Cabbage in the duck house

The most delicious stewed cabbage is obtained in a duck house. It takes about an hour to cook cabbage in this way. In this recipe, for a more expressive taste, pickle from cucumbers is added to cabbage during stewing. Marinade from tomatoes or other canned vegetables or tomato juice is also suitable. Sauerkraut turns out to be very tasty when stewing. In this case, we take fresh cabbage, so we will need brine.
First we will prepare all the products: we chop the peeled onions and carrots – three carrots on a coarse grater, cut the onion into small cubes, chop the cabbage.
Next, heat the vegetable oil over high heat in the duck house and put onions and carrots in it. Fry for a short time on high heat, stirring.
As soon as the onion becomes transparent, add salt, pepper, bay leaf, then put the chopped cabbage in the duck house, mix and pour brine or marinade.
We wait a little longer for the brine to boil, then reduce the heat to a minimum, cover the duck house with a lid and simmer the cabbage in the duck house for 50 minutes. During extinguishing, do not lift the lid, the cabbage should be steamed well. On low heat, it will not burn, since there is enough liquid, and the lid fits tightly enough.
Cabbage stewed in a duck house is served on the table as an independent hot dish. She can replace the salad in a chilled form. And such cabbage can also be used as a filling for pies.
