Salad - Cabbage with Vegetables - Multicooker by Milena M. - Recipia

Cabbage with vegetables in a multicooker is a simple dish made solely from vegetables, perfect for days when you want to cook without standing constantly by the stove. The vegetables are sautéed first, then the cabbage is cooked in the pot with a little water and spices. The multicooker is especially handy in warm weather, but the recipe can also be easily made on the stove or in the oven. Quick Info Preparation time: not specified; the vegetables are prepared while being sautéed. Cooking time: the Fry function is set to 15 minutes. The duration of the Stew program is not specified and depends on the appliance used and how quickly the cabbage softens. Servings: not specified; the quantity is suitable for several servings. Difficulty: easy. Recipe type: vegetable dish, vegetarian, suitable for lunch or dinner. Ingredients 1 medium cabbage 2 large carrots 1 parsnip 2 onions 2 green onions 2 ripe tomatoes 1 green or yellow bell pepper 1 teaspoon salt 1/2 teaspoon ground pepper 1 teaspoon dried thyme 1 teaspoon dried dill 1/2 cup water 2-3 tablespoons oil For the version with broth, the tomatoes can be replaced with 1/2 cup of broth. In this case, do not add water. Preparation method 1. Wash all the vegetables well. Peel the onion, carrots, and parsnip, then wash them. The tomatoes are peeled before being chopped. 2. Chop the onion and green onion finely. Cut the carrots and parsnip into small cubes, and chop the bell pepper. The peeled tomatoes are also diced. 3. Pour 2-3 tablespoons of oil into the multicooker pot. Start the Fry function and set the time to 15 minutes. 4. Add the onion and bell pepper to the pot and sauté. Then add the diced carrots and parsnip. The vegetables cook together, and this order helps the onion and bell pepper soften before adding the cabbage. 5. Add the peeled and diced tomatoes. 6. Meanwhile, chop the cabbage. You don’t need to wait for it to be fully chopped: you can add portions to the pot gradually as you chop. This way, the cabbage starts to soften and fits more easily in the pot. 7. Add the salt, pepper, dried thyme, and dried dill. Pour in 1/2 cup of water and mix all the ingredients well. 8. Close the multicooker lid and start the Stew function. Let the dish cook until the cabbage is tender. Since the duration of the program is not mentioned, check the texture of the cabbage towards the end of cooking. 9. Serve the cabbage plain or with sour cream. On the stove, the preparation is almost identical. The vegetables are sautéed in a pot, then the cabbage, spices, and water are added, and the dish is left to simmer. It’s good to stir occasionally until the cabbage is cooked. Another option is baking in the oven, without changing the ingredients or basic preparation method. Why I make the recipe often It’s an easy dish to prepare from common vegetables and doesn’t require constant supervision when made in a multicooker. Additionally, the amount of cabbage decreases as it cooks, so the vegetables can be added gradually even if they initially seem to fill the pot. The taste can be easily adjusted by the amount of salt, pepper, thyme, and dill. I usually serve it plain, but sour cream changes its texture and makes it creamier. Tips and variations Tips Choose a cabbage that is the right size and chop it as evenly as possible, so the pieces cook approximately at the same time. If you chop the cabbage before starting the sautéing, you can add it in several batches without waiting for all the vegetables to be ready. The tomatoes must be peeled before being added to the pot. If they are well-ripened, they will blend easily with the other vegetables during cooking. The amount of water is small because the cabbage and tomatoes release liquid. Follow the proportions in the recipe; if the dish is made with broth, omit the water. There’s no need to add all the cabbage at once. This is especially useful when the pot is full at the beginning. Add a portion, stir when it softens, and continue with the rest. Substitutions The two ripe tomatoes can be replaced with 1/2 cup of broth. In this version, do not use the 1/2 cup of water. The bell pepper can be green or yellow, depending on what you have on hand. Both options adhere to the recipe. Variations The basic recipe remains a dish made only from vegetables. You can change the ratio between carrot, parsnip, and cabbage depending on the amount available, but the taste and texture will be influenced by these changes. If you prefer a more flavorful dish, keep the combination of dried thyme and dill from the recipe. The spices are added after the cabbage has been placed in the pot, along with the salt, pepper, and water. Serving ideas Cabbage can be served plain, immediately after cooking. For a creamier texture, add sour cream to the plate, not to the entire pot, especially if you want to save some for later. It is suitable as a main vegetable dish or as a side, depending on the meal you are serving it with. Frequently asked questions Can cabbage with vegetables be made without a multicooker? Yes. The vegetables are sautéed in a pot on the stove, then the cabbage, spices, and water are added. The dish is simmered until the cabbage softens, stirring occasionally. Can I use broth instead of tomatoes? Yes. Replace the two tomatoes with 1/2 cup of broth. Do not add the water specified in the recipe, as the broth provides the necessary liquid. When do I add the cabbage to the multicooker? The cabbage is added gradually as it is chopped. You do not need to wait for it to be fully prepared before putting the first portion in the pot. How long does it cook on the Stew function? The source of the recipe does not specify the duration of the Stew program. Let the cabbage cook until it becomes tender and check the dish towards the end of the program. What can it be served with? It can be served plain or with sour cream. The sour cream is added directly to the plate, according to preference. Nutritional values The values below are estimates and may vary depending on the size of the cabbage, the exact amount of oil, the type of sour cream, and the number of servings. The calculation is indicative for four servings and does not include sour cream. One serving has approximately: 180-220 kcal 5-6 g protein 25-30 g carbohydrates 8-10 g fats 8-10 g fiber Most of the calories come from oil, while the vegetables provide fiber, carbohydrates, and a moderate amount of protein. If you use 2 tablespoons of oil instead of 3, the energy value of the serving will be slightly lower. Adding sour cream increases the number of calories and the amount of fat, depending on the variety chosen and the quantity used. Storage and reheating After cooling, the cabbage is stored in the refrigerator in a closed container. It is suitable for consumption the next day, and the flavors blend as it sits. Reheat only the necessary amount, on the stove or in the multicooker, until it is well heated. If it seems too dry, stir before reheating and check the texture. It is better to add sour cream at serving, not before storage.
