  • How do you make braised cabbage with mushrooms in a slow cooker?
    1. Rinse the mushrooms and slice them thin.
    1. Peel and rinse the carrots and onion; dice the onion small and grate the carrots on the coarse holes of a box grater.
    1. Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage and shred the head finely.
    1. Put the mushrooms in the slow-cooker bowl, pour in the sunflower oil, select the "Sauté/Fry" setting, and cook the mushrooms for 4–5 minutes; then add the carrots and onion and keep cooking for another 15 minutes.
    1. At this point, add the cabbage and pour in the water, switch to the "Stew/Braise" setting, and set the timer for 40 minutes.
    1. After the beep, add the tomato paste, salt to taste, stir, and run "Stew/Braise" once more, this time for just 10 minutes.
  • Serve the dish warm, garnished with parsley if you like.
  • Enjoy!
  • Every oil is only good up to a certain temperature — its smoke point, above which the oil starts to burn and forms toxic compounds, including carcinogens. For how to gauge frying temperature, pick the best oil for frying, and know which oils to avoid altogether, read more here.
  • You can swap the tomato paste in this recipe for canned tomatoes in their own juice, fresh tomatoes, or ketchup.
