Categories     Food & Cooking     Ingredients     Meat & Poultry     Pork Recipes

Time 50m

Number Of Ingredients 10

2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil
12 ounces smoked sausage links, such as kielbasa or andouille
1 yellow onion, chopped (1 1/2 cups)
1 tablespoon packed light-brown sugar
2 teaspoons Creole seasoning, such as Tony Chachere's
1 head green cabbage (3 pounds), cored and cut into 1/2-inch pieces (12 cups)
3 tablespoons apple-cider vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground pepper
Whole-grain mustard, for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Melt 1 tablespoon butter and oil in a large pot or 1 1/2-quart braiser over medium heat. Add sausages and cook, flipping once, until golden brown, about 6 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
  • Add remaining 1 tablespoon butter to pot, along with onion, brown sugar, and Creole seasoning. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in half of cabbage and vinegar; season with salt. As mixture begins to reduce in volume, add remaining cabbage; season with salt. Cover and cook, stirring a few times, until cabbage is softened and wilted but still has a slight crunch, about 25 minutes. Season with salt and pepper to taste.
  • Nestle sausages into cabbage and cook just until warmed through, about 2 minutes. Cut sausages into 1/2-inch-thick pieces; serve with cabbage and mustard, if desired.

SMOKED HAM HOCK AND CABBAGE SOUP



Smoked Ham Hock and Cabbage Soup image

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



Tea-Smoked Pork and Tender Cabbage Stir-Fry image

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.

Provided by Food Network

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 22

1/2 pound boneless pork butt
4 cups water
3 quarter-sized slices peeled ginger
2 green onions, trimmed
2 teaspoons sugar
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 cup black or oolong tea leaves
1/4 cup uncooked rice
1/4 cup packed light brown sugar
3 star anise
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 tablespoon minced garlic
2 teaspoons minced ginger
2 teaspoons minced red or green jalapeno chile
1 1/2 to 2 cups sliced (1-inch) Napa cabbage
1/3 cup thinly sliced carrot
1/3 cup sliced bamboo shoots
1/4 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 1/2 teaspoons chile garlic sauce
2 teaspoons cornstarch, dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
1/4 teaspoon sesame oil

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



Smoked Cabbage Slaw With Creamy Horseradish image

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.

Provided by Steven Raichlen

Categories     salads and dressings, slaws, vegetables, side dish

Time 30m

Yield 6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 Honey Crisp or other firm apple
1 small head green cabbage (about 1 1/4 pounds), quartered through the core
1 small white onion, peeled and quartered
2 carrots, trimmed and peeled
1/2 cup yellow raisins
Ice, for smoking
1/2 cup mayonnaise
3 tablespoons prepared horseradish
2 tablespoons cider vinegar, plus more to taste
2 tablespoons granulated sugar, plus more to taste
1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
1/2 teaspoon celery seed
Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper

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



Stove Top Smoked Kielbasa and Cabbage image

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.

Provided by Bone Man

Categories     One Dish Meal

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 medium cabbage, chopped
16 ounces smoked kielbasa (most are pre-cooked, I use Smithfield brand)
1/2 cup chicken broth
3 tablespoons canola oil
1 medium chipotle chile in adobo (2 peppers optional)
1 medium tomatoes, cored and diced
1 1/2 teaspoons seasoning salt
4 tablespoons butter
1 tablespoon sugar

Steps:

  • Slice the kielbasa on the bias into pieces that are about 1 1/2 inches long.
  • In a very large skillet over medium heat, pour in the cooking oil and brown the sausage pieces. Remove them from the skillet and set aside.
  • Deglaze the skillet with the chicken broth, add the chipotle pepper and tomato, stirring to blend. After a couple of minutes, add the cabbage. Sprinkle on the seasoned salt, add in the butter, and cover, allowing the cabbage to cook over medium heat. After 10 minutes, add the sausage back in, add the sugar, stir, and re-cover the skillet. Reduce the heat to a simmer and allow to cook until the cabbage is tender, about 15 minutes.
  • Serve hot.
