Time 1h15m

Number Of Ingredients 13

1 medium head of green cabbage (ca. 2.5 lbs, cored and coarsely chopped)
2 tablespoons oil or butter
2 tablespoons molasses (or light syrup)
1 pound ground beef (or pork)
1 onion (chopped)
2 cloves garlic (minced)
1 cup heavy cream

2 tablespoons soy sauce
1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce
salt and pepper (to taste)

Steps:

  • In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil or butter over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and lightly fry it, often stirring, for about 5-10 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons molasses and season with salt and pepper to taste. Lower the heat to medium; cook until all the liquid has evaporated and the cabbage is caramelized, about 15 minutes. Set aside.

  • Allow resting 10 minutes before serving. Serve with boiled or mashed potatoes and lingonberry preserves.

Tips:

  • Choose the right type of swede: Look for swedes that are firm and have smooth, unblemished skin. Avoid swedes that are soft, bruised, or have cracks or blemishes.
  • Peel the swede properly: Use a sharp vegetable peeler to remove the skin from the swede. Be careful not to cut into the flesh of the swede.
  • Cut the swede into even-sized pieces: This will help to ensure that the swede cooks evenly. If the swede pieces are too large, they may not cook through properly.
  • Season the swede well: Swede has a mild flavor, so it is important to season it well. Use a variety of spices and herbs to taste, such as salt, pepper, garlic, thyme, and rosemary.
  • Don't overcook the swede: Swede is a root vegetable that can easily become overcooked. Overcooked swede will be mushy and bland. Cook the swede until it is tender but still has a slight bite to it.

Conclusion:

Swede casserole is a delicious and versatile dish that can be enjoyed by people of all ages. It is a great way to use up leftover swede, and it can also be made ahead of time and reheated when you are ready to serve it.
