Cabbage stewed with beans in tomato sauce recipe, how to cook

1. If you plan to use dry beans in cooking, then this is very good and much healthier than canned food. But the beans must first be boiled until tender in unsalted water. This will take you about 2 hours. Try not to overcook the legumes, otherwise they will be mushy in the dish. Once ready, rinse the beans under running water. In the same way, if there is no dry and you will use canned beans, then it also needs to be washed.

3. As in preparing any soup, in this recipe you must prepare the frying. But not separately, and not at the end, as is traditionally done. In this Lenten dish We first peel the onions and carrots and chop them. Grind the carrots on a coarse grater, and chop the onion into strips. It is advisable that the onion and cabbage slices do not differ from each other in the finished dish, then the stewed cabbage with beans will be ideal.

4. Take a deep saucepan or frying pan and simmer the onion and carrots in vegetable oil for about 5 minutes.

5. Meanwhile, finely chop the cabbage. This can be done using special knife or shredders. You can even mash the slices a little before putting them in the pan so that the cabbage releases some of its juice.

6. Place in a saucepan to stewed vegetables shredded cabbage, salt and bay leaf. At this time, you can add peppercorns. Cover with a lid and simmer the vegetables over low heat for another 7 minutes so that the cabbage releases its juice.

7. Connect tomato paste with 50 grams boiled water and sugar. Stir tomato sauce until the sugar dissolves and immediately add it to the cabbage.

8. Now you need to simmer the cabbage with the tomato and vegetables without adding beans for another 20 minutes. All this time, you need to stir the dish periodically with a wooden spatula and check that the liquid does not evaporate. If all that liquid evaporates, then you will need to add a little boiling water from the kettle.

9. After 20 minutes, add to the cabbage boiled beans, stir and simmer again until done under the lid.
This is about another 20 minutes, although the result depends on the type of vegetable. You need to try and be sure to check the moisture.

Wash the beans thoroughly, pour them into a saucepan and pour cold water. When the water boils, pour it out of the pan. Fill the ingredients with cold water again and add vegetable oil at the rate of 1 tablespoon per glass of beans. Let's cook the beans over low heat until soft. In just 30-40 minutes they will be completely ready.

    Meanwhile, prepare the vegetables. Peel a large onion, wash it and cut it into cubes. IN large frying pan or pour vegetable oil into a saucepan and pour chopped onions into it.
