Cabbage. A cheap, healthy vegetable. But what on earth do you cook with it?
You can make cole slaw, certainly. (Thank you America!)
But other than that, there are few options. There are certain chinese dishes with cabbage in them, I've heard. But the list of hot dishes with cabbage is short.
Here is a recipy for a cabbage stew from the west coast of Sweden.
It is basically a de-constructed version of 'kåldolmar'. A hidden gem of the Swedish cuisine!
INGREDIENTS:
250 grams of ground beef
250 grams of ground pork
1 kilo of cabbage (cut into pieces approx. 2 cm across)
Approx. half a litre of veal stock
1 teaspoon of chinese soy
One onion, finely chopped
Allspice, to taste
White pepper, to taste
Salt
Butter or margarine for frying
Fry the ground meat in a cast iron vessel, on high heat. When it's starting to brown, add the onion. Sprinkle a few pinches of allspice on it, and some salt. Turn the heat down to low.
Add the cabbage. It will reduce quite a lot when you fry it.
Fry the mix of ground meat, onion and cabbage together until the cabbage has shrunk down.
Add half a tablespoon of ground allspice, some white pepper, and the veal stock. Also, put the soy sauce in there.
If the stock does not cover the mix of cabbage and meat, add water. It should cover it barely.
This should boil on low heat under a lid for at least 20 minutes. Cabbage is season sensitive, so the time you have to boil it may vary.
