Creamy Red And Green Cabbage Recipes

CREAMY RED AND GREEN CABBAGE

Steps:

• Trim both red and green cabbages, discarding tough outer leaves and core. Slice into 1/4-inch-thick slices. Bring a large stockpot of water to a boil; add 2 teaspoons salt. Cook red cabbage 1 minute. Using a slotted spoon, transfer cabbage to a colander, and drain. Repeat with green cabbage. Pat cabbage dry, and set aside.
• Melt butter in a large skillet set over medium heat. Add shallot and celery seeds; cook until fragrant, about 2 minutes. Add cream; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; simmer until cream has slightly thickened, about 5 minutes.
• Add cabbage to skillet, and season with salt and pepper. Cook cabbage until heated through, 3 to 5 minutes. Serve immediately.

WARM RED AND GREEN CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• Core, shred, wash and drain the cabbage. Toss it in a bowl with 3 teaspoons of salt and let stand for 30 minutes. Drain well. Meanwhile, cook the bacon until crisp, remove and set aside. Place 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat in a skillet and discard the rest.
• Heat the fat over medium heat until hot. Add the cabbage and cook, turning it constantly, just until hot and slightly wilted, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat and stir in the remaining 2 teaspoons salt, caraway seeds, sugar and vinegar. Divide among 6 plates, top with bacon and serve.

GREENS AND RED CABBAGE GRATIN

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Fill a bowl with ice water. When the water comes to a boil, salt generously and add the greens. Blanch for about two minutes, until tender and bright green. Transfer to the ice water, then drain and squeeze out water. Chop coarsely.
• Preheat the oven to 375 degrees. Oil a 2-quart gratin. Heat 2 tablespoons of the olive oil in a large, heavy nonstick skillet over medium heat, and add the onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender and translucent, about five minutes. Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute, until fragrant. Stir in the cabbage and about 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook, stirring, for 10 minutes, until the cabbage is tender and fragrant but still has some texture and color. Stir in the chopped blanched greens. Add salt and pepper to taste.
• Beat the eggs in a bowl, and stir in the cooked vegetables, parsley, rice and cheese. Stir together well and scrape into the baking dish. Sprinkle the breadcrumbs over the top, and drizzle on the remaining olive oil. Bake 30 to 40 minutes, until firm and browned on the top. Serve hot or warm.
