Wash the cabbage and remove the outer leaves. Peel the carrots and onions.
Chop the white cabbage - the slices should be thin and approximately the same size. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater.
Finely chop the onion so that its flavor does not overwhelm the main dish.
Place the stew in a thick-bottomed saucepan (for small portions, you can use a deep frying pan), add spices and heat to melt the fat.
When the fat becomes liquid, place the cabbage on the stew, stir, close the lid and simmer for 15 minutes over low heat.
After 15 minutes, when the cabbage has softened, add grated carrots and onions to the pan. Season with salt, add a little pepper to taste, stir and simmer covered for about 30 minutes.
Solyanka must be eaten hot. You can decorate the dish with fresh herbs and serve with tomatoes.
