To prepare a delicious cabbage with meat, we start by preparing the essential ingredients. The first step is to cut the cabbage into thin strips and boil it in a large pot of water. It is important to boil it until it becomes slightly soft, but not completely, as it will continue to cook with the other ingredients. After about 10-15 minutes of boiling, it's time to drain the cabbage and set it aside to cool slightly. Meanwhile, we take care of the other vegetables. We peel a large onion, which we chop finely. In a deep pan, we heat a few tablespoons of oil. Once the oil is hot, we add the onion and sauté it lightly until it becomes translucent. Its golden color will add a savory flavor to our dish. Then, we peel the celery stalk and cut it into small cubes, adding it over the onion. The carrots, peeled and cut into rounds or cubes, also join in, bringing extra sweetness and texture. We mix all the vegetables well, adding salt and pepper to taste. It is important to let them sauté together for a few minutes so that the flavors blend. Once the vegetables are lightly browned, we add the drained cabbage and mix everything to combine the ingredients. Here comes the secret to a tasty dish: we add a glass of water to help with the boiling. We let the mixture simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally and ensuring it doesn’t stick to the bottom of the pan. In the meantime, we can take care of the meat we will add. Meanwhile, we cut a few smoked sausages into slices and fry them in a separate pan. Once the meat is browned, we add a few cubes of smoked ham, which will add a rich and savory flavor. After a few minutes, when the meat is well cooked, we set it aside and reserve it. Returning to the cabbage with vegetables, we now add the fried meat, bay leaves, and a few sprigs of fresh thyme. We let everything simmer on low heat, stirring occasionally and adding water if necessary, until all the ingredients are soft and the flavors are well integrated. It is important to ensure that in the end, the cabbage does not have excess water but remains slightly moist and full of flavor. Before serving, we taste the dish and adjust the salt and pepper if necessary. This cabbage with meat is a comforting dish, perfect for cooler days. It is served warm, alongside a slice of fresh bread or polenta. Enjoy your meal!
