Savory - Sweet Cabbage Dish by Octaviana N. - Recipia

To prepare a delicious sautéed cabbage with tomato sauce, we start by preparing the essential ingredients. We take a fresh cabbage and finely chop it into thin strips for even cooking. We also clean a few bell peppers, preferably sweet peppers, which we chop into small cubes. These vegetables will form the base of our recipe and will add a wonderful flavor to the dish. In a large pot, we place the chopped cabbage and bell pepper, adding enough water to cover the vegetables. It is important to add salt to taste to enhance the flavors. We cover the pot with a lid and let the mixture simmer over medium heat for about 15 minutes. We will check the consistency of the cabbage; it should become soft but not overcooked, in order to maintain its shape and texture. After the cabbage has softened, we add freshly chopped dill. This will add a pleasant aroma and a note of freshness to the dish. In another container, we prepare a roux from 3-4 tablespoons of oil and 2 tablespoons of flour, mixing them well to avoid lumps. We add a few crushed garlic cloves, the amount depending on individual preferences. The garlic will bring an extra flavor. Once the roux is ready, we pour tomato juice over it, mixing well to combine the flavors. This sauce will significantly enrich the taste of the dish. We pour the roux over the cabbage in the pot and carefully mix, ensuring that the vegetables are well coated with the sauce and avoiding lumps. Finally, we add freshly ground pepper and a tablespoon of sour cream to add creaminess to the sauce. We let everything simmer together for another 10 minutes so that the flavors combine perfectly. If you prefer a simpler version, you can omit the roux and add the oil directly over the cabbage, mixing the flour with the tomato juice. For an extra flavor boost, I recommend adding a teaspoon of sugar, which will balance the acidity of the tomato juice, providing a balanced taste. This dish is served warm, alongside a side of polenta or fresh bread, to savor every bite. Enjoy your meal!
