Step 1:
1. Before you start, soak the prunes in cold water. The trickiest part of this recipe is shredding the cabbage — don't cut it too thin. Dice the onion as well.
Step 2:
1. Cut up the prunes.
Step 3:
1. Fry the onion in sunflower oil, then layer in the cabbage and prunes — a layer of cabbage, a layer of prunes, salting each layer. Cook over medium heat, stirring.
Step 4:
1. Add spices to taste. I used a pinch of thyme, some sumac, and pepper.
Step 5:
1. And it's done! Enjoy, everyone. Always yours, Old Sam.
