STEWED CABBAGE (DUSZONA KAPUSTA)
In the Polish home, there are many main courses and side dishes revolving around cabbage (and potatoes). The recipes can be very complex, savory, sweet, vegan, with meat, mushrooms, apples or thickened with flour. Some like the addition of tomatoes, others like dill or paprika.
In my home, we grew up with basic meatless Duszona Kapusta because it was quickest and easiest. It was always accompanied by meat and potatoes. There was no better or flavorful meal in my opinion, and if you try it you will understand.
