Stewed cabbage with chicken and rice

Stewed cabbage with chicken and rice

Category: Meat dishes

Ingredients
Skinless chicken or turkey or rabbit	1-1.5 kg
Cabbage	1-1.5 kg
Carrot	1 PC
Onion	1 PC
Rice	100 g
Water or chicken broth	1 st
Tomato paste	2 tsp
Bay leaf	1-2 pcs
Greens optional

Cooking method

• It is better to take a large pot right away, because cabbage is always cramped at the beginning, I have a 5-liter one.
• Pour refined vegetable oil into a saucepan to cover the bottom. Chop the onion at random and lightly sauté it over low heat.
• Then add grated or thinly chopped carrots to the onion, stir and fry slightly.
• Arrange the boneless chicken pieces. The pieces should not be too large so that they can be conveniently mixed later.
• Mix everything well and lightly fry, simmer under a lid over low heat for about 15 minutes, until the meat grasps and turns white, mix several times so that it does not burn. Salt the meat to taste and add water or broth.
• Put all the chopped cabbage and cover with a lid. Leave to simmer over medium heat for about 20 minutes, until the cabbage settles and gives juice.
• After the cabbage has settled, mix everything.
• Add tomato paste, bay leaf, crush the cabbage until juice appears.
• If the cabbage has become semi-soft, then you can spread the rice on top with a thin layer, leveling it with a spoon over the surface. If the cabbage is still coarse enough, let it simmer for another 10 minutes and then put the rice, trying to cover it with juice. If the juice suddenly turned out to be very little, then you can add a little water.
• Cover, reduce heat and simmer covered for 15 minutes until rice is half cooked. Then stir the dish.
• Add your favorite herbs to taste, I have parsley with dill, add salt if necessary.
• Tamp it a little and let it sweat for 15 - 20 minutes, without interfering.
• Mix. And you can eat. The dish should not come out liquid.
• If you let the dish steep for a day, then it becomes even tastier.

Note

Children love such cabbage very much, only for them I would remove the bones from the chicken before cooking !!!

Tanechka, thanks for the recipe!
Here is a dish from some distant childhood. Thank you very much, I can already imagine that such a cabbage is simply delicious! I will definitely cook it.
Thank you, Tanya!

Rituslya, Ritochka, be sure to try, I hope the dish will not disappoint. I cooked it many times and mine swept away a large pot in two days. The dish turns out to be very tender, light and tasty, and if you do not overdo it with butter, then it is also dietary. If there is nothing about tomato paste at all, then you can exclude it, it has no big role in this dish.

Tanyusha, the cabbage is very tasty and beautiful. Thank you. Tanyusha, will it be delicious without meat? I want something without meat, summer. And instead of tomato paste, can Krasnodar sauce? Oh, how many questions. Thank you in advance.

ninza, Ninochka, you can, of course, without meat, then at least on chicken broth or on a broth cube, otherwise where the cabbage will take its flavor from, it is not even fried, but stewed. Although the meat here is completely dietary, since we remove the skin from the chicken and, in the end result, the dish is quite light for the stomach, I eat it even on a diet. Tomato paste can be completely eliminated or replaced with your favorite sauce, I often add my own ketchup and paprika to boot, but the peasants need it a little bit more.

Paprika: a mixture of hot pepper with sweet 1: 1 I have been harvesting since autumn.

In general, if you take some kind of fragrant broth, then you can go without meat. I wrote a lot, but I don't know if everything is clear, if that ask.

Tanya, dear understood everything. I thought what could be done with a turkey.

I thought what could be done with a turkey.

That's right and take the meat in half less, the flavor will not be so hard for the cabbage and for the stomach.

Tanya, everything is correct. So I will do it.

thank you, delicious dish)))

Tatyana1103, Tatyana, thank you for reminding. I often cooked such cabbage with rice (with or without chicken) in the hungry 90s, the dish was very helpful.

Ilmirochka, you had good 90s, but mine are still eating this dish quite well, and I myself also like it.

I also love kapuska with rice! And with meat or without meat - it doesn't matter.

[Tatyana1103]

Simple, tasty and healthy! And why did I not think of this myself)) I had 1 kg of chicken and, accordingly, cabbage - everything fit in a 28cm frying pan. Tatyana1103, Tatyana, I will cook like that now, thanks!
