3. Place the skillet over medium heat, pour vegetable oil on top, cover the cabbage with a lid, and fry for about 10 minutes. Now add spices, thoroughly mix the cabbage, taste for salt and add more if needed. The mixture should be uniformly red! Reduce the heat to low and simmer the cabbage until fully cooked for another 15 minutes, stirring occasionally. Make sure the dish doesn't burn!

4. As soon as the cabbage becomes tender (but not falling apart!) and all the moisture has evaporated, the dish is ready. It goes very well with buckwheat porridge during Lent. The cabbage will make an excellent side dish for meat or cutlets.
