Chef Boy I Be Illinois Braised Cabbage And Leeks Recipes

Steps:

• In a large saute pan, melt 2 tablespoons butter over medium heat. Add the cumin, caraway and coriander seeds and toast them slightly for 30 seconds. Do not let them brown.
• Immediately add half of the cabbage and season with the salt. Toss and stir to wilt and to combine with the spices. Add the remaining cabbage and if necessary, reseason with salt and allow it to continue wilting. Stir in the poblano, toss and cook over medium heat, stirring from time to time, about 10 to 15 minutes. Taste for seasoning.
• Stir in the vinegar and orange juice and toss to blend. Taste for seasoning.
• Lower the heat and add the cilantro. Stir to combine and remove the pan from the heat. Arrange it on a serving platter and serve.

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a pot. Add 1 teaspoon crushed coriander seeds, 1/4 teaspoon dried dill and 2 sliced leeks; season with salt and pepper. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring, until softened, 8 to 10 minutes. Add 1/2 head chopped cabbage. Cover and cook, stirring once, 10 minutes. Add 1/4 cup apple juice and 2 tablespoons cider vinegar. Simmer until reduced, 3 minutes.

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large pan, tip in the leeks and sweat for 5 mins, stirring to break up, until they soften. Stir in the cabbage, then pour over the cider. Turn up the heat and wilt the cabbage for a few mins. Season, and serve immediately.

Steps:

• Trim the darkest green part off the leeks and strip away the first two layers. Cut in half lengthways, but keep attached at the root. Wash the leeks under cold running water and set aside. Tip all the other ingredients, except the olives and parsley, into a wide shallow pan with 200ml water, some cracked pepper and a sprinkling of salt.
• Slip the leeks into the pan, cover and place over a low heat. Gently simmer for 20 mins, turning them occasionally until very tender - a knife blade should slip in easily. Leave to cool until just warm, then stir through the parsley and olives, if you like. Serve the leeks as they are with crusty bread or with roast chicken or fish.
