Early cabbage solyanka with mushrooms for the winter

Peel and wash vegetables as needed. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater, cut the onion into half rings. Chop the cabbage with a sharp knife into thin strips or grate it on a grater specially designed for this purpose. Transfer the cabbage to a deep cauldron or saucepan, pour in a small amount of water. To understand how much water you need, you should evaluate the juiciness of the cabbage. If it is not very juicy, then you need to take about half a glass of water. Divide the vegetable oil into three parts by eye and add one of the parts to the cabbage. Set a saucepan with cabbage over medium heat and simmer until half cooked.

For harvesting, you can use both purchased boiled mushrooms and frozen ones. Drain the liquid from the mushrooms through a sieve or colander, cut large pieces into smaller pieces, put in a pan. Pour the second part of vegetable oil to the mushrooms, simmer them for about 20 minutes, while the heat should be above average. Remember to stir periodically. Add chopped onion to the pan, let it simmer for about 10 minutes, then put the carrots, stir and cook for about 10-15 minutes more, medium heat.

Add vegetables with mushrooms to cabbage, put tomato sauce, spices, sugar, salt. As for the spices - they can be selected to your liking, usually they put a few bay leaves and a couple of allspice and plain black peppercorns. Mix everything, cover, put on the stove and bring to a boil. When the workpiece boils, reduce the fire and extinguish for another 20 minutes, from time to time removing the lid and stirring. If there is a suspicion that the hodgepodge is somewhat dry, you can add some more water. At the end of cooking, pour in the vinegar and stir.

Fill prepared sterile jars with mushrooms from early cabbage, roll up and turn over. Wrap the blanks with towels and leave upside down until they cool. From the specified amount of products, 10 half-liter cans are obtained.

After cooling, transfer the jars with the hodgepodge to the cellar, use within 10 months.
