German Creamed Cabbage Recipe Recipe For Banana

CREAMED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Place the bacon in a large, deep skillet, and cook over medium-high heat, turning occasionally, until evenly browned, about 10 minutes. Remove the bacon slices to cool.
• Whisk the butter, flour, and salt into the drippings in the same pan. Stir in the cabbage, and cook, stirring occasionally, over medium heat until cabbage is tender, about 15 minutes. Crumble the bacon; stir the bacon pieces and sour cream into the cabbage mixture.

CREAMED CABBAGE

Steps:

• As the size of a head of cabbage can vary, I've suggested some ingredients with ranges to accommodate different sized heads of cabbage. Adjust and use the ingredients according to size and taste. If you use a lot more bacon than what is called for, consider removing some of the extra bacon drippings so that the dish doesn't become greasy.
• Wash the cabbage head and remove the first layer or two of exterior leaves (discard) and the core. Thinly slice.
• Halve the onion and cut each half into 1/2" wide slices.
• Cut the bacon slices into 1/2"-1" pieces.
• Add the bacon to a cold, large/deep pot and brown over medium heat. Remove bacon from the pot and set aside. Retain melted bacon fat in the pot.
• Increase heat to medium-high and add onion. Brown quickly until golden on the edges, but not very soft, stirring frequently.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add the cabbage to the pot. Stir to mix. Pour 1/4 cup of water over cabbage and cover with a lid.
• Stir occasionally and check the bottom of the pan to make sure there is still water there. If not, add more water until the bottom of the pot is no longer dry. Cook until just tender-crisp (approx. 10 min).
• Remove the lid. Add the butter, half and half, and parmesan. Stir well. With the lid off, simmer on low until sauce thickens, stirring frequently.
• Once the sauce has reached your desired thickness, add the bacon back to the pot, and salt and (white) pepper to taste. Stir well. Remove from heat and serve.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Bring 1 inch salted water to a boil in a Dutch oven or large pot. Add cabbage. Cover, and steam, stirring occasionally, until tender, about 5 minutes. Drain, and let cool slightly. Squeeze out excess water using a kitchen towel.
• Melt butter in a medium saucepan over medium heat. Stir in flour, and cook until bubbling but not browning, 1 to 2 minutes. Slowly whisk in milk. Cook, stirring, until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; add 1/4 cup cheese and the lemon zest. Immediately fold cabbage into sauce. Season with salt and pepper.
• Spoon mixture into a shallow (6-cup) casserole dish. Sprinkle with remaining tablespoon cheese. Bake until bubbling, 30 to 35 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes before serving.

• *NOTE: to freeze- make ahead or re-heat left overs: compliments of Chef Marie Alice:* I froze half of this when I originally made it. This freezes excellently and if anything tastes even better after! I reheated it by melting a little butter in a skillet and then crumbling the partially thawed casserole into it, cooking and stirring until it was heated through.
