Light stewed cabbage with homemade stewed meat (tushonka) is a simple, quick and remarkably filling home dish that's perfect for an everyday family lunch or dinner. The main advantage is the low calorie count: cabbage is a diet-friendly vegetable on its own, while homemade tushonka is significantly more wholesome and natural than the store-bought kind — you know exactly what meat and how much fat went into it. The combination of soft cabbage with tender stewed meat makes for a hearty, rich dish without any extra calories. Finely shred fresh white cabbage, place on a hot pan, add a little water and braise covered for 15-20 minutes until soft. Add sautéed onion and carrot, the tushonka, tomato paste, salt, black pepper and bay leaf. Simmer for another 10-15 minutes to bring the flavors together. Proportions for 1 kg of cabbage inside.
