Ingredients

Large onion	1 PC.
Large carrots	1 PC.
Sausages	5-6 pcs.
Heinz ketchup (classic)	3-4 tbsp. l.
Bay leaf	2-3 pcs.
Vegetable oil
Salt pepper	taste

Cooking method

Tableware:
one large thick-walled skillet
one small frying pan
1. Cut the cabbage as you like (I prefer thin strips 3-5 cm long). Pour 2-3 tablespoons of oil into a large frying pan, put the cabbage on them, put on medium heat (on my stove there are 12 positions, I put on 7 or. If the cabbage is hard, add 3-5 tablespoons of boiled water. Be sure to cover the pan with a lid. !
2. While the cabbage is stewing:
chop the onion, put it in a small frying pan, drizzled with vegetable oil. Saute the onions until they are dark golden (the position of the burner is. While the onions are being sauteed, cut the carrots. Add to the onions, stir. Cover the small frying pan with a lid, reduce the heat to 6-7. The photo shows the degree of roasting of the onions, the carrots have just been added.
3.! Stir the cabbage in a large skillet! Mix thoroughly, especially if there is a lot of cabbage.
4. Cut the sausages.
5. Check if the frying is ready. The carrots should become more or less soft, in appearance as if slightly boiled.
6.! Stir the cabbage in a large skillet! The cabbage may even brown slightly, this is normal. As practice has shown, it is even tastier (well, of course, if not to coals))). You can add more water or oil, or just stir more often.
7. Add ketchup to the frying. You should get such a thick porridge. About ketchup and its replacement with tomato paste with spices or another kind of sauce. I've tried it many times. I can say with confidence that nothing goes better than Heinz. Today I added canned and chopped Italian tomatoes (there was not enough ketchup). Not bad, but wrong color. Along with the ketchup, add salt (about half a teaspoon) and pepper (since my daughter does not like spicy, I put very little of it, the taste does not suffer). If it is not salted enough, then you can add more salt to the ready-made hodgepodge.
Stir the whole thing well, increase the heat to 8-9 and let it boil properly. In this period, most of the vinegar, which is part of the ketchup, evaporates, and the tomato reveals its full taste. I love it when I get a small tomato crust. at the bottom. It usually takes me 5 minutes
8. Check if the cabbage is ready. It should already be soft, something like this:
9. Put frying and sausages in cabbage, mix. You may not even be very careful, it looks like this:
Reduce the heat to 6, add the bay leaf, sinking it into the cabbage.
Note for multicooker owners. I tried to cook it in a cartoon, but I still need a second pan. First, I fried cabbage in baking for about 20 minutes, stirring quite often. Then, after adding frying, simmer for 1-1.5 hours. It turns out quite tasty, but longer than on the stove.

Note

I take out one of my favorite all seasonal recipes for review)))
It is unlikely that I will be original, but everything written has been checked a hundred times, no less))). If someone wants to share in this thread and his recipe - Welkam

(in the photo she is a little pale, I explain why above)

And now you can safely drink tea or lie on the couch.It doesn't hurt to stir once, but it's quick and not very distracting))))
Well, after 20 minutes (or, if you have enough patience, after 25) we get what is shown in the photo at the beginning of the post.
Yes, if there is such an opportunity, it is better to let the hodgepodge reach. That is, move it out of the comfort zone and leave it for 40 minutes. Having cooled down to a warm state, it tastes better than just cooked.
