I started making this when I worked at a fine dining restaurant in Pittsburgh. This would be great with some peppercorn crusted pork or even salmon.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cabbage huge head (red or green, depending on what you like)
1/2 c red wine (please use what you would drink with!)
1/4 c stock (any kind you normally use)
1/2 c dried currants or raisins
1/4 c orange juice, fresh (about the juice of an orange)
1 Tbsp orange zest (zest before you juice so you only use one orange)
1/4 c butter
salt to taste
pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Peel outer leaves from cabbage (save for cabbage rolls) and wash cabbage. Cut in quarters and shred. Prep the orange as well.
  • 2. Put currants (or raisins) in a bowl and pour the red wine over the top. Let set for about 2-3 minutes.
  • 3. Add stock and orange juice to large pot (you'll need it when you start anyway) and bring to a simmer.
  • 4. Add the cabbage, raisins (and remaining wine they were soaked in) and the orange zest. Stir often with tongs (to make sure you turn the cabbage at the bottom)
  • 5. Cook until the cabbage is almost done (to your liking) then add the salt, pepper, and finish (toss in and coat the cabbage) with butter.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Napa cabbage is the traditional choice for drunken cabbage, but you can also use green cabbage or Savoy cabbage. Just be sure to slice it thinly so that it cooks evenly.
  • Don't be afraid to use a variety of vegetables: In addition to cabbage, you can also add other vegetables to your drunken cabbage, such as carrots, celery, onions, and peppers. This will add flavor and texture to the dish.
  • Use a good quality rice wine: The rice wine is an important ingredient in drunken cabbage, so be sure to use a good quality one. Look for a rice wine that is dry and slightly sweet.
  • Don't overcook the cabbage: Cabbage is a delicate vegetable, so it's important not to overcook it. Cook the cabbage until it is just tender, but still has a bit of a crunch.
  • Serve drunken cabbage with rice or noodles: Drunken cabbage is a great dish to serve with rice or noodles. The rice or noodles will help to soak up the delicious sauce.

Conclusion:

Drunken cabbage is a delicious and easy-to-make dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's a great way to use up leftover cabbage, and it's also a healthy and affordable dish. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy meal, give drunken cabbage a try.
