1 tbsp. l flour,
2 garlic cloves,
1 medium beet,
1 medium carrot,
1 onion,
4 medium potatoes,
spices and salt - a little, to taste,
vegetable oil - a little, for frying.

Cooking:

First, take a saucepan and pour 2 liters of water into it, put it on the stove. Using this recipe, you can easily cook in a slow cooker delicious vegetarian borscht.

At that time, while the water will boil, we will be engaged in the preparation of other products. We take potatoes, peel them and cut them into relatively small cubes. After the water boils, put the sliced potatoes in a saucepan, fasten the fire to the minimum and cook for a quarter of an hour.

Now we are engaged in cooking zazharki. Peel the garlic and onions, wash well and chop finely. Peel carrots, wash, rub on a coarse grater. Put a frying pan on the stove, pour in a little vegetable oil (approximately 2 tablespoons). As soon as the oil is hot, put onion and garlic in the pan, then fry until the vegetables have a nice golden tint.

Cabbage with mushrooms

On Saturday and Sunday, when vegetable oil is allowed to be consumed in fasting, it is possible to prepare not only a tasty, but also a fairly satisfying meal, besides, it is not only very quick and easy to prepare, but also contains a minimal amount of calories, that is, it is dietary. That is why it can be cooked not only in the post, but also on any day, if you want to lose some weight.

Ingredients:

1 large onion,
300 grams of mushrooms,
500 g sauerkraut,
1 kg of fresh cabbage,
pepper and salt - a little, to taste,
vegetable oil - a little, to taste.

Cooking:

Thanks to the use of fresh cabbage, the dish is tender and juicy, and sauerkraut adds a little piquancy, making the taste more interesting and savory.

First, we prepare fresh cabbage - finely chop it. Then, thoroughly wash the mushrooms with cold running water, then cut into thin slices. In the event that pickled champignons are used, they should also be cut into slices.

Now we take onion, peel and finely chop. Put a frying pan on the stove, pour in a little oil and simmer onion over low heat until it becomes translucent and soft. Next to the onions add the already prepared mushrooms.

Fry the onions and mushrooms until they are half cooked, then season with a small amount of salt and pepper (if you prefer, you can not add the pepper at all, then the taste of the dish will be more tender and soft). Shift the mushrooms with onions on a separate plate.

Then we take a new frying pan, add just a couple of tablespoons of vegetable oil and wait until it is hot. Now we put fresh cabbage into the frying pan and fry over medium heat, season with salt, cover with a lid (so the cabbage will make juice much faster). Periodically, so that the cabbage does not burn, it must be mixed. Stew cabbage in this way for 5-7 minutes.

After the specified period of time has elapsed, we lay out all the sauerkraut in the pan, and again simmer for 7 minutes (now it is not necessary to cover the pan with a lid). Then add to the pan with cabbage and mushrooms, mix everything well and simmer for about 5 minutes, turn off the stove.

It is very important not to overdo the cabbage on fire, since only in this case it will be sufficiently juicy and crispy, it also will not disintegrate. The advantage of this recipe is not only its taste and minimal calorie content, but also the fact that, subject to moderate heat treatment, cabbage keeps everything beneficial features and vitamins.

Before preparing this dish, take rice and soak it in advance. cold water. Thus, all the starch surplus will leave the rice much faster and easier, so that the rice will turn out to be more tasty, tender and crumbly.

Next, take the mushrooms and cut them into small pieces. It is worth remembering that in the process of frying, the pieces of mushrooms will roll up, as a result of which they will become several times smaller, therefore, they should be cut into such pieces so that they are felt in the filling.

Now we take onions, peel and finely chop it. In a pan for 20 minutes under a lid, simmer the onions and mushrooms (you can not add vegetable oil).

Rice can be cooked in a pan or in a double boiler. If we cook rice in a pan, it is important to remember that the lid should not be lifted until all the liquid has evaporated (water should be poured just enough so that it is only on a finger above the level of rice).

Chop cabbage finely, as it should not be too long, otherwise it will be very difficult to mix with the rest of the ingredients of the filling. Carrots clean, wash and three on a coarse grater. Stew cabbage with carrots in a pan for about 20 minutes under a closed lid.

At that time, while the cabbage is stewing, we will prepare the pepper for stuffing. First, carefully cut off the top of each pepper, then wash them, not only from the outside, but also from the inside. Cut off the caps do not throw away, as they are still useful. Now we take a knife and carefully remove all internal membranes, wash out the remaining seeds with water.

Once all the ingredients for the filling are ready, mix them, lightly season the filling with a small amount of pepper and salt. We take a teaspoon and stuff each pepper, after which we cover each pepper with the caps and cook them in water for about half an hour, until they are completely ready.

Lenten stuffed pepper is ready, and this dish can be a worthy respect for any table, not only in the post, but on any other day. If desired, the stuffed pepper can be served with greens and mayonnaise.
