My grandmother served me young cabbage hunter's stew, my mother cooked it, and now I prepare it for my loved ones. A large pot lasts for several days because hunter's stew only get better when reheated, but in my home, it disappears much faster—everyone loves it. It is filling, traditional, and very simple.

Simple and quick young cabbage hunter's stew is the perfect way to use seasonal vegetables. Combined with potatoes and dill, it becomes a delicious idea for a summer lunch.

When choosing cabbage for the dish, I always pay attention to its core. The lighter the core, the younger and more tender the cabbage will be. I avoid cabbage with a brown or yellow core. That’s a sign that the vegetable is old and may not be as tasty.

  • 10 ounces smoked bacon,
  • 1 onion,
