Recipes using cabbage...

got any good ones?

 

1 large head cabbage. 1 pound ground beef. 1/4 pound bacon, finely chopped. 1 cup rice. 1 egg. 1 large onion, finely chopped. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon. 1/2 teaspoon nutmeg. 1/2 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional). Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Sauce: 2 cups tomato juice (or sauce). 1 cup beef broth (or water). Salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. 2 cloves garlic, minced. 1/4 cup brown sugar. Using a very sharp paring knife, core the head of cabbage and carefully place it in a large pot of boiling water. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes (long enough to allow the outter leaves to soften). Carefully lift the cabbage from the boiling water and alllow it to cool enough to handle. Remove the 16 outtermost leaves and, with a small paring knife, trim and reduce the thick center vein in each leaf so that it's flexible enough to roll. In a medium bowl, place the ground beef, bacon, rice, egg, onion, garlic, cinnamon, nutmeg, chili flakes, salt and pepper. Using your hands, mix until well blended. Place about 1/4 cup stuffing on each cabbage leaf. Fold in the sides and roll loosely to make a neat packet. Dice the remaining cabbage and place in the bottom of the casserole. Add the cabbage rolls, being sure to place them seam side down. Mix together the tomato juice, beef broth, salt, pepper, garlic and brown sugar and pour sauce over all. Cover and bake at 325 degrees for 2 to 2 1/2 hours. Even though this recipe serves eight, I recommend you make the whole batch. It is a great dish reheated and freezes well.

:cheers2: 1 large Savoy Cabbage, 250ml of double cream and 4 good rashers of quality smoked bacon, not the shitty chemical smoked stuff. Chop the bacon into small lardons (bacon bits) place in the oven or under the grill for around 5 minutes or untill crispy (not burnt). Finely slice the cabbage (no more than a cm in width) and place in salted boiling water until tender, drain well and place in a pan on medium heat, add the lardons and the cream, allow the cream to reduce fully into the cabbage (there should be no loose cream left slopping about) season with some sea salt and good white pepper. Goes really well with red meat and red wine sauce. serves about 8.
1 whole red cabbage, again finely slice the cabbage, heat up a good table spoon of duck or goose fat in a big pan on a medium heat, add the cabbage to the duck fat allow to simmer stirring occasionally, when the cabbage has absorbed the fat add half a bottle of wine 1 cinnamon stick, a few star annisse, a few bay leaves, some redcurrant jelly and half an orange, zested. Cover with greaseproof paper and cook on a low heat for around 2-3 hours, stirring occasionally adding more wine if neccesary. cook untill cabbage is tender and most of the wine has reduced. Again serves around 8 people and is good with red meats, especially lamb and venison. This one has a christmassy taste to it also. If you get round to trying all these recipies tell me what you thought.

 

mmmmm love me some shredded cabbage in tacos.
Pickled cabbage is fantastic in Gorditas. especially spicy pickled cabbage. ground meat with cabbage in tacos is great too.
