TOMATO CABBAGE (TOMATEN KOHL)
My mother used to make this and she always referred to it as "tomatokraut." It was, and is, one of my favorite side dishes. This usually yields about 3 quarts. To complete the meal, you can slice chunks of kielbasa or knockwurst into this towards the end to heat them through, and serve with plain boiled potatoes. Enjoy!

Steps:
- In a 4-quart pot, melt bacon fat and add chopped onions. Saute over low-medium heat until translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
- Cut cabbage into one-inch by two-inch strips approximately. I cut the head into quarters, cut out the core, and then slice across the wedge.
- Add chopped cabbage into pot, stirring to mix with the onions, adding a little more bacon fat if needed to coat the cabbage.
- Sprinkle vinegar over cabbage in pot, then stir in salt, pepper, and caraway seed. Simmer until wilted, about 10 minutes, stirring once or twice.
- Add tomatoes and tomato sauce when cabbage has wilted.
- Stir in allspice. Adjust seasonings to taste. Sometimes I add a teaspoon or more of sugar to cut any bitter/acidic taste.
- Cover and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes. Check after 20 minutes if you like it crisp-tender. I usually cook it 40 to 45 minutes so it's really tender.
- For variety, increase the amount of and/or substitute different tomatoes -- crushed tomatoes, tomato puree, or tomato juice/V8. This makes it 'soupier,' and then we just serve it in cereal bowls or rice bowls on the side to enjoy every drop of the liquid!

GERMAN CABBAGE CASSEROLE - KOHL UND HACKFLEISCH
Cabbage and meat mildly seasoned with garlic and onions in a creamy cheese sauce and topped with breadcrumbs for a pretty presentation! A real comfort food. Even those who say they HATE cabbage will eat this and like it! I have even made this without the meat- using bulgur and veggie broth. Here is how: Just replace the meat with the same amount of bulgur- (for 1 lb of meat sub 1 cup bulgur) you will want to soak the bulgur according to the instructions on the package- if you bought it in bulk here is how... Bring 2 cups of veggie broth ( can use bouillon and water) per 1 cup bulgur When broth is boiling stir in bulgur. Cover and simmer about 15 minutes or until bulgur is soft. All the broth should be absorbed. Fluff the bulgur with a fork as you would rice and add to your recipe. I have used beef, pork, turkey and chicken with great results too. *See NOTE for freezing, make ahead and left over tips*

Steps:
- Brown meat, onion and garlic until meat is no longer pink and onion has turned clear.
- Drain grease from pan and discard.
- Add cabbage and cover.
- Cook until cabbage is clear.
- Add cheese and sour cream mixing well.
- Pour all into greased casserole and top with bread crumbs.
- Bake at 375 for 40 minutes.
- *NOTE: to freeze- make ahead or re-heat left overs: compliments of Chef Marie Alice:* I froze half of this when I originally made it. This freezes excellently and if anything tastes even better after! I reheated it by melting a little butter in a skillet and then crumbling the partially thawed casserole into it, cooking and stirring until it was heated through.
Tips:
- Choose the right tomatoes: Use ripe, flavorful tomatoes for the best results. Look for tomatoes that are deep red in color and have a slight give when you press them gently.
- Use a variety of cabbage: You can use any type of cabbage for this recipe, but green cabbage, red cabbage, and Savoy cabbage are all good choices.
- Don't overcook the vegetables: The vegetables should be cooked until they are tender but still have a bit of a crunch. Overcooking will make them mushy.
- Season to taste: Add salt, pepper, and other seasonings to taste. You may also want to add a bit of sugar or vinegar to balance out the flavors.
- Serve warm or cold: Tomato cabbage can be served warm or cold. It's a great side dish for grilled meats or fish, or it can be enjoyed on its own as a light lunch or dinner.
Conclusion:
Tomato cabbage is a simple but delicious dish that is perfect for any occasion. It's a great way to use up leftover tomatoes and cabbage, and it's a healthy and flavorful side dish that the whole family will enjoy. So next time you're looking for a quick and easy recipe, give tomato cabbage a try. You won't be disappointed!
