Braised Beets And Red Cabbage Recipes

CHEF JOHN'S BRAISED RED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Melt butter in a large skillet over medium heat; cook cabbage in the hot butter until it begins to soften, 1 to 2 minutes. Season with salt. Pour in water, red wine, and red wine vinegar. Stir to combine. Mix in sugar and caraway seeds.
• Continue to cook and stir until liquid has evaporated and cabbage is tender, about 5 minutes. If cabbage isn't quite tender, add a splash of water and continue cooking a few more minutes.

BRAISED BEETS

Steps:

• Peel about a pound of beets and chop them into 1-inch cubes.
• In a large saucepan, combine a couple of tablespoons of butter with the vegetables and stock to cover (.5 cup or more).
• Add a splash of white wine and some freshly chopped tarragon; bring to a boil.
• Cover and adjust the heat so the mixture simmers.
• Cook until the vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

Steps:

• Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the hard core and shred.
• Heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan, add the onion and fry over a low heat until it begins to soften; add the cabbage, beetroot and all remaining ingredients, seasoning to taste.
• Cover the pan tightly and keeping an eye on the liquid (there should be enough at all times to prevent sticking, but no excess at the end of cooking) cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 ½ - 2 hours, until soft and reduced in bulk; adjust seasoning if required.
• NOTE: This can also be made in advance and reheated; it can also be cooked in a casserole dish in a low oven.

• Increase heat to medium-high; cook until liquid is evaporated, 5-10 minutes. Roll sausages to edge of skillet and add onion to center. Cook, turning sausages often and stirring onion occasionally, until sausages are browned and onion is soft, 5-8 minutes. Transfer sausages to a plate.
