Braised Beets And Red Cabbage Recipes

Steps:

• Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the hard core and shred.
• Heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan, add the onion and fry over a low heat until it begins to soften; add the cabbage, beetroot and all remaining ingredients, seasoning to taste.
• Cover the pan tightly and keeping an eye on the liquid (there should be enough at all times to prevent sticking, but no excess at the end of cooking) cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 ½ - 2 hours, until soft and reduced in bulk; adjust seasoning if required.
• NOTE: This can also be made in advance and reheated; it can also be cooked in a casserole dish in a low oven.

Steps:

• Brown 1/3 cup diced pancetta in olive oil in a pot over medium-high heat until crisp, 2 to 4 minutes. Add 1 pound sliced red cabbage, 1 sliced red onion, 1/2 teaspoon each fennel seeds and kosher salt and a few grinds of pepper. Cook, stirring, 5 minutes. Add 1 cup water, 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar and 1 tablespoon sugar. Cover and cook over medium heat, stirring, until tender, 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper and top with parsley.

Steps:

• Working in batches, coarsely grate cabbage and beets in food processor fitted with grating blade. Set aside.
• Melt butter in heavy large skillet over medium heat. Add onions and sauté until brown, about 15 minutes. Mix in cabbage and beets. Add 1/2 cup water and vinegar. Cover; simmer until vegetables are tender, stirring occasionally and adding water by tablespoonfuls if mixture is dry, about 30 minutes. Season with salt and pepper. Transfer to bowl; top with parsley.

Steps:

• Peel about a pound of beets and chop them into 1-inch cubes.
• In a large saucepan, combine a couple of tablespoons of butter with the vegetables and stock to cover (.5 cup or more).
• Add a splash of white wine and some freshly chopped tarragon; bring to a boil.
• Cover and adjust the heat so the mixture simmers.
• Cook until the vegetables are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Add salt and pepper to taste, and serve.

Steps:

• Prepare the cabbage, and cover with cold water while you prepare the remaining ingredients. Heat the oil over medium heat in a large, lidded skillet or casserole, and add the onion. Cook, stirring, until just about tender, about three minutes. Add 2 tablespoons of the balsamic vinegar and cook, stirring, until the mixture is golden, about three minutes, then add the apples and stir for two to three minutes.
• Drain the cabbage and add to the pot. Toss to coat thoroughly, then stir in the allspice, another 2 tablespoons balsamic vinegar, and salt to taste. Toss together. Cover the pot, and cook over low heat for one hour, stirring from time to time. Add freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust salt, and add another tablespoon or two of balsamic vinegar as desired.
