BOILED CABBAGE



Boiled Cabbage image

This simple, but deeply flavorful side is the perfect accompaniment to roasted pork or chicken, sausages or your St. Patty's Day corned beef. The crinkly leaves of savoy cabbage hold up well to this cooking method and the buttery sauce readily clings to them, but you could use regular green cabbage, too.

Categories     side-dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 to 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 slices thick-cut bacon (about 4 ounces), coarsely chopped
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 1/2 cups low-sodium chicken broth
Pinch freshly grated nutmeg
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
1 medium head savoy cabbage (about 2 1/2 pounds), cored and chopped into 1- to 2-inch pieces

Steps:

  • Scatter the bacon in a large Dutch oven and cook over medium heat, stirring occasionally, until crisp, 6 to 8 minutes. Transfer the bacon to a paper towel-lined plate using a slotted spoon and set aside.
  • Remove all but about 1 tablespoon of the bacon fat from the pot and add 2 tablespoons of the butter. When the butter has melted, add the broth, nutmeg, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a generous amount of pepper. Simmer for about 2 minutes to blend the flavors.
  • Add the cabbage, bring the liquid back to a simmer over low heat and cover the pot. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is very tender, about 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, if needed. Melt the remaining 2 tablespoons butter in a microwave or a small pot and drizzle over the cabbage. Just before serving, top with the reserved bacon.

Provided by Jehancancook

Categories     Vegetable

Time 25m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1/2 head cabbage, finely shredded
1 carrot, shredded
2 garlic cloves, crushed
1/2 medium onion, finely chopped
1/2 teaspoon fresh ginger, crushed
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon white vinegar
1 tablespoon canola oil

Steps:

  • Heat canola oil in a saucepan over medium heat. Add onion and cook until soft. Add ginger and garlic, cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently. Add carrots, cabbage, salt and black pepper; Cook for 10 minutes, stirring occasionally. Next add the vinegar and stir to combine. Remove from heat. Serve warm.
  • Notes: I prefer the cabbage to be crisp but if you prefer it to be softer you can add about 1/4 vegetable or chicken stock, and cook for an additional 10 minutes or until it is the texture that you desire. If using stock, be sure to adjust the amount of salt in the dish since stocks do tend to have sodium.

Tips:

  • Choose the right bacon: For boiled bacon with cabbage and carrots, it's best to use a thick-cut bacon. This will help the bacon to stay juicy and flavorful during the cooking process.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot: When boiling the bacon, be sure to not overcrowd the pot. This will prevent the bacon from cooking evenly.
  • Season the water: To add extra flavor to the bacon, season the water with salt, pepper, and garlic powder before boiling.
  • Simmer, don't boil: Once the water comes to a boil, reduce the heat to low and simmer the bacon for 15-20 minutes. This will help the bacon to cook through without becoming tough.
  • Save the bacon fat: After boiling the bacon, be sure to save the bacon fat. This can be used to add flavor to other dishes, such as fried potatoes or scrambled eggs.
  • Add the vegetables towards the end: When adding the cabbage and carrots to the pot, wait until the bacon is almost fully cooked. This will help the vegetables to retain their color and nutrients.
  • Serve immediately: Boiled bacon with cabbage and carrots is best served immediately. This will help the bacon to stay crispy and the vegetables to stay tender.

Conclusion:

Boiled bacon with cabbage and carrots is a classic dish that is easy to make and packed with flavor. By following these tips, you can make sure that your boiled bacon with cabbage and carrots turns out perfect every time.
