Butternut Squash And Cabbage Skillet Recipes

SQUASH & CABBAGE SABZI

Steps:

• Heat the oil in a frying pan and add the nigella seeds. When they start popping, add the ginger and garlic, and cook for 1 min. Add the squash, cabbage, spices and 1 tsp salt, then mix everything together well with a splash of water, covering the pan with a lid. Leave to steam for 7-8 mins over a low heat.
• After this time, lift the lid to check if the squash is cooked. If not, replace the lid quickly and leave to cook a little longer. Add the lime juice and check for seasoning before serving with dhal, chutney and rice or roti, if you like.

SAUTéED SHREDDED CABBAGE AND SQUASH

Steps:

• If serving the vegetables with grains, begin cooking the grains of your choice first.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet or a wok and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until it begins to soften, about 3 minutes. Add the shredded winter squash and the garlic and a generous pinch of salt. Cook, stirring often, until not quite tender, about 10 minutes, and add the remaining oil, the cabbage, sage, thyme, and salt and pepper to taste. Continue to cook, stirring often, until the vegetables are tender and fragrant, 8 to 10 minutes. Serve with grains or use the vegetables for the gratin below.
• If making a gratin, preheat the oven to 375 degrees and oil a 2-quart baking dish or gratin dish. In a large bowl, whisk together the eggs and milk. Add salt to taste (about 1/2 teaspoon) and freshly ground pepper, and stir in the cooked grains (I used cooked purple barley, and it was a beautiful and tasty combination with lots of texture) and the cooked vegetables. Add the cheeses and stir everything together, then scrape into the prepared baking dish.
• Bake 40 to 45 minutes, or until the top is lightly browned and the gratin is set. Allow to cool for 15 minutes or longer before cutting into wedges and serving. The gratin is good hot, warm or at room temperature, and you can cut it into smaller pieces to serve as an hors d'oeuvre.

INSIDE-OUT STUFFED CABBAGE

Steps:

• In a Dutch oven, cook and crumble beef with squash and pepper over medium-high heat until no longer pink; drain. Stir in soup mix, brown sugar, V8 juice, water and cabbage; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer, covered, until cabbage is tender, 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally. , Stir in rice; return to a boil. Simmer, covered, 5 minutes. Remove from heat; let stand, covered, until rice is tender, about 5 minutes.

SKILLET COLLARDS AND WINTER SQUASH

Steps:

• Combine the barley and water in a medium saucepan, add salt to taste and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat and simmer 50 minutes to an hour (longer for purple barley), until the barley is tender. There should still be plenty of water in the pot. Place a strainer over a bowl and drain the barley. Measure out 1 cup of the cooking water. Transfer the barley to a serving bowl and keep warm.
• Heat 1 tablespoon of the oil over medium-high heat and sear the squash for 5 to 10 minutes, until it is lightly colored. Add the greens and cook, stirring, until they are wilted, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic, salt, pepper and sage and cook, stirring, for a couple of minutes, until the mixture is fragrant, then add the stock or barley water and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat to low, cover and simmer 10 minutes, until the squash and greens are tender. Add lemon juice to taste, drizzle on the remaining olive oil, adjust seasoning and serve with the barley.

CABBAGE AND HAMBURGER SKILLET

Steps:

• Brown the ground beef dry in a large non stick pan.
• While the beef is cooking remove the stem from the cabbage and quarter it. You can leave it quartered if wanted, I do from time to time but I like it better when I slice the cabbage. I usually take the quarters and slice it into relatively thin 1/2" strips. It cooks quicker that way.
• After the beef has been browned add the cabbage, can of stewed tomatoes and the soy sauce. Cover and simmer for 30 minutes or until the cabbage is done. Don't add any water as the cabbage will release plenty as it cooks. Enjoy!

BROCCOLI AND BUTTERNUT SQUASH CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Place butternut squash in a 9x13-inch baking dish with about 1/2 cup water. Cover with foil.
• Bake squash in the preheated oven until soft, about 1 hour.
• While the squash is baking, bring 2 cups water and brown rice to a boil in a saucepan. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until rice is tender and liquid has been absorbed, 45 to 50 minutes.
• When rice is about halfway finished, heat oil in a skillet over medium-high heat; stir in onion and garlic. Saute until the onion has softened and turned translucent, about 5 minutes. Reduce heat to medium and add garbanzo beans, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, carrots, zucchini, bell peppers, coconut milk, and soy sauce. Stir to combine, cover, and simmer for about 30 minutes.
• Combine rice, vegetables, and squash in the baking dish. Add basil and stir to combine. Return to the oven and bake until set, about 5 more minutes.
