SMOKED SAUSAGE AND CABBAGE
I concocted this recipe while trying to decide how to cook cabbage besides the same ole way. My husband, KT, loved it that I didn't even have to ask him to rate it. He went back for thirds! I used 1/2 cabbage and wished there was more, so next time I'll use whole head. Great flavor w/the sausage grease soaked up in the cabbage. Arteries watch out, here comes some real southern cooking!

SMOKED HAM HOCK AND CABBAGE SOUP
Got this recipe from an Amish neighbor years ago, but she doesn't remember where she got it. I have had this at the Hoss's steakhouse chain as an appetizer or with a big salad.This is more about the broth than the ham or cabbage. Be careful of the salt as some ham hocks can be very salty, but on the plus side they are available at any grocery store.

TEA-SMOKED PORK AND TENDER CABBAGE STIR-FRY
The wok has many uses. Since Chinese homes don't have ovens, cooks learned to use the wok and its lid as an oven and a smoker. The Hunan Chinese especially took to this method; their cuisine is known for its inclusion of smoked meats such as duck and pork. The smoking mixture of sugar and tea leaves provides the smoky flavor, while the rice provides the fuel for the smoke. Once smoked, the pork is stir-fried with cabbage in a mild spicy sauce.

Steps:
- Place the pork in a 2-quart saucepan, add the water, ginger, green onions, sugar, and salt, and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat so the liquid is simmering, cover the pot, and simmer until the pork is almost cooked through, about 8 minutes. Drain the pork and set aside.
- Line the inside of a wok and the inside of its lid with aluminum foil. Make the smoking mixture: Stir the tea leaves, rice, sugar, and star anise together in the lined wok, then spread evenly over the bottom. Set a round rack over the smoking mixture, about 3 inches above the mixture, and set the pork on the center of the rack.
- Place the wok, uncovered, over high heat. When the rice mixture begins to smoke, cover the wok, reduce the heat to medium, and smoke until the pork turns a rich, deep brown, about 25 minutes. Turn off the heat and let stand for 5 minutes before removing the lid.
- Let the pork cool briefly, then cut into1/8-inch-thick slices. (Discard the smoking mixture and foil.) Clean the wok and heat it over high heat until hot. Add the oil and swirl to coat the sides. Add the garlic, ginger and chile and cook, stirring, until fragrant, about 30 seconds. Add the pork, cabbage, carrot, and bamboo shoots and stir-fry until the cabbage is wilted, about 1 minute.
- Add the chicken stock, soy sauce and chile garlic sauce and bring to a boil. Adjust the heat so the sauce is simmering, cover the wok, and simmer until the carrot is tender, about 3 minutes.
- Pour in the dissolved cornstarch and cook, stirring, until the sauce thickens slightly, about 30 seconds. Stir in the sesame oil, scoop onto a warm serving platter and serve hot.

SMOKED CABBAGE SLAW WITH CREAMY HORSERADISH
This slaw acquires its smoke flavor not through grilling the greens, but by cold smoking. The advantage is that you flavor the leaves with smoke without cooking them, so the cabbage remains audibly crisp. Cold smoking can be done on a grill or in a smoker, or even in your kitchen using a stove-top smoker or hand-held smoker. The secret is to smoke the shredded cabbage over a pan of ice to keep it from cooking. Horseradish and mustard fire up the traditional creamy mayonnaise dressing.

Steps:
- Set up your smoker following the manufacturer's instructions and heat to 225 degrees. Add applewood or hickory wood as specified by the manufacturer. If using a charcoal grill, set it up for indirect grilling, using half a chimney starter of coals instead of a full chimney. Add wood chips or chunks to the coals following the manufacturer's instructions.
- Meanwhile, peel and core the apple, then cut the cabbage, onion, apple and carrots into thin shreds on a mandolin, in a food processor fitted with a shredding or slicing disk, or with a chef's knife. Stir the raisins into the slaw. Working in batches if necessary, divide the mixture among 2 disposable 9-by-13-inch aluminum foil drip pans; spread in a loosely packed even layer. (Cabbage mixture should be no deeper than 1 inch.) Place each pan over another 9-by-13 aluminum pan of ice so the vegetables smoke without cooking.
- Transfer pans to the smoker or grill, cover and smoke until lightly bronzed with smoke but still raw, 10 to 15 minutes. Transfer smoked slaw mixture to a large bowl and repeat as necessary to smoke any remaining slaw.
- Meanwhile, make the dressing: Combine the mayonnaise, horseradish, vinegar, sugar, mustard and celery seed in another large bowl and whisk until the sugar is dissolved. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
- Stir the smoked vegetable mixture into the dressing; season to taste with salt, sugar and vinegar. Serve right away, or refrigerate, covered, up to a few hours before serving.
STOVE TOP SMOKED KIELBASA AND CABBAGE
I often make this for brunch -- it's a dish that's pretty easy to prepare and my brother and I both love it. I process my cabbage in the food processor and shred the cabbage about 3 or 4 times larger than I would for coleslaw. Using two canned chipotle peppers with the sauce that clings to them yields pretty good heat -- one is pretty much agreeable to everybody. This makes a very hearty meal.

CHEESE-STUFFED SMOKED PORK CHOPS ON WARM CABBAGE CARAWAY SLAW
Steps:
- Toss together cabbage, carrot, vinegar, sugar, caraway seeds, and salt in a bowl and let stand, tossing occasionally, 15 minutes.
- Holding a sharp small knife parallel to a work surface, cut a wide pocket in each chop, beginning at rounded edge and cutting through to bone. Divide cheese among pockets, packing it in and pressing chops flat. Pat chops dry and season with pepper.
- Heat 1 tablespoon oil in a wide 3- to 4-quart heavy pot over moderate heat until hot but not smoking, then cook slaw, tossing frequently, until cabbage is crisp-tender, 5 to 7 minutes.
- Heat remaining tablespoon oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking, then sauté chops, turning over once, until browned, 2 to 4 minutes total. Cover skillet and cook chops until just heated through and cheese is melted, about 3 minutes more.
- Divide slaw among 4 plates and top with chops.

Steps:
- 1. Preheat oven to 375 degrees. Grease a 13x9 pan, and set aside. This part is easy peasy...chop smoked sausge in chunks, like 1 1/2 inch pieces, chop potatoes in chunks, mine were like 1/2 inch slices, and chop head of cabbage in chunks, thick chunks are great. Place in greased 13x9 in pan.
- 2. In a large sauce pan on medium heat, melt butter and blend in flour to create a roux, stir with a whisk. Slowly add in milk, continuing to stir with a whisk. Add salt, onion salt, paprika, cayenne pepper, black pepper and garlic. Stir constantly, sauce will thicken, usually about 7-10 minutes of stirring. Sprinkle cheddar cheese into sauce mixture, continue to stir until melted completely. Sauce will be somewhat salty, but this will bake into potatoes and cabbage for a perfect blend.
- 3. Pour cheese sauce directly onto cabbage, potatoes and smoked sausage. Stir. Cover with aluminum foil and bake for 45 minutes at 375 degrees. Un-cover foil and continue to bake for an additional 10 minutes. Let stand for 5 minutes, serve.
