Corned Beef Reuben With Savoy Cabbage Slaw Recipes

Steps:

• For the corned beef and cabbage: Pour the stock into a large 4-gallon stockpot over medium-high heat and bring to a simmer. Add the pickling spice, garlic, bay leaves and cloves. Reduce the heat to medium, then add the beef and cabbage simmer until tender, 3 hours. Season with salt and pepper.
• Slice the corned beef into thin slices against the grain. (This should yield around 30 slices.) Slice 2 wedges of the cabbage thinly.
• Butter 1 side of the bread slices and brown on a warm griddle or large nonstick pan. Top each bread slice with 1 slice of cheese, followed by Thousand Island dressing. Add beef slices to half the bread, and the cabbage to the remaining bread slices. Continuing browning the bread for 2 to 3 minutes, and then assemble the sandwiches. Warm the assembled sandwiches in the pan or a preheated 350 degrees F oven.

Steps:

• Coat a large wide pot with olive oil and add the bacon. Render the bacon over medium heat. Add the red onions, season with salt, and sweat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the carrots and stir to combine. Add the cabbage, cider vinegar, mustard seeds, thyme and bay leaves. Season with salt and taste. This will taste very vinegary but the salt will help offset the sharpness of the vinegar.
• Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 to 20 minutes or until the cabbage is very soft. Remove the lid, add the apple cider and simmer for an additional 10 minutes or until most of the vinegar has absorbed but the cabbage is still moist but not soupy. Serve right away or let it hang out in the refrigerator. It will probably be better in a couple of days. Garnish with chives.

Steps:

• Quarter and core cabbage, reserving outer leaves for presentation. Roughly chop cabbage and rinse in a salad spinner.
• Transfer cabbage to a large bowl. Add carrots and red onion.
• Mix together mayonnaise, balsamic vinegar, sugar, salt, and white pepper. Pour over the slaw mixture and mix until well combined. Cover and refrigerate until chilled, at least 2 hours.
• Arrange reserved cabbage leaves on a platter with chilled slaw on top.
