All Hail Cabbage!
Cabbage is great! I can't believe how well it always comes out with flavorful meats and gives you that noodle fill.
Here are three favorites, low-carb and fast to make recipes of mine :
Cabbage side dish :
1 small cabbage, shredded
2 strips of bacon
1 onion
2 cups celery, diced
Garlic powder, pepper and paprika
Small nuggets of butter
Shred cabbage, dice onion and celery. Put in 9x9 cake dish. Cut bacon in small 1" squares and spread evenly across veggies. Add a bit of salt, lots of cracked pepper and a pinch of garlic powder (not salt!) and paprika. Drop a few nuggets (pea sized) of butter across the dish and cover in foil. Poke a hole in the foil and put into the oven at 350 for 40 minutes. This is great to accompany other oven meats (roastbeef, whole chickens, pork roasts, etc.) and tastes divine! You can also make an asian version of it with just a bit of soy sauce (hold the salt), grated fresh ginger and a clove of garlic.
Cabbage & pork casserole :
(This is great with leftover baked ham)
1 small cabbage, coarsely shredded with a knife (around 4 cups shredded)
1 big onion
1 pack of mushrooms
1 garlic sausage
3 stripes of bacon
1 cup of diced leftover baked ham
1 clove of garlic
Couple of strands (or tsp if dried) of chives
Lots of cracked pepper
Pretty straightforward, cook bacon and sausage and ham for a couple of minutes in a pan (on med high), saute onions, garlic and mushrooms in the same pan (raise to high) - then add cabbage, chives and pepper at will. Cover the pan with a lid (lower to med-low) and come back every 5 minutes to stir and make sure nothing's sticking.
30 minutes later, it's a strange mess visually (between sauerkraut and a stir fry) but it tastes absolutely divine!
Cabbage & ground beef casserole
1 pound of ground beef
1 Italian sausage (just one, for taste)
1 small cabbage (coarsely shredded with a knife)
1 onion
1 green pepper
1 clove of garlic
Bunch of fresh basil or oregano
1 can of diced tomatoes
1 dollop of sour cream
1 cup of shredded mozza
Brown beef (salt and pepper meat) and saute sausage, cabbage, diced onion, garlic & green peppers in olive oil. Dump a can of diced tomatoes and a couple of bunches of basil and/or oregano. Pre-heat oven at 350 and start shredding cheese. Let simmer for 15-20 minutes with the cover off to reduce tomato juice. Then throw in a dollop of sour cream, mix well - put in a casserole and cover with shredded cheese. Bake for 15 minutes and then broil for 3-4 mins until cheese has turned golden brown. Let stand for 5 minutes and dig in!
Anybody else got strange and delicious cabbage recipes - I'm all ears!
