Time 1h

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 16

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, quartered lengthwise, then sliced thin across the grain
1 large green bell pepper, quartered lengthwise, seeded and sliced thin across the grain
1 large red bell pepper, quartered lengthwise, seeded and sliced thin across the grain
Salt to taste
1/2 medium or 1 small head cabbage, cored and shredded (about 4 cups)
2 serrano chiles or jalapeños, seeded and minced
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 to 2 teaspoons harissa, to taste, or 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon cayenne
1 teaspoon lightly toasted coriander seeds, ground
1 teaspoon lightly toasted cumin seeds, ground
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds, ground
1 28-ounce can chopped tomatoes, with juice
Freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley or cilantro, or a mix
6 eggs

Steps:

  • Heat oil over medium heat in a large heavy casserole or skillet, or in an earthenware casserole set on a flame tamer. Add the onion and cook, stirring often, until golden, about 10 minutes. If they begin to stick to the pan add a generous pinch of salt. Add another generous pinch of salt and the peppers and cook, stirring often, until they begin to soften, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the cabbage, chiles, coriander seeds, cumin and caraway and cook, stirring, until cabbage has wilted, about 5 minutes. Stir in the harissa or cayenne, salt and pepper, stir together and add the tomatoes. Bring to a simmer, cover partially, reduce heat to medium-low and cook, stirring from time to time, until tomatoes have cooked down and the mixture is thick and fragrant, about 20 to 25 minutes. Stir in all but 2 teaspoons of the parsley or cilantro, taste and adjust seasonings.
  • With the back of your spoon, make 6 depressions in the vegetables. Break an egg into each depression. Cover and cook for 5 to 6 minutes, until the eggs are set. Sprinkle the eggs with salt, pepper and the remaining parsley and serve.

SAUTEED CABBAGE

This is very yummy! Red cabbage has a much better flavor than green, so it is better to use. Any spices you want can be used, but salt and pepper is simplest.

PICKLED CABBAGE AND PEPPERS



Pickled Cabbage and Peppers image

This relish from "The Joy of Pickling" has replaced sauerkraut in our house. Sour, sweet, and spicy, it's great for topping hot dogs or as a side with sausage. Serve hot or cold. Editted to add: Feel free to substitute other commercial vinegars. I often use white vinegar or apple cider vinegar, as white wine vinegar can be a bit expensive.

Time 40m

Yield 4 pints

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 lbs cabbage, cored and shredded
5 cups bell peppers, cut into thin strips (a mix of red and yellow is pretty)
1/4 cup pickling salt
1 cup sugar
1 1/2 cups white wine vinegar
1/2 teaspoon hot pepper flakes
4 teaspoons mustard seeds
6 garlic cloves, minced

Steps:

  • In a large bowl or cork, toss the cabbage and peppers with the salt. Cover and let stand in a cool place for 8-12 hours.
  • In a non-reactive saucepan, combine the sugar and vinegar. Bring to a boil, then let it cool.
  • Rinse the cabbage, and drain it well. Toss with the pepper flakes, mustard seeds and garlic. Pack the vegetable mixture firmly into pint mason jars. (the recipe as written generally makes about 4 pints. If you find you need more jars, you may not have packed firmly enough - and you'll need more vinegar mixture as a result.) Pour the vinegar mixture over the vegetables. Close the jars with hot two-piece caps.
  • Process the jars for 20 minutes in a boiling water bath. Store the cooled jars in a cool, dry, dark place for at least 3 weeks before eating the cabbage.

RED PEPPER AND CABBAGE PICKLE



Red Pepper and Cabbage Pickle image

My grandmother always made this to eat as a side salad with sandwiches or cold meat. I have seen similar recipes called Amish Pickled Coleslaw. It is a little extra work with the soaking but it is a nice change from other pickle or relish recipes. Add a jalapeno pepper to each jar if you like heat.

Time 10h15m

Yield 48

Number Of Ingredients 11

2 heads cabbage, finely shredded
3 tablespoons salt
4 cups water
4 cups vinegar
1 ½ cups white sugar
1 cup vegetable oil
1 tablespoon ground turmeric
1 tablespoon celery seed
1 tablespoon mustard seeds
10 onions, chopped
10 sweet red peppers, chopped

Steps:

  • Place cabbage in a large non-reactive bowl or plastic food-safe bucket. Sprinkle salt over cabbage and toss to combine. Cover with plastic wrap or a lid. Let soak in the refrigerator, 8 hours to overnight.
  • Squeeze out liquid from the cabbage; drain.
  • Combine water, vinegar, sugar, oil, turmeric, celery seed, and mustard seeds in a large pot; bring to a boil. Stir in drained cabbage, onions, and red pepper. Bring back up to a boil. Reduce heat and simmer until onions are very tender, about 45 minutes.
  • Sterilize 6 quart jars and lids in boiling water for 5 minutes. Pack cabbage mixture into hot, sterilized jars, filling to within 1 inch of the top. Run a clean knife around the insides of the jars to remove any air bubbles. Top with lids and screw on rings.
  • Place a rack in the bottom of a large pot and fill halfway with water. Bring to a boil and lower jars 2 inches apart into the boiling water using a holder. Pour in more boiling water if necessary to cover jars by 1 inch. Bring the water to a rolling boil, cover the pot, and process for 25 minutes.
  • Remove the jars from the pot and place onto a cloth-covered or wood surface, several inches apart, until cool. Press the top of each lid with a finger, ensuring that the seal is tight (lid does not move up or down at all). Store in a cool, dark area.
