Red cabbage solyanka with minced meat

30 minutes

Red cabbage solyanka with minced meat is an unusual signature dish that combines the richness of meat flavor and the freshness of cabbage. Historically, solyanka is associated with Russian cuisine, but this version stands out for its originality due to the use of red cabbage, which adds a pleasant sweetness and appetizing color to the dish. Pork mince, browned over high heat, is enriched with spices and paprika, creating a deep aroma. A mix of peppers adds spiciness while sour cream softens the taste, making it more delicate. Serving with chili pepper adds a nice heat. This hearty and cozy dish is perfect for a family lunch or dinner and pairs well with rye bread and fresh herbs.
