MOM'S POLISH STEWED CABBAGE



Mom's Polish Stewed Cabbage image

My mother often served a delicious Polish dish made with cabbage. We always topped ours with a dollop of sour cream and sometimes served this over mashed potatoes. You can make this just using the cabbage, but I add kielbasa or smoked turkey for additional flavour. Delicious.

Categories     Soup/Stew     Bean     Stew

Yield 4-6 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
1 medium onion, half of it chopped, half sliced
3 garlic cloves, minced
1/2 pound lentils (brown, green, or beluga), rinsed and picked over
3 1/2 cups water (more as needed)
1 dried red chile
1 bay leaf
Salt to taste
6 ounces waxy potatoes, scrubbed and sliced about 1/2 inch thick
1 1/2 pounds green cabbage (1 medium head), cored and cut crosswise in 3/4-inch wide ribbons
1 tablespoon chopped flat-leaf parsley
Freshly grated Parmesan for serving (optional)

Steps:

  • Heat 1 tablespoon of the olive oil in a 3-quart saucepan or casserole over medium heat. Add the chopped half of the onion and cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add 2 of the garlic cloves and cook, stirring, until fragrant, 30 seconds to a minute. Add the lentils, water, chile, and bay leaf, and bring to a simmer. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer over low heat for 15 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and the potatoes and continue to simmer gently for 30 minutes, until the lentils and potatoes are tender. Add more salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. While the lentils are simmering, cook the cabbage with the remaining onion and garlic in a wide lidded skillet. Heat the remaining tablespoon of olive oil over medium heat and add the sliced onion. Cook, stirring often, until tender, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 teaspoon salt and the garlic and stir together until the garlic is fragrant, about 1 minute. Add the cabbage and turn the heat to medium-high. Cook, stirring, until the cabbage begins to wilt. Add 1/4 cup water, turn the heat down to medium, cover and simmer 10 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and sweet, stirring from time to time. Add salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Spread the cabbage over the bottom of the pan in an even layer. Top with the lentils and potatoes. Sprinkle on the parsley, and serve in wide soup bowls. Sprinkle with Parmesan if desired.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Select a firm, heavy head of cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Avoid any heads with signs of wilting, bruising, or yellowing.
  • Use a variety of vegetables: Don't limit yourself to just cabbage. Feel free to add other vegetables such as carrots, celery, onions, potatoes, or tomatoes to your stew.
  • Season well: Don't be afraid to use plenty of herbs and spices to flavor your stew. Common choices include salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, oregano, and bay leaves.
  • Cook it low and slow: Stewing is a low and slow cooking method that allows the flavors to meld and develop. Simmer your stew for at least 30 minutes, or even up to an hour, for the best results.
  • Serve with your favorite sides: Stewed cabbage is a versatile dish that can be served with a variety of sides. Some popular choices include mashed potatoes, rice, noodles, or bread.

Conclusion:

Stewed cabbage is a delicious and comforting dish that is perfect for a cold winter day. It is also a great way to use up leftover cabbage.
