Shred the white cabbage – the slices should be thin and approximately the same size. Grate the carrots on a coarse grater.
Chop the onion finely so that its flavor does not overpower 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 until the fat melts.
When the fat becomes liquid, add cabbage to the stew, stir, cover with a lid and simmer for 15 minutes over low heat.
After 15 minutes, when the cabbage becomes softer, add grated carrots and onions to the pan. Add salt, a little pepper to taste, stir and simmer under the lid for about 30 minutes more.
