Soused Red Cabbage Recipes

Steps:

• Halve, core, and thinly slice red cabbage.
• Heat olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add cabbage and red-wine vinegar; season with coarse salt and ground pepper. Cook, tossing frequently, until cabbage is crisp-tender, about 15 minutes (add a splash of water if pan becomes dry).
• Add light-brown sugar; toss until dissolved, about 30 seconds. Season again with salt and pepper, as desired.

Steps:

• In a saucepan, over medium heat add olive oil, garlic and 2 tablespoons of the shallots. Stir for 1 minute. While stirring, add the red cabbage. Prepare a mixture of the duck stock and cornstarch, and add this mixture to the cabbage. Continue stirring until the sauce begins to boil, then add the salt and sugar. Add the remaining 2 tablespoons chopped shallots and lemon juice. Finish by adding the cabernet sauvignon to the sauce.
• Transfer the red cabbage sauce into the center of a serving plate, topping it with the sliced duck. Garnish around the duck with potatoes. In between each potato place steamed carrots, string beans, broccoli and zucchini. Finally, add several pieces of gold leaf on top of the duck. (Eat gold for a long life.)

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add oil and onion and saute 2 minutes. Add cabbage and turn in pan, sauteing it until it wilts, 3 to 5 minutes. Add vinegar to the pan and turn the cabbage in it. Sprinkle sugar over the cabbage and turn again. Season with mustard seed, salt and pepper and reduce heat a bit. Let cabbage continue to cook 10 minutes or until ready to serve, stirring occasionally.

Steps:

• Discard the outer leaves of the cabbage, quarter it, remove the hard core and finely slice the leaves.
• Heat the oil in a saucepan and sweat the cabbage with the salt and pepper and mace until it gives off a nutty aroma and is glossy and relaxed. Add the balsamic vinegar and the sugar and cook to evaporate it. Add the red wine and bay leaves, cover the pan, turn the heat down low and braise for 17 minutes, stirring halfway through.
• Add the cranberries, cover the pan, and cook for another 10 minutes, stirring halfway through.

Steps:

• Place water in a large saucepan, and stir in cabbage, apples, brown sugar, vinegar, cinnamon, allspice, cloves, and 1 tablespoon butter. Bring to a boil. Reduce heat, and cover. Simmer 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender. Stir in remaining butter before serving.

Steps:

• Heat oil in a large nonstick saute pan over medium-high heat until hot but not smoking. Add cabbage and shallots, and cook, stirring occasionally, until cabbage has softened slightly, about 15 minutes. Stir in salt, lemon juice, and vinegar. Season with pepper. Cook until cabbage has wilted and shallots have softened, 10 to 12 minutes more. Stir in raisins; serve.

Steps:

• Place a large heavy-bottom saucepan or casserole over medium-low heat, and add oil. When oil is hot, add onion and salt. Sauté gently until onion is softened but not colored.
• Add cabbage to pan on top of onion. Sprinkle sugar over cabbage; add wine, orange juice and allspice. Peel, core and finely chop apples, and add to pan. Cover, and let mixture steam until cabbage is wilted, about 10 minutes.
• Gently stir to mix all ingredients; cover and reduce heat to its lowest possible setting. Cook about 2 hours, and adjust salt and allspice as desired. Serve hot, or allow to cool to room temperature and refrigerate overnight. (The flavors improve with reheating.)
