Stew cabbage with chicken. Stewed cabbage with chicken and tomatoes

Friends, today I cooked - this is stewed cabbage with chicken and tomatoes. The unusual thing is that a dish prepared according to this recipe can replace both the first and the second at the same time. Stewed cabbage is dietary, as it is cooked without oil and without frying. And a large number of tomatoes in the dish creates a pleasant color accent and pleases the eye.

Stewed cabbage with chicken and tomatoes: a dietary recipe

For the recipe, I took chicken drumsticks... In my opinion, they are not as bold as chicken legs, and not so dry. It is better to take small tomatoes. I used (such as " Lady fingers»), You can also try with cherry tomatoes. If only large tomatoes are available, cut them into 2 or 4 pieces, depending on the size, but do not grind them.

Lyrical digression.

I spent three days on a diet. At night I wanted to drink water, went to the refrigerator, then everything was like a fog - I woke up when I washed down a chocolate bar with borscht.

Ingredients:

• pieces of chicken (I used chicken drumsticks), you can take any chicken meat, chicken breast or chicken legs) 4 pcs.
• 5 -20 pcs. (the amount depends on the size of the tomatoes and your taste)
• white cabbage cut ½ small roach
• cauliflower(cut into inflorescences, then break slightly) frozen cauliflower can be used) 250g.
• green sweet bell pepper 1 PC.
• 5 cloves garlic
• ground black pepper
• grated ginger 1 tsp optional
• bay leaf 2 pcs.
• black allspice 3-4 pcs.
• grated hard cheese for sprinkling (optional)

How to stew cabbage with chicken and tomatoes

• Salt and pepper the chicken drumsticks, sprinkle with finely chopped garlic. Leave to stand for 10 minutes.
• Put the chicken drumsticks into a cauldron, saucepan or deep frying pan, pour a little water, add grated ginger. Simmer chicken over low heat under a closed lid for 15 minutes.
• Then add cauliflower, chopped white cabbage and diced green Bell pepper... Simmer over low heat. Make sure that the dish does not burn, add water if necessary. I like it when the cabbage stays a little hard, not cooked. At this stage, you can taste the stewed cabbage and season with salt and spices.
• Add the tomatoes, allspice and bay leaves 5 minutes until tender. When you turn off the heat, let the dish stand for 10 minutes with the lid closed. Before serving, sprinkle the stew with chicken and tomatoes generously with cilantro (or any other herb) and finely grated cheese (ideally use Parmesan).

Bon Appetit!

Braised white cabbage, in my opinion, is one of the most delicious vegetable dishes. A great variety of recipes have been invented, and of them those in which cabbage is stewed with some kind of meat, for example, chicken meat, are especially successful. If you are interested in a similar combination, if you are looking for some simple home recipe, some new ideas, then this article is just for you. Here you will learn how to quickly and easily stew cabbage with chicken and other ingredients.

What is the essence of this dish? What are the nuances? I will briefly reveal the principles of cooking, and then we will move on to step-by-step recipes. If you are in a hurry, then go down below and select the desired item in the article menu.

Stewed cabbage is a very simple dish. Roughly speaking, it is enough to chop cabbage and other vegetables, put it all in a saucepan or saucepan, turn on low heat and simmer under the lid until tender. If you are going to add meat, then it is advisable to fry it in advance until it is aromatic, and then put fresh cabbage on top. And there are several important points here.

Since in this case we will take chicken, keep in mind that chicken meat for a long heat treatment may fall apart into fibers. And if you stew the cabbage for too long, then by its readiness the chicken can literally dissolve and turn into "porridge". And here and there some cartilage, bones and other unpleasant things will come across. In general, it will not be very tasty.

This can be the case if you are going to cook a very large amount of cabbage in a large, large saucepan. And with a not very powerful tile. All this will stretch the total cooking time, and for a chicken that has been fried a long time ago, this is not desirable. How can we get out of this situation?

Fry the chicken until cooked, then take it out, and in this fragrant juice, oil, simmer the cabbage. And when the cabbage is soft, just add the pieces of meat back. Then they poured a few more minutes, and the dish will be ready. Once again, I repeat that this must be done if you are going to stew several kg of cabbage at a time (and in a huge bowl). If the volumes are modest, then you can do as suggested in all the recipes below.

And after the recipes, there is a list of different tips and ideas that will help diversify this dish.

The classic recipe for stewed cabbage with chicken (the most delicious)

This recipe is considered classic, "common" and the most popular. I was given something like this back in the school cafeteria. For color, taste and aroma, onions, carrots, a little garlic and tomato paste are added here. In general, nothing more.

This cabbage goes well mashed potatoes or even regular pasta (horns). We will extinguish with chicken breast... If desired, it can be replaced with thighs, wings, etc.

Ingredients:

• White cabbage - 1.5 kg.
• Chicken breast - 700 g.
• Onions - 2 pcs.
• Carrots - 1 medium;
• Garlic - 2-4 cloves (optional)
• Tomato paste - 3-5 tbsp spoons (or some tomato sauce);
• Hops-suneli - 1 tsp (optional);
• Ground paprika - 1 tsp (to taste);
• Sunflower oil (odorless) - 100 ml. (less possible);
• Salt - 1-2 tsp (as you like);
• Fresh herbs (dill, parsley) - 1 small bunch (optional);

Step by step cooking

Remove the skin from the chicken breast, cut the fillet from the bones, then cut the meat into small pieces.

In a saucepan with a thick bottom, heat the vegetable oil well. Put the chicken there, stir, reduce the heat to medium, cover with a lid. We fry for 10-15 minutes. Just while we prepare the rest of the ingredients.

We clean and chop the onion. You can cut it into half rings, or you can cut it into "cubes" like this.

Peel the carrots, wash, then cut into strips or three on a coarse grater. Remove 1-2 external withered leaves from the cabbage, and chop the rest. Length, thickness of the pieces at your discretion. For example, I love when the cabbage is small.

The meat turned white, slightly decreased in volume, in some places there is golden crust... The typical fried chicken aroma has emerged.

Add the onion to the chicken, squeeze out 1-2 cloves of garlic, mix and fry for another 3-5 minutes. The lid does not need to be covered anymore.

Now it's the turn of the carrots, put them in a saucepan, mix again.

A little salt can be added at this stage. We also add pepper, paprika, suneli hops and any other aromatic seasonings to taste. The main thing is that you like them. Fry for about 4 minutes more.

Well, now you can put chopped cabbage here. If it all does not fit, then put half, mix and cover with a lid. After 5-10 minutes, the cabbage will settle, and you can add the rest. Simmer under the lid.

After 15 minutes add tomato paste or sauce. 3-4 tablespoons of pasta will be enough, more sauces, ketchups will be needed. Instead of them, if you wish, you can add tomatoes in your own juice.

Stir, simmer for 10 minutes, add more salt if necessary. You can also put 1-2 bay leaves for flavor. Add fresh chopped herbs, mix and simmer until the cabbage is soft. Here exact time it is difficult to point out, since the dishes and tiles are different for everyone.

The kitchen will be filled with such divine scent that as much salivation will flow! Enjoy your meal!

By the way, instead of bread, you can serve fragrant ... They cook in almost 15 minutes, so I advise you to familiarize yourself with the recipes.

Original stewed cabbage with chicken breast (in a pan)

What is so unusual about this recipe? Firstly, the chicken will be smoked here, which will add special notes of taste and aroma. And secondly, as a dressing, sauce, we will not use tomato paste (as often happens), but ordinary milk.

Very tender, aromatic, tasty, slightly spicy. In general, try it yourself, otherwise I cannot describe in words the wonderful taste of this dish.

Ingredients:

• Smoked chicken (chicken breast, fillet) - 300 g.
• Cabbage (white cabbage) - 0.8-1 kg.
• Carrots - 1 pc.
• Onions (onions) - 1 pc.
• Milk - 1 glass;
• Salt, pepper, other spices - 3-4 pinches;
• Vegetable oil - 35 ml.

Let's start cooking

1. Since the chicken is ready, we start by roasting the vegetables. Peel and rinse the carrots, then grate them on a coarse grater. Also chop the onion finely. Chop the cabbage into thin strips.
2. Heat oil in a skillet, then add the onion. Fry the onion for a few minutes until lightly golden, then add grated carrots to it. Stir and cook for a few more minutes over medium (or slightly less) heat.
3. Now place the cabbage, stir quickly, cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. From time to time, come up and stir gently.
4. Add salt, pepper, any seasonings, then pour in about a glass of milk. Simmer first under the lid, and then, when the cabbage is softened, the lid can be removed. The excess liquid will just evaporate.
5. Add chopped smoked chicken, stir, then simmer for another 5-8 minutes. That's it, our dish is ready! Decorate with sprigs of fresh fragrant herbs.

Cabbage stewed with chicken fillet, apple and pumpkin

Yes, someone will find such a combination, to put it mildly, strange. Others see this dish as a familiar homemade yummy... Worth a try anyway. Not only is it tasty, it's also very healthy. Everywhere it is said that most of the vitamins are retained when stewing. And here we have cabbage, pumpkin, and apple - a whole storehouse nutrients!

Instead of pumpkin, you can take zucchini or even regular potatoes (of course, and the final taste will be different). Cabbage is suitable for both white and cauliflower, the essence of cooking will remain the same.

We need:

• Fresh cabbage - 400 g.
• Pumpkin pulp - 200 g.
• Apple (preferably sour) - 1 pc.
• Onions - 1 pc.
• Chicken fillet - 200-300 g.
• Garlic - 1-2 cloves;
• Parsley - several branches;
• Salt - a few pinches;
• Frying oil;

Preparation

1. Chop the cabbage thinly and finely. Cut the pumpkin into small cubes. Fillets should be cut into approximately the same pieces.
2. Peel the apple, cut the core, then cut into small pieces. Cut the onion into half rings or more finely. That's it, now let's start frying.
3. Pour some vegetable oil into the pan, heat it well. Put the fillet first. Fry until cooked through, stirring occasionally. Season with salt.
4. Put the fried meat in a separate bowl, and now the onion goes into the pan. Fry it lightly over medium heat.
5. Next, you need to put slices of pumpkin and apple on the onion. Fry like this for about 10 minutes, until the pumpkin becomes a little softer.
6. Now it remains to add cabbage, parsley, finely grated garlic. Stir well, cover and simmer for about 20 minutes until the cabbage is soft.
7. Add the chicken back to the pan, stir and simmer for another 10-15 minutes until all vegetables are fully cooked.

Cabbage with chicken, stewed in a slow cooker (video)

If you want to stew not in a pan, not in a saucepan, but in a multicooker, then here is a short video for you with a visual and understandable cooking process. In short, there is not much difference here, just the buttons are pressed not on the stove, but on the multicooker body.

• White cabbage - 1.5 kg;
• Onion - 1 pc.;
• Carrots - 1 pc.;
• Salt - 1 pinch (or to taste);
• Large chicken breast - 1 pc.;
• Greens (any) - to taste;
• Tomato paste - 2 tablespoons;
• Favorite spices - to taste;
• Bay leaf - 3 pcs.;
• Ground black pepper to taste.

Preparation:
After washing and drying the chicken breast, free it from the skin, cut it into medium pieces, salt, pepper, season with seasonings. Mix thoroughly, remove the meat to the side and wait 20 minutes until it is saturated with the aroma of spices.

Fry the breast pieces until light golden brown, then add grated carrots and finely chopped onions to them. Fry for three minutes and remove the pan from the stove.

We make a medium cut of cabbage and divide it into three parts. We put one in a pan with meat, fill it with water (a quarter of a glass) and cook over low heat for 4 minutes.

Pour in the next part of the cabbage slices, and, stirring, continue to simmer for another 4 minutes. If necessary, add a little water. We do the same with the third part of chopped cabbage, simmer everything over medium heat for 10 minutes.

Salt, pepper the dish, mix with lavrushka and tomato paste... We cook for another 7 minutes.

Ingredients:

• cabbage 1-1.5 kg,
• 0.5 kg of chicken (breast, fillet or a couple of legs),
• a couple of tablespoons of tomato paste,
• salt,
• pepper,
• vegetable oil.

Preparation:
Cut the meat into large pieces. If this is a leg, then the meat must be cut off from it, separating it from the bones. For cooking, you can take a frying pan, cauldron or thick-walled dishes. Put the meat in it and fry for about four minutes, so that it turns white on all sides.

Add cabbage, cut into thin strips, stir and fry covered for 20 minutes. If the cabbage burns, you can add a little water from the kettle. Season with pepper, salt, add tomato paste and stir. Leave to simmer for another 20 minutes to make the cabbage very soft. Mashed potatoes or just boiled potatoes go well with such a cabbage.

Ingredients:

• 250-300 g chicken fillet
• 400 g young cabbage
• 1-2 tomatoes (total 150 grams)
• 1 small onion (approx 70-80 g)
• pepper, salt to taste

Preparation:
For stewed cabbage with chicken, you can take any fillet, but it is for this dish, as well as for stewed potatoes, I prefer chicken drumsticks or, as this time, thigh fillets.

Cut the fillet into small pieces, salt, pepper to taste and mix.

Pour some vegetable oil into a preheated pan, put the meat and fry it on both sides until golden brown.

While the chicken is fried, clean the onion and cut it into small cubes.

Add the onion to the chicken and fry for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally.

We begin to shred the cabbage. As you chop, lightly sprinkle it with salt and rub it a little with your hands right on the board. So the cabbage will immediately decrease slightly in volume and will give juice faster in the pan. Then we put it in a frying pan, cover with a lid and simmer for 7-10 minutes. The fire should be small, but not the smallest.

Cut the tomatoes in half, remove the tails and rub on a coarse grater, holding the skin. Then discard the skin, and add the tomato mass to the pan.

Stir, taste with salt, add salt if necessary and continue to cook without a lid over medium heat for another 5-7 minutes until cooked. If you wish, you can add some finely chopped dill, very tasty!

If you take old-crop cabbage for stewing, then the cooking time will increase by 15-20 minutes.

Ingredients:

• 1 kg cabbage (1/2 large head of cabbage)
• 500 g chicken (I used 2 legs)
• 2-3 tbsp tomato paste
• salt
• pepper
• vegetable oil for frying

Preparation:
Separate the meat from the bones, cut into large pieces.

Finely chop the cabbage.

Pour vegetable oil into a large heavy-bottomed saucepan.

Lay out the chicken pieces.

Fry with vigorous stirring for 3-4 minutes, until the pieces turn white on all sides.

Add cabbage, mix well.

Fry over medium heat, covered for about 20 minutes (you can add a little water if necessary).

Add tomato paste, salt and pepper, mix well.

Simmer for another 20 minutes.

The cabbage should be very soft.

Stewed cabbage with chicken will go very well with boiled potatoes.

Ingredients:

• Cabbage - 2 kg;
• Carrots - 1 pc;
• Onion - 1 pc;
• Chicken thigh - 600 gr;
• Sunflower oil;
• Salt;
• Spices.

Preparation:
1. Fry chicken thigh... It is necessary to cut into small pieces and fry in vegetable oil until half cooked.

2. Add spices to the meat. We add spices especially for chicken (saffron, curry, ginger, suneli hops, suneli uhko). Fry for another 2-3 minutes.

3. Add onions and carrots. We cut the onion and chop the carrots on a grater.

4. Chop the cabbage. Shred cabbage while cooking meat with onions and carrots. How to shred cabbage depends on your preference - someone loves smaller, someone larger.

Mash the chopped cabbage with your hands in a large bowl with salt and add to the meat. You can add a little water so that the cabbage is not fried, but stewed. When stewing, cabbage loses its volume, therefore, during cooking, this must be taken into account and put more. I usually don't have all the cabbage in the cauldron and I gradually, as the first batch of cabbage is fried, I add the rest.

5. Mash the cabbage with salt.

6. Add cabbage to meat.

In the process of cooking, taste the cabbage for salt, add salt if necessary.

7. Add the rest of the spices. At the end of cooking, I added freshly ground black pepper and 3 chopped garlic cloves - the poet's soul could not stand it, I really love garlic!

8. Simmer until tender.

Stewed cabbage with chicken is ready!

She peeled and grated the carrots coarsely, put them in a cauldron.

A delicious, hearty and aromatic dish is ready! Any greens in addition are welcome.

Chicken braised cabbage is a food that I agree to eat in pans, saucepans, and even casseroles. I like the recipe because the cabbage turns out to be completely low-fat and at the same time very juicy. And, what I especially like, there is a decent amount of chicken in cabbage. The chicken becomes soft due to the fact that at first it is quickly fried, and then calmly stewed along with cabbage with the addition of water. Yes, no beer or apple juice... The set of products is simple and, I would even say, austere. The taste of stewed cabbage with chicken is largely "made" by the tomato sauce, which you add to it at the very end. Therefore, try to choose a good, pleasant taste, since you need only three teaspoons of it. Of course, spices are important too. I like to pour cumin everywhere. But my husband is categorically against it, so I used a democratic khmeli-suneli, which emphasizes the taste of the dish without pulling the blanket over myself. (Well, of course, if you don't pour a whole bag into the cabbage.) And the last important point. Remember that cabbage, which is part of almost any dish, takes some time to infuse after cooking - only then will it fully absorb the taste of the sauce. I will remind you of this below when I write down the recipe for stewed cabbage with chicken with step by step photos... And I also indicate there how long it takes to fry, when and how many times to add water, what is done and why, and how to get the most pleasant result. I hope my simple tips will help you and you will also join the ranks of fans of this simple and very tasty dish.

• Chicken (any parts, I have a breast) - 350-400 grams,
• Fresh white cabbage - 600-700 grams,
• Onion - 1 medium size (80 grams),
• Carrots - 1 medium size (80 grams),
• Red bell peppers (optional) - one third or half large,
• Tomato sauce - 3 teaspoons
• Salt to taste
• Seasonings - to taste (I put half a teaspoon of hops-suneli)

1. Wash the chicken, shake off the remaining water, cut into thin strips. We spread it on a well-heated frying pan with high sides or a saucepan, watered vegetable oil.

2. Fry quickly, stirring occasionally, until golden brown streaks appear on some pieces.

3. My onion, peel, cut into half rings. Put in a saucepan, mix with chicken.

We reduce the heating of the stove to medium. Fry until the onion becomes transparent (about five minutes), stirring so that it does not burn.

4. Wash carrots and peppers, peel, cut into strips. Pour into a saucepan. Mix with chicken, fry for 5 minutes. Then add water (4-5 tablespoons), simmer vegetables with chicken, stirring occasionally, for 5 minutes. Do not close the lid.

As a result, we will get a fragrant chicken broth, in which the cabbage will be stewed. Salt it, pepper it, season it with spices. This technique will help make the cabbage richer in flavor.

5. Chop the kaputa thinly. I rub it on a Berner - an absolutely irreplaceable thing for such cases. We spread the cabbage in a saucepan. Stir with chicken and vegetables, fry for 10 minutes, mix two or three more times in the process.

6. Pour a third of a glass of water into the cabbage, close the lid, but not tightly so that it is shifted by about a centimeter. We reduce the heating of the stove to a small one. Simmer for 20 minutes. If your cabbage is juicy, like mine, during this time it will become soft. If the cabbage is harder and drier, then the time can be increased to 30 or even 40 minutes in the case of particularly dry specimens. Our task is to make all cabbage transparent and soft.

7. Add tomato sauce. A very important point is that the sauce should be tasty by itself. Otherwise, if the sauce is too sour or made with overcooked tomato paste, the cabbage will be spoiled. I make tomato paste sauce. She is Italian, very beautiful to look at, but tastes sour, like lemon. I take a teaspoon of topless pasta, add two teaspoons of sugar and dilute with a tablespoon of water. I stir it well and taste it. I add a little salt, sugar, if it's still a little sour. And when I realize that I have got an excellent tomato sauce, which I would have served with peace of mind to the table just like that, only then I add it to the cabbage.

8. Stir once more, warm up for three minutes. Turn off the stove and leave it under the lid for 10 minutes.

How to cook chicken stew

The first step is to cut the chicken fillet. Instead of fillet, you can use chicken thighs, but they should be prepared: cut the meat from the bone and remove the skin. Then we do everything according to the recipe.

Grate the carrots and dice the onion.

Now sauté the meat in a large skillet over high heat until it is browned. Add very little vegetable oil.

Add onions and carrots to the meat. Fry together for 5-7 minutes over medium heat, do not forget to stir all the time. Prepared vegetables can be transferred from the pan to a large cauldron or thick-bottomed saucepan. This will be required if you are cooking a large portion and it will not fit in the pan.

Now finely chop the cabbage. For a tasty dish, choose a dense head with a slightly sweet flavor. Shredding arbitrarily, but remember that the larger the pieces, the longer it will take to fry.

We put the cabbage in the pan, do not be alarmed if there is a lot of it and it will take up most of the pan. In the process of cooking, it will decrease in volume by 2 times. Reduce the fire to medium.

Next, add the tomato paste directly to the pan. We reduce the heat to low, mix the contents of the pan well.

Season with salt and pepper to taste. You can put bay leaves for flavor, but from the finished dish, you will need to remove it.

Cover the cabbage with a lid and simmer for 35-40 minutes. To extinguish, we need a low heat under the pan. Do not forget to stir the cabbage and make sure that the liquid does not boil away.

Serve the cooked cabbage as independent dish for dinner or lunch.

Ingredients:
- boneless chicken breast - 1 pc;
- white cabbage - 600-800 gr;
- onions - 2 pcs (medium in size);

- water or broth - 0.5 cups (if necessary).

Recipe with photo step by step:

Cut the boneless chicken breast (do not cut the skin) into small pieces. If you are using a broiler fillet, then cut it a little larger, taking into account the fact that when frying the pieces will decrease in size.




Chop the onions quite thinly, in half rings or quarters.





Cut the carrots into cubes or slices, strips. You can grate, but then you have to add more oil, because grated carrots quickly absorb it when frying.





Heat the oil in a deep saucepan or large skillet with high sides. If you use smoked bacon instead of butter, cut into small pieces, melt the fat in a dry frying pan. Remove the greaves - they can be added to the cabbage at the very end of cooking. Arrange the chicken pieces and sauté over medium-high heat.







As soon as the chicken is slightly browned and the meat brightens, put the onion, stir. Reduce heat to low, simmer until onions are translucent. You can brown it a little.





Add the carrots to the skillet and saute for a few minutes until they are soft and soaked in oil.





Let the vegetables and chicken fry, at this time chop the cabbage into thin strips (about the same as for the first courses, not very thinly).





Transfer the cabbage to a skillet with chicken and vegetables. To make it warm up faster, lose volume and you can mix everything, add in small portions, one or two handfuls. Once soft, add another serving.







Then mix everything, salt, cover and simmer until the cabbage is soft and chicken meat... The time is about 30 minutes. If the cabbage is not juicy at all, and does not emit juice when heated, pour in a little water, otherwise everything will burn. When the vegetables are tender, add or tomato paste, twisted tomatoes. For a sour tomato, add a couple of pinches of sugar to even out the flavor.





Mix everything, simmer for another 10 minutes. Add spices to your liking (if adding), bay leaf. Stir, heat, leave to simmer over low heat for 10-15 minutes, without covering the cabbage with a lid. The fire should be very low so that the vegetables soften evenly and do not burn.





Cover the finished cabbage with a lid, leave to brew on a warm burner. After 10-15 minutes, place on plates and serve.

Observe safety precautions when working with shredding devices. Take care of your fingers. Wash the chicken fillet. Dry. Cut into small pieces. The chicken should not be big bast shoes. It should only be caught in the finished dish, breaking down into fibers. Cabbage plays the main role in the dish. So, pour some vegetable oil into the pan. Fry the chicken fillet. Spread it out at a distance from each other. Do not flip the meat over to the other side until you are sure that it is sufficiently ruddy on the underside. It will take about 8-10 minutes to one side on medium heat. The meat will not give much juice because it is not salty.

Step 3 of 5

Add shredded cabbage. Immediately mix the cabbage with the bottom layer of meat and carrots. Otherwise, the bottom layer will start to burn.

Step 4 of 5

There will be too much cabbage at first. Cover the pan with a lid. Under the influence of steam and heat, the cabbage will settle. It will become softer. Simmer cabbage, carrots and chicken at the same time over medium heat for 15 minutes. You can pour in a little water. The water will make the cabbage softer and cook faster. 0.5 cups will be enough.

From the color of carrots, cabbage will acquire its own shade. It will taste good and very aromatic. When the cabbage is soft, add salt and some pepper. As necessary, during the cooking process, add drinking water to the pan to the cabbage. This speeds up the cooking process and improves its juiciness. During the entire stewing time, the cabbage should be stirred 4-5 times. Ready. Divide the dish into plates. Garnish with herbs and serve. Cabbage is very juicy, tender, sweet, saturated with chicken aromas. During the stewing, the chicken is cooked, became soft and breaks down into fibers. This dish can be served to children. There is nothing harmful. Even sauces.
