Ingredients
- 1 small cabbage (about 1 kg)

- 2 tablespoons of olive oil
- Iodized salt, to taste
- Freshly ground pepper, to taste

Nutritional benefits
Cabbage is a vegetable with very low caloric content, having about 25 calories per 100 grams. It is rich in vitamin C, vitamin K, and fiber, playing an important role in maintaining digestive health. It is also recognized for its detoxifying and anticancer properties, being a true natural pharmacy.
Step 1: Preparing the ingredients
Start by peeling the onion, bell pepper, and carrot. Cut the onion and bell pepper into small cubes, and the carrot into thin rounds. It is essential that the vegetables are cut evenly for even cooking.
Step 2: Heating the Zepter Pot
Place the Zepter Pot on low heat and add the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Wait a few minutes until the oil heats up. You should not add water, as cooking in this special pot allows the natural moisture of the ingredients to be preserved.
Step 3: Sautéing the vegetables
Add the onion and bell pepper to the Zepter Pot and cover it. Let them sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent. Check the temperature indicator; it should reach the green zone, indicating that the vegetables have started to cook perfectly.
Step 4: Adding the cabbage
Once the onion and bell pepper are ready, lift the lid and add the shredded cabbage (you can use a knife or a grater to cut it). This step is essential, as the cabbage will reduce in volume as it cooks.
Step 5: Seasoning
Add salt, freshly ground pepper, and finely chopped dill, then mix well. Cover the pot again and let the cabbage cook over medium heat for about 15 minutes. The temperature indicator should reach the last part of the green zone.
Step 6: Finishing the dish
When the time is up, turn off the heat but keep the pot covered for about 30 minutes. The residual heat will continue to cook the cabbage, making it soft and delicious. This trick is essential for achieving perfectly sautéed cabbage.
Serving
Sautéed cabbage can be served alone as a vegetarian dish or as a side dish alongside country sausages or other meat dishes. Offering a generous portion of boiled sausages to your guests will turn the meal into a tasty experience. Add a slice of fresh bread to complete the meals.
Recipe variations
To personalize this recipe, you can add other vegetables, such as carrots or celery, or incorporate spices like paprika or cumin. You can also try adding some diced potatoes to make the dish more substantial.
