Ingredients
- 1 medium white cabbage ( I used savoy cabbage, but the regular white one can do)
- 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoon tomato paste
- 1 teaspoon salt
- ¼ teaspoon black pepper
- 2 bay leaves
- 1 tablespoon freshly-chopped dill
Instructions
- Shred the cabbage, sprinkle salt over it and rub it with your hands. Set aside for 10 minutes.
- Meantime, heat up the oil in a large pan, and fry the onions on a low to medium heat until golden.
- Add the peppers and cabbage in batches if necessary to allow it to soften - once it's soft, it will reduce its volume.
- Keep stirring with a wooden spoon, when the cabbage is starting to soften, cover it with water and leave to cook on a medium heat until very tender.
- Season with more salt if needed, add the black pepper, tomato paste and dill and cook for a further 5 minutes.
- Serve hot with polenta and chilli peppers.
