Meat-free vegetable stew with potatoes and cabbage

Step-by-step cooking

1. Step 1:

   

   How to make a vegetable stew without meat with potatoes and cabbage? The photo shows the vegetables that we will need to prepare a delicious stew.

2. Step 2:

   

   Prepare all the products first. Peel potatoes, onions, garlic and carrots and rinse well in clean water. Rinse tomatoes, bay leaf greens and cabbage under running water.

3. Step 3:

   

   Chop the onion into thin half-rings or small strips. Grate the carrot on a grater with a large carving.

4. Step 4:

   

   Better cut the potatoes into medium-sized cubes. Why average? If you leave the potatoes large, it is possible that the cooking time of potatoes and cabbage will not coincide and there is a risk that the cabbage will turn into porridge. However, if you are not using a young kachan, then the potatoes can be cut larger, since in this case the cabbage will cook a little longer.

5. Step 5:

   

   Cut tomatoes into small cubes. You can, if desired, pre-peel the tomatoes. To do this, you need to pour boiling water over the tomatoes, leave for a couple of minutes, then drain the water and remove the skin without much difficulty.

6. Step 6:

   

   Send the frying pan with vegetable oil to a high heat. When the oil is hot, add the onion and carrot. Stirring occasionally, fry the vegetables for about two to three minutes, until the onion becomes slightly transparent.

8. Step 7:

   

   Send the tomatoes to roast, stir, reduce the heat slightly and simmer all together for about 5 minutes.

9. Step 8:

   

   At this time we will do cabbage. It can be cut into squares, or chopped into small strips. Do as you like.

10. Step 9:

    

    Add the potatoes to the pan.

11. Step 10:

    

    Then send the chopped cabbage. Add salt and your favorite spices to taste. Mix everything carefully and leave to simmer under a closed lid for 20 to 30 minutes on low heat. After five minutes, open the lid slightly and check if there is enough liquid from tomatoes and cabbage in the pan. If not, then add quite a bit of water (50-60 grams will be enough), mix everything again and continue cooking under the lid.

12. Step 11:

    

    Periodically open the lid and stir the stew, at the same time check whether the potatoes and cabbage are burning. A few minutes before cooking, add the bay leaf if desired. At the end of cooking, send chopped herbs and finely chopped garlic to the stew. Mix everything and remove the pan from the heat.
