How to make cabbage and mushroom solyanka
Peel the red onion, cut into thin half rings, and fry in heated vegetable oil for several minutes.
Finely chop the white cabbage and add to the fried onions.
Next, add the carrots grated on a coarse grater.
Be sure to sort, clean, wash, and boil the wild mushrooms until tender. It's best to drain the water after it boils, pour fresh boiling water over the mushrooms, and simmer for 1 hour.
Drain the cooked wild mushrooms in a colander and then chop them. Add the chopped mushrooms to the cabbage and carrots.
Dice the ripe red tomatoes. Remove the seeds from the chili peppers and cut into rings.
Add chili and tomatoes to the remaining ingredients.
Add sugar and salt, pour in 9% vinegar, and cook over moderate heat for 45 minutes. At this point, cover the pan with a lid.
We pour the hot solyanka into clean, dry jars and close them tightly.
Place a towel on the bottom of a deep saucepan, place the jars with the solyanka mixture, and pour in hot water until it reaches the shoulders of the jars. Sterilize for 25 minutes after boiling (for jars up to 500 ml). Mushroom preserves must be sterilized!
After cooling, store the pieces in a cool place. Store at a temperature of 2 to 10 degrees Celsius.
