Fresh cabbage is available almost all year round and, although we mostly eat it as a salad or as a stew, it is fried and stewed like this for an extremely tasty, healthy and economical recipe. A light dish that, prepared this way, retains almost all the nutrients of cabbage. It freezes well, which helps when you're in a rush and need a quick side dish. Cabbage is consumed more in winter, but we love it in every season. This leafy vegetable is rich in vitamin C and many other important nutrients that strengthen immunity. The glycemic index of cabbage is low, which makes it a real ally in losing weight. A traditional, simple side dish that is always welcome, spicy, and fragrant, served with natural schnitzel, sausages, hamburgers, pork chops, barbecue, meatballs, schnitzel, baked bacon. I prepared it with sausages and pork chops this time. Follow recipe. This is how I make it. Follow recipe.
Ingredients: simple, standing time: 2 h, total time: 2 h 45 min. 4 serving

Preparation:
Clean the cabbage, removing the outer, damaged leaves.
Cut it in half, remove the root, cut it into 3 parts and cut it into fine and thin strips.
Put the chopped cabbage in a large bowl, add salt and acid vinegar, then let it stand for about 2 hours.
Add sugar in a pan and fry it until it has a nice caramel color.
Now add fat or olive oil, stir several times, then add chopped cabbage and a little water and simmer until it gets a pleasant, dark color. Add the rest of the water during cooking.
At the end, add black pepper to taste, a little more sugar, vinegar, or salt and let it simmer for another 5 minutes.
Transfer the cabbage to a serving bowl.
Now you can freely prepare meat.
Preparation meat:
First, season the pork chops on both sides with salt, pepper, and dry spice Vegeta to taste. Beat with a meat mallet on both sides.
Heat the oil in a frying pan over moderate heat. Fry on both sides until golden brown. Transfer the ready-made pork chops to the plate.
Towards the end, make the sauce by adding a little water, reduce the heat, scrape the bottom of the pan quickly with a wooden spoon and make pleasant sauce, pour it over the meat.
Wipe the same pan with a kitchen towel, pour very little oil, when it is hot, add the grill sausages and cook them until they are golden brown.

NOTE:
If you like the taste of paprika, add some cabbage to taste.
You can also do this with sauerkraut, but first wash it well under a stream of cold water and do not add vinegar, add 2 spoons of sugar add salt later to taste.
Keep the rest of the food in the refrigerator, covered.
