Yield Serves 8

Number Of Ingredients 9

a 2 1/2-pound cabbage (preferably with dark-green outer leaves intact)
1 pound parsnips (about 3 large)
1 onion (about 1/2 pound)
1 pound russet (baking) potatoes (about 2 medium)
3 1/2 tablespoons unsalted butter
2 teaspoons salt
freshly grated nutmeg to taste
5 ounces fresh Robiola cheese* (about 150 grams) or mascarpone cheese* (about 2/3 cup)
*available at specialty foods shops

Steps:

  • Keeping cabbage whole, cut out and discard core and any discolored outer leaves. Beginning at top of head and working with 1 leaf at a time, remove 6 outer leaves, rolling each one back on itself until it can be loosened intact from head, and reserve. Cut remaining cabbage head into 8 wedges and cut each wedge crosswise into 3 pieces. Separate layers of cabbage pieces. Peel parsnips and diagonally cut into 1/8-inch-thick slices. Chop onion. Peel potatoes and cut crosswise into 1/8-inch-thick slices.
  • Bring a large kettle of salted water to a boil and cook reserved cabbage leaves until just tender, 3 to 5 minutes. With a slotted spoon transfer cabbage leaves to a kitchen towel to drain. Add cabbage pieces to boiling water and cook until crisp-tender, about 3 minutes. With slotted spoon transfer pieces to a colander to drain and transfer to a bowl. Add potatoes to boiling water and cook until just tender, about 4 minutes. With slotted spoon transfer potatoes to colander to drain and transfer to another bowl. Add parsnips to boiling water and cook until just tender, about 3 minutes. Drain parsnips in colander.
  • In a 12-inch heavy skillet cook onion in 3 tablespoons butter over moderately low heat, stirring, until softened. Add cabbage pieces, salt, nutmeg, and pepper to taste and cook mixture over moderate heat, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender, about 10 minutes. If any liquid remains in skillet, cook mixture over high heat until liquid is evaporated, about 1 minute.
  • If using Robiola, cut into pieces. Stir Robiola or mascarpone into cabbage mixture and cook over moderate heat, stirring, until cheese is melted.
  • Preheat oven to 375°F.
  • Butter a 2-quart ovenproof round serving dish (about 8 1/2 to 9 inches across and 2 1/2 inches deep) and line with cabbage leaves, letting leaves overhang 1 to 2 inches. Arrange half of potatoes in serving dish and season with salt and pepper. Top potatoes in dish with half of cabbage mixture and arrange half of parsnips over cabbage. Repeat layering with remaining potatoes, cabbage mixture, and parsnips, arranging last layer of parsnips decoratively around edge of casserole and leaving cabbage exposed in center. Dot parsnips with remaining 1/2 tablespoon butter. Fold cabbage leaves over parsnips and cover tightly with a double layer of foil. Casserole may be prepared up to this point 1 day ahead and chilled. Bring casserole to room temperature before proceeding. Bake casserole until heated through and bubbling, about 1 hour.
  • Let casserole stand 10 minutes before serving.

SALMON ON A BED OF CREAMY CABBAGE



Salmon on a Bed Of Creamy Cabbage image

Provided by Moira Hodgson

Categories     appetizer, main course

Time 45m

Yield 8 first-course or 4 main-course servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

1/2 head green cabbage (about 1 1/2 pounds)
Sea salt
8 tablespoons unsalted butter
Freshly ground white pepper to taste
6 tablespoons heavy cream
1 shallot, minced
1/4 cup dry white wine, like chardonnay
1/4 cup best quality sherry vinegar
1 1/2 pounds fresh salmon fillet, skin attached but scaled, cut into 4 or 8 equal portions
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
Fresh chives, snipped with scissors, for garnish
Handful of whole chervil or flat-leaf parsley leaves for garnish

Steps:

  • Trim the cabbage, discarding any tough outer leaves and the inner core. Slice by hand into thin slivers. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil and blanch the cabbage (cook for one minute). Remove and drain well.
  • In a large skillet, combine the cabbage with two tablespoons of the butter and cook over low heat for two to three minutes. Season, cover and cook until slightly wilted but still crunchy, about five minutes. Stir in five tablespoons of the cream and continue cooking until warmed through, one to two minutes. Set aside and keep warm.
  • Prepare the sauce. In a small saucepan combine the shallot with a tablespoon of butter and a pinch of salt. Cook over low heat until soft and translucent, three to four minutes. Add the wine and vinegar and bring to a boil. Cook until reduced by two-thirds, about two to three minutes. Remove from the heat. Gradually whisk in the remaining tablespoon of cream and five tablespoons of butter. Whisk until all the butter is incorporated and the sauce is smooth and creamy. Taste for seasoning. Transfer to the top of a double boiler set over gently simmering water. Cover loosely and keep warm over low heat.
  • Prepare the salmon with a sharp knife. Score the salmon in a crisscross pattern, cutting through the skin and just slightly into the flesh. Generously season both sides of the salmon.
  • In a large nonstick skillet, heat the oil over moderately high heat. When hot, put the salmon fillets skin side down in the skillet. Cook without turning until the skin is very crisp, two to three minutes (cooking time will depend on the thickness of the salmon). With a wide spatula, turn the salmon over and cook it barely 30 seconds. Leave the salmon in the pan and remove it from the heat. The salmon will continue the cooking process as you dress the plates.
  • Spoon the cabbage into the center of four to eight warmed dinner plates. Top with a slice of salmon, skin side up, and spoon the warm sauce around the cabbage. Garnish with the herbs and serve immediately.
