Best Sauteed Savoy Cabbage Recipe-Savoy Cabbage, Potatoes and Garlic Cloves

As you can see, for this savoy cabbage recipe, we only need three basic ingredients, savoy cabbage, potatoes and a few cloves of garlic. I used two heads of savoy cabbage, a total of about a kilogram, which I cut in four, and about a kilogram of white potatoes.

And we need three more cloves of garlic, which we will grate into the dish. But first, let's prepare the ingredients.

How to Make the Best Sauteed Savoy Cabbage Recipe?

Preparing the Ingredients

I started with cabbage, and after I cut it in four, I took each quarter of the cabbage and started slicing it into not very thin slices, about 1 cm thick.

After washing and peeling the potatoes, I cut them into 2 cm thick cubes. Try to cut them to equal sizes so that they boil evenly and simultaneously.

I peel the garlic cloves.

Prepare the Savoy Cabbage

I made this dish in a larger soup pot, where I put chopped cabbage and two litres of cold water. I boiled, along with a tablespoon of sea salt, for about 3-4 minutes.

Add the Potatoes

After the cabbage softens, add diced potatoes, and cook for about 20-30 minutes, depending on the type of potatoes used, until they boil.

Seasoning the Vegetables

When the potatoes are almost cooked, add the garlic, which we grate or crash directly into the pot.

Season with a tablespoon of caraway, a tablespoon of marjoram, a teaspoon of freshly ground pepper and two teaspoons of the vegetable mix for soups.

Make a Roux

Because I like the stew to be more consistent, I will make a thinner thickening of 100 ml of oil to which I add two tablespoons of flour and a teaspoon of Hungarian sweet paprika, and which I diluted with 50 ml of warm water.

The complete recipe for this type of wholesale can be found on the page with smoked sausage potato soup.
