Stewed cabbage in a slow cooker - useful tips and tricks
• Cabbage will be stewed for a very long time and will remain stiff if you immediately add a tomato, regardless of whether it is ketchup, tomato or pasta. Therefore, to reduce the process, the vegetable is stewed first without spices and additional additives, and only in the second part of the preparation or at the very end they throw it all.
• Thick veins of cabbage should be removed immediately during cutting. Otherwise, tender leaves will boil, and these will remain hard for a long time.
• Cabbage will be tastier if at the end of cooking add a little vinegar and a spoonful of sugar.
