Blue Cabbage Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the cabbages in half and then in quarters and cut out the cores. Set up the food processor with the slicing blade (according to manufacturer's instructions) and place the pieces of cabbage, one at a time, lying horizontally in the feed tube. (If they don't fit, cut them to fit lying down.) Place the feed tube pusher on top and turn on the processor. Don't push on the feed tube pusher or the slices will turn out too thick! Continue with the remaining red and green cabbage quarters. Transfer into a large bowl, discarding any very large pieces. Before you pour the dressing on the salad, save a handful of the grated vegetables to decorate for serving. Change the slicing blade for the large shredding blade and cut the carrots so they also lie down in the feed tube. Since the carrots are hard, replace the feed tube pusher and press firmly with the food processor on. Transfer to bowl with the cabbages.
• In a medium bowl, whisk together the mayonnaise, both mustards, vinegar, celery salt, kosher salt, and pepper. Pour enough mayonnaise dressing over the grated vegetables and toss to moisten well. Add crumbled blue cheese and parsley and toss together. Cover the bowl with plastic wrap and refrigerate for several hours to allow the flavors to meld. Serve cold or at room temperature.

Steps:

• Whisk together the mayonnaise, vinegar, chipotle puree, mustard, celery salt and celery seed in a large bowl. Add the cabbage, onion, and carrot and stir to combine. Fold in the blue cheese, parsley and potato chips. Season with salt and pepper, to taste, and serve.

Steps:

• Start boiling a pot of salted water. Add pasta when ready, and cook until al dente (slightly firm). Reserve 1 cup of pasta water before draining (to be used later).
• In a large saute pan, heat up a drizzle of olive oil on medium-high heat until hot. Add sliced cabbage and minced garlic. Season with salt and pepper to taste. Cook, stirring occasionally, 3-4 minutes, or until slightly softened.
• To the cabbage, add the sage and as much of the red pepper flakes as you wish, depending on how spicy you'd like it. Add more salt and black pepper to taste. Cook, stirring frequently, 1 to 2 minutes, or until fragrant.
• Add 1/4 cup of the pasta water to the cabbage and cook another 1 to 2 minutes while stirring frequently.
• Add the cooked pasta, butter, and half the shredded cheese, and 1/2 the remaining pasta water to the cabbage pan. Add more salt and pepper to taste, cook on medium-high, stirring vigorously, 1 to 2 minutes, or until thoroughly coated. If pasta seems dry, keep adding more pasta water to achieve desired consistency. Remove from heat when done.
• Optional: add browned and drained ground turkey to the cabbage pasta, and mix well.
• Serve immediately, topping with more sage and red pepper flakes if desired, and generous amount of shredded cheese. Buon Appetito!
