Tomato Paste Cabbage Sauté is made by cooking shredded cabbage with onion and tomato paste until tender. Soften the onion first, fry the paste briefly, then add the cabbage and cook, stirring now and then, until it softens.
Tomato Paste Cabbage Sauté turns watery when the cabbage releases more moisture than can evaporate, especially in an overcrowded or covered pan. Cook it in batches if needed, and leave the lid off toward the end so excess liquid can cook away.
White cabbage is the usual choice for Tomato Paste Cabbage Sauté. Choose a firm head, remove any tough outer leaves, and slice the cabbage thinly so it cooks evenly and takes on the tomato-paste flavor.
No, Tomato Paste Cabbage Sauté is not necessarily the same as Turkish kapuska. Kapuska is typically a cabbage stew and may include meat, rice, or other additions, while this dish is generally prepared as a simpler sauté.
Yes, you can add ground meat to Tomato Paste Cabbage Sauté. Brown the meat first, then add the onion and tomato paste before stirring in the cabbage; this keeps the meat flavorful and lets the cabbage cook in the same pan.
Tomato Paste Cabbage Sauté goes well with rice, bulgur, or crusty bread. Serve it as a vegetable side or pair it with yogurt for a simple meal; if you add meat, it can also work as a more substantial main dish.
Yes, Tomato Paste Cabbage Sauté can be made without onion. The flavor will be simpler, so fry the tomato paste briefly in oil before adding the cabbage, and season the dish well with salt and pepper.
To keep Tomato Paste Cabbage Sauté from tasting bitter, avoid scorching the tomato paste or browning the cabbage too aggressively. Fry the paste only until fragrant, then add the cabbage and lower the heat if the pan starts to catch.
Yes, Tomato Paste Cabbage Sauté can be frozen, although the cabbage may be softer and release liquid after thawing. Cool it before packing it into an airtight container, then reheat it in a pan so extra moisture can evaporate.
Tomato Paste Cabbage Sauté keeps for about three to four days in the refrigerator when stored promptly in a sealed container. Reheat only the portion you plan to eat, and make sure it is hot throughout before serving.

Tomato paste cabbage sauté is a simple Turkish home-style dish: chopped cabbage is cooked in a pan with tomato paste, often alongside onion, until tender. The paste gives it a deep red colour and a savoury, gently tangy flavour, while the exact seasoning varies from kitchen to kitchen.
As it cooks, the cabbage softens but still has some texture. In Turkey, it can be served with bread, rice or a spoonful of yoghurt, either as a vegetable side or as a modest meat-free main. Cabbage brings fibre and vitamin C to the dish; it provides 2.8 g of fibre per 100 g. For a lighter version, use less oil and loosen the tomato paste with a little water as it cooks.
High
How many vitamins, minerals and how much fiber this food carries per calorie. A high score means a lot of nutrition for few calories.
