Steps:

• In a small bowl, dissolve the bouillon cubes in 3 tablespoons of the hot tap water. Set aside.
• Cut the chicken into chunks about one-inch in size. Wipe the pieces fairly dry with paper towels, roll them in the flour and set them aside on a plate. Allow them to sit for at least 10 minutes.
• Blend together the following seasonings in a small bowl: curry powder, mustard seed, cumin powder, white pepper, and seasoned salt. Set aside.
• Heat the oil and butter together in a large skillet over medium high heat. As soon as the oil is hot, drop in the jalapeno pepper and the chicken pieces. Then, sprinkle all the blended seasonings over the chicken. Fry the chicken pieces for a total of no more than 5 minutes, turning once, then remove the chicken (slightly browned) and the jalapeno pepper from the skillet and set aside on a plate.
• Whisk the tomato paste into the skillet drippings and then pour in the 3 tablespoons of water with the bouillon dissolved in it to deglaze a bit. Allow this to simmer over the medium-high heat for about 2 minutes and then pour in the tomatoes and onions. Allow the tomatoes and onions to cook down for about three minutes and then add the remaining 6 tablespoons of hot tap water and stir. The sauce will taste salty at this point but the end product will be fine.
• After the tomato-onion sauce has simmered for about 5 minutes, reduce the heat to low, dump in the chopped cabbage and gently stir, coating the cabbage with the red sauce. Then top with the semi-cooked chicken and the jalapeno pepper and gently stir again. Reduce heat to a simmer, cover and allow the cabbage to cook down for about 30 minutes, stirring once or twice, then remove from heat and allow the ingredients to sit covered for about 10 minutes.
• Serve.

Steps:

• Heat the oven to 425 degrees. Prepare the dressing: In a small bowl, whisk together 1/2 cup olive oil with the mustard, garlic, vinegar and cumin seeds. Season generously with salt and pepper.
• Prepare the cabbage: Halve the cabbage lengthwise through the core, then cut each half into 1-inch-thick wedges. (Make sure to continue cutting lengthwise through the core to keep the pieces intact.) You should have about 16 pieces.
• Add the cabbage wedges to a large (13-by-18-inch) baking sheet. Brush all the wedges with half the vinaigrette, then carefully turn and brush the other side with remaining vinaigrette. Arrange in an even layer, then season generously with salt and pepper. On a separate baking sheet, brush the red onion rounds with olive oil on both sides; season generously with salt and pepper. Add the onion rounds to the cabbage wedges, interspersing the red onion and cabbage and tucking some onion rounds partly underneath. Sprinkle the capers evenly on top.
• Prepare the chicken: In a small bowl, toss the coriander and cumin with 1 tablespoon salt and 1 1/2 teaspoons pepper. Place the chicken on the sheet pan where you oiled the onions and drizzle with olive oil all over, then rub the seasoning all over the chicken. Arrange the chicken pieces on top of the cabbage and onions, skin-side up.
• Transfer to the oven and roast until the chicken is cooked through and the cabbage is lightly browned in spots and tender, about 35 to 40 minutes. Top with parsley or dill and serve immediately, passing more mustard on the side.

Steps:

• Fry bacon until golden in a heavy three-quart casserole. Remove bacon from pan and drain on absorbent paper.
• Dry chicken pieces and brown them well, a few at a time, in the bacon fat in the pan. Remove chicken and set aside. Pour all but one tablespoon of the bacon fat out of the pan.
• Saute the onion in the one tablespoon of bacon fat over low heat until soft but not brown. Add the garlic and saute a few minutes longer. Add the vinegar and deglaze the pan, scraping up any browned particles. Add the cabbage to the pan, cover and cook over very low heat until the cabbage is wilted, 10 to 15 minutes.
• Stir in the wine, thyme, pepper and the bacon. Return the chicken to the pan. Cover and simmer over low heat about 35 minutes, until the chicken is done.
• Arrange the chicken on a serving platter. Arrange the cabbage mixed with bacon alongside or around the chicken, draining it well to leave as much cooking liquid as possible in the pan. Cover to keep warm.
• Briefly boil down the cooking liquid to thicken it slightly. Off heat, swirl in the butter bit by bit. Spoon some of the sauce over the chicken and the rest over the cabbage before serving.
