Cabbage stewed with mushrooms in tomato sauce
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. Cabbage is a very versatile and healthy vegetable, but eating it raw can be difficult (or unappetizing) for many. Braised cabbage with mushrooms is an excellent way to not only diversify your everyday meals, but also to enjoy a nutritious, light, yet satisfying dish. It takes no more than one hour to prepare. This cabbage can be served as a side dish to any main course. Moreover, try making fried eggs for breakfast and serve them together with the braised cabbage. The dish is now ready to be served.

Step 5
5. I chose button mushrooms, but you can use oyster mushrooms instead—they cook quickly too. I peel the button mushrooms and then slice them lengthwise into slabs. If you prefer a finer chop, feel free. The cutting method doesn't affect the taste of the finished dish.

6. Fry mushrooms in vegetable oil for no more than 7 minutes. Don't forget to stir them constantly. Cook the mushrooms until golden brown.
