce.
This will help to achieve an incredibly effective result.
Most often, recommendations mention tomato paste or sour cream, notes Yulia Arkhipova, an expert in the field of cooking for the online publication BelNovosti.
Yes, these are good options, but they are not the only ones.
How else can you diversify and improve the taste of a dish?
If you are cooking cabbage with meat ingredients
It doesn't matter what kind of meat you decide to use. This method will work for both sausages and smoked meats. It involves adding a small amount of sauerkraut.
This will transform the taste of the dish.
Sweet pepper with a "secret"
If you like original solutions, then this option will definitely suit you. It is recommended to add one small chopped bell pepper.
The "secret ingredient" will be apple cider vinegar. A small spoon will be enough.
Oil
If you want to achieve depth of flavor and amazing tenderness, then you should add regular butter. It is added about 30 seconds before turning off the heat.
Afterwards, you can keep the dish under the lid for a while.
