Cabbage - the dish is delicious, hearty and nutritious, perfectly suitable for both the table of ceremonial and ritual events and celebrations, and for the everyday family menu, but ... somewhat troublesome to prepare.
As you think about the fact that you need to first prepare the filling (and this is a few operations: clean, grind, fry), then take out cabbage head for leaves, steam them in boiling water, then fold the leaves of cabbage leaves, and then gently lay them in a pan, pour hot water and cook until done.
And ready-made cabbage rolls, for the preparation of which cabbage leaves were used (in contrast to those for which grape varieties were used), demonstrate a certain tendency of a tricky quality: it's possible to say that it's practically impossible to unfold when you shift from a saucepan to a plate. And they sometimes turn around when eating.
In general, all these moments, taking shape in the thought of wanting to taste cabbage rolls, but not wanting to bother especially with the preparation of food, lead to wonderful ideas for alternative recipes.
A good alternative is "lazy" cabbage rolls in a frying pan, the recipe is simple and unpretentious. Tell you how to fry, or rather, stew cabbage rolls in a frying pan.

Ingredients:
- minced meat (better mixed from meat of different animals) - about 600 g;
- white cabbage - about 400-500 g;
- onion - 1-2 pieces;

- Fresh greens are different;

- garlic;
- hot red pepper.
Preparation
Let's cut the onions into quarter rings, and carrots - shallow straws or we will rub on a large grater. We chop cabbage. It would be nice to crush it with your hands, add it slightly and pour it with boiling water to make up the juice, which can give characteristic bitterness, however, this is not necessary. If we do not release this stage, keep the shredded cabbage in boiling water for about 5 minutes, and then throw it back in a colander, rinse it and squeeze it lightly.
Onions and carrots lightly fry in a pan until a pleasant golden hue. Add minced meat and spices. Reduce the heat and stew, stirring occasionally, for 5-8 minutes. Now add cabbage and stew all together for another 15 minutes (if necessary, you can add a little water). At the very end of the process, add the finished rice and chopped greens. Stir and cook all together for a couple of minutes. You can add 1-2 tablespoons of tomato, but this component is optional. That's all - just like all ingenious.
Sour cream is seasoned with the garlic pressed through the hand press and red hot pepper (this sauce is served separately).
