MICROWAVE RED CABBAGE WITH BACON AND CARAWAY SEEDS



Microwave Red Cabbage with Bacon and Caraway Seeds image

Braised cabbage is a common German side dish, but can often be overly rich. This lightened-up version could not be simpler, since everything from the bacon to the cabbage is cooked in the microwave. Caraway seeds lend an earthy note to the dish while apple cider vinegar keeps it from becoming too heavy. Pair the cabbage with an oven-roasted pork tenderloin for a hint of Germany at your dinner table.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Categories     side-dish

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 slices bacon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large shallot, thinly sliced (about 1/3 cup)
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 pounds red cabbage, cored, quartered and thinly sliced
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Line a large heatsafe plate with 4 sheets of paper towels. Lay the bacon slices side-by- side on top of the paper towels, then top with 2 additional sheets of paper towels. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Check the bacon to see if it is cooked through and crispy. If not, cook in 1-minute intervals until the bacon is crispy. Reserve.
  • Put the butter, shallot and caraway seeds into a large heatsafe glass bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute to melt the butter. Add the cabbage, apple cider vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the melted butter and stir to combine. Cover with a vented lid or plastic wrap with 6 small holes poked in it. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Carefully uncover and stir the cabbage. Cover again and cook, stirring every 5 minutes, until the largest parts of the cabbage are wilted and tender, 10 to 15 additional minutes.
  • Use a pair of tongs to transfer the cabbage to a serving platter; discard any extra liquid in the bowl. Roughly chop the bacon and sprinkle over the cabbage. Serve immediately.

CREAMY PASTA WITH BACON AND RED CABBAGE



Creamy Pasta With Bacon and Red Cabbage image

Smoky bacon and cabbage are a classic Eastern European combination, but tossing them with pasta and a bit of cream takes them in a heartier direction. Use a short, curvy shape, such as cavatappi or fusilli, that can catch the silky sauce in its crooks. Red cabbage is called for here, but regular green or Savoy cabbage would also work well. Top any leftovers with a fried egg and, of course, extra grated cheese.

Provided by Colu Henry

Categories     dinner, weekday, pastas, main course

Time 30m

Yield 4 to 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 pound cavatappi, fusilli or other short, curvy pasta
Kosher salt
2 tablespoons olive oil
8 ounces thick-cut bacon, sliced into 1/4-inch pieces
1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
4 cups thinly sliced red cabbage, from about 1/2 small cabbage, cut into pieces no larger than 3 inches wide
Black pepper
1 cup heavy cream
1/4 cup grated pecorino or Parmesan, plus more for serving
2 tablespoons mixed chopped fresh herbs, such as Italian parsley, thyme or oregano, for garnish (optional)

Steps:

  • Cook the pasta in a large pot of well-salted boiling water (2 heaping tablespoons kosher salt to about 7 quarts water) according to package instructions until it's just short of al dente. Reserve 1 cup pasta water, and drain.
  • Meanwhile, heat the olive oil over medium heat in a 12-inch skillet, preferably with sides. Add the bacon and cook until crisp, about 5 to 6 minutes, then remove with a slotted spoon and set aside on a plate lined with paper towels.
  • Add the onion to the pan, toss to coat in the rendered bacon fat and cook until translucent, about 1 to 2 minutes. Add the cabbage, toss to combine and cook until the cabbage is tender but maintains its vibrant color, about 3 to 5 minutes more. Season with salt and pepper.
  • Turn the heat to low and add the pasta to the skillet along with the bacon, heavy cream and grated cheese tossing to coat until the pasta is glossy with sauce and it thickens slightly, about 1 to 2 minutes. If you want the pasta saucier, add in 1/4 to 1 cup pasta water and toss until the desired consistency is reached. Top with the mixed herbs and pass grated cheese at the table, if desired.
