Meanwhile, remove the top leaves from the cabbage, chop it and add to the potatoes. Stir, then reduce the temperature to medium, cover and simmer while the rest of the ingredients cook.

Pour oil into another small skillet, heat and add chopped onions and carrots. Fry them until golden brown. Then add the tomato juice (which can be made from 2 tablespoons of tomato paste in a glass of water). If you have tomatoes in their own juice, transfer them to a skillet and mash with a fork. Sprinkle with black pepper, salt and add 150-200 ml of water. Mix everything together and bring to a boil.

After that, transfer the contents of the pan to the cabbage and potatoes, stir and continue to simmer at low temperature, covered.
