    Heat the oil in a frying pan. Fry the rolled roast vigorously while turning, remove. Fry the vegetable onions in the frying fat for a few minutes. Deglaze with stock and wine and bring to the boil. Put the roast back into the roaster. Cover the roast in a preheated oven (electric cooker: 175 °C/ circulating air: 150 °C/ gas: see manufacturer) and braise for approx. 2 hours.

    Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into quarters and cut out the stalk. Wash the cabbage, drain and roughly cut into strips. Peel small onions and cut into fine strips. Heat butter in a large pot. Cover the cabbage and onions and stew them for 10-15 minutes until soft. Season with salt, pepper, nutmeg and a little sugar.

Mix starch with a little water, thicken the simmering stock with it, simmer again for about 1 minute. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve cabbage, sauce and meat. Boiled potatoes taste good with it
