    1. Wash and clean the saffron milk caps, cut them into large pieces, and boil them in lightly salted water for 20 minutes from the time it comes to a boil, skimming off the foam as they cook. Then drain the mushrooms in a colander and let the liquid run off.
    1. Peel the onion and cut it into thin half-rings. Peel the carrot and cut it into thin strips; cut the cabbage the same way. Seed and derib the bell pepper, wash it, and cut it into strips.
    1. Put all the vegetables in a skillet, add the vegetable oil, set it over the heat, and cook over medium heat, stirring.
    1. Wash the tomatoes and cut them into quarters. Add the mushrooms and cherry tomatoes to the skillet, season with salt and black pepper to taste, pour in 100–150 ml (about 1/2 to 2/3 cup) of water, cover, and braise the vegetables and mushrooms for 15 minutes.
    1. Peel the garlic, mince it finely, and add it to the vegetables along with the green peas. Stir and cook for another 1–2 minutes. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.
  • And that's it—the dish is ready. Serve it sprinkled with chopped green onion.
  • Enjoy!
