If you want to feed your family tasty, satisfying and healthy, braised cabbage with minced meat is ideal. In addition, it will take very little time and effort to cook, and the products that are needed are affordable and inexpensive. It is possible that the food will be so liked by homemade people that they will want to see it on the table for breakfast, lunch or dinner every day.

Classic way: fast and appetizing

You can not be shy and use minced meat from any meat that is in the refrigerator: beef, poultry, rabbits or pork. In any case, it will be great. And if you add the traditional recipe with aromatic spices, it will surprise you with new subtle shades of taste and smell.

Here's what you have to stock up to treat your family with stewed cabbage and minced meat for lunch:

  • 0.8 kg of white cabbage;
  • one carrot;
  • onion;
  • paprika;
  • ground black pepper and salt (a little bit);
  • sunflower oil.

In order for everything to work out, we proceed according to such a step-by-step plan:

  1. We wash the carrots, scrape the skin with a knife or a special grater, make it like a straw with a sharp knife.
  2. Onion, free from husks, cut into half rings.
  3. We put a frying pan (preferably deep) on the stove, pour vegetable oil into it, into which carrots and onions go. We fry for about three minutes.
  4. At this time, we make small straws from cabbage.
  5. Three minutes have elapsed, which means we send minced meat to the vegetables in the pan. Stir and wait about five minutes until it brightens.
  6. It was the turn of seasonings and salt. Add all this to our pan and mix.
  7. Finally, pour the prepared cabbage.
  8. Mix the food again (well, if there is a wooden spatula).
  9. Cover, reduce heat and simmer for about ten minutes.

You can remove from the stove and put the dish on the table.

Another sophisticated version of the classic suggests that dried chili peppers, water, caraway seeds, vinegar and tomato paste will also be used.

On a note! Cabbage should be hard winter varieties: early cabbage will quickly turn into jelly, and food will lose its appearance and taste.

Add rice to the minced meat.

 

It will turn out much more satisfying, and at lunch it will even be possible to do without the liquid - soup or borsch.

For this recipe in the kitchen should find:

  • a small, up to a kilogram weight, head of a white squirrel;
  • one onion and one carrot;
  • 0.5 cups of round grain rice;
  • 400 - 500 g of chicken minced meat;
  • salt and ground black pepper;
  • litere of water;
  • olive oil.

Prepare a delicate diet.

  1. Grind vegetables: chop the cabbage, three carrots on a grater, onion with a finely chopped knife.
  2. We light the tile, put a deep frying pan on the burner, pour oil.
  3. Pour onion, stir and wait until it becomes transparent-golden.
  4. The next step is to take the minced meat, add salt, season, cover them with onion and fry until it is ready.
  5. After the meat, carrots are in line. We mix it with the rest of the components and continue frying for another seven to ten minutes.
  6. While time passes, in a separate saucepan (if there is a second pan, then in it) we put cabbage. Fill with water with a "head". Pour rice on top, the last layer is ready-made meat.
  7. We cover the container with a lid, make the fire slightly weaker than average and leave it to simmer for an hour.

Time is up, the aroma magnet draws to the stove. Remove the finished lunch - stewed cabbage with minced meat in a frying pan, mix the ingredients and arrange on plates.
