This is one of my greatest hits for a potluck dish at church suppers. If you use some red cabbage, it will have very festive colors, light pink with green. It looks so pretty. -Winifred Winch, Wetmore, Michigan

BAKED GIANT WHITE BEANS WITH CABBAGE



Baked Giant White Beans With Cabbage image

This slow-baked bean and cabbage dish is luxurious in both taste and texture. The limas become soft and pillowy after their long, slow simmer, while releasing some of their starch into the bean broth; the cabbage sweetens over time and almost melts into the velvety broth. Baked beans with cabbage traditionally contain a ham bone or some salt pork for flavor, but I get that rich umami flavor with Parmesan rinds.

Time 3h

Yield 6 servings.

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 large onion, chopped
1 large carrot, finely chopped
1 pound cabbage, cored and chopped or shredded
4 garlic cloves, minced
1 pound large white beans or dried lima beans
7 cups water
A bouquet garni consisting of 2 Parmesan rinds, 4 parsley sprigs, 2 thyme sprigs and a bay leaf
Salt and a generous amount of freshly ground pepper
1/4 cup chopped fresh parsley (more to taste)

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 325 degrees.
  • Heat the olive oil over medium heat in a large, ovenproof casserole and add the onion and carrots. Cook, stirring often, until the onion is tender, about 5 minutes, and stir in the cabbage and half the garlic. Cook, stirring, for another 5 minutes, until the cabbage has wilted.
  • Add the beans, water, bouquet garni and salt and pepper. Bring to a simmer, cover and place in the oven. Bake 1 hour and add the remaining garlic; taste and adjust salt. Return to the oven and bake for another 1 to 1 1/2 hours, until the beans are very tender and creamy. Taste and adjust salt. Remove the bouquet garni. Stir in the chopped parsley. Serve hot or warm.

GERMAN CABBAGE CASSEROLE - KOHL UND HACKFLEISCH



German Cabbage Casserole - Kohl Und Hackfleisch image

Cabbage and meat mildly seasoned with garlic and onions in a creamy cheese sauce and topped with breadcrumbs for a pretty presentation! A real comfort food. Even those who say they HATE cabbage will eat this and like it! I have even made this without the meat- using bulgur and veggie broth. Here is how: Just replace the meat with the same amount of bulgur- (for 1 lb of meat sub 1 cup bulgur) you will want to soak the bulgur according to the instructions on the package- if you bought it in bulk here is how... Bring 2 cups of veggie broth ( can use bouillon and water) per 1 cup bulgur When broth is boiling stir in bulgur. Cover and simmer about 15 minutes or until bulgur is soft. All the broth should be absorbed. Fluff the bulgur with a fork as you would rice and add to your recipe. I have used beef, pork, turkey and chicken with great results too. *See NOTE for freezing, make ahead and left over tips*

Time 1h

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 8

1 cup bulgur (2.5 cups cooked, also known as cracked wheat) or 1 lb ground chicken, have all worked well
1 medium onion
1 garlic clove, minced, more if desired
2 cups cheddar cheese, shredded
1/2 cup sour cream
1 medium cabbage, chopped
1/2 cup unseasoned breadcrumbs
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Brown meat, onion and garlic until meat is no longer pink and onion has turned clear.
  • Drain grease from pan and discard.
  • Add cabbage and cover.
  • Cook until cabbage is clear.
  • Add cheese and sour cream mixing well.
  • Pour all into greased casserole and top with bread crumbs.
  • Bake at 375 for 40 minutes.
  • *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.

Tips:

  • Use fresh, high-quality ingredients. This will make a big difference in the flavor of your dish.
  • Don't overcook the cabbage and beans. They should be tender but still have a slight crunch.
  • Season the dish to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices as desired.
  • Serve the dish hot or cold. It's delicious either way.

Conclusion:

German-style cabbage and beans is a simple but flavorful dish that is perfect for a weeknight meal. It's also a great way to use up leftover cabbage and beans. With its simple ingredients and easy preparation, this dish is sure to become a family favorite.
