Cabbage And Sparerib Soup Recipes

Steps:

• In a spice grinder process caraway seeds, paprika and mustard until fine. Turn into a bowl with brown sugar, 1 teaspoon salt and the cayenne; fluff with fingertips.
• Dry ribs well with paper towels, and rub both sides with spices and crushed garlic. Place ribs on a small rack or plate, cover with plastic wrap, and refrigerate at least 6 hours or overnight.
• Adjust oven rack to lowest position, and heat oven to 425 degrees. Spray a sheet pan lightly with vegetable spray. Brush garlic cloves from ribs, place ribs in a sheet pan, and roast until a deep golden brown, about 30 minutes. Remove from oven.
• Transfer ribs to a 5-quart Dutch oven; pour rendered fat (about 2 tablespoons) from sheet pan into a large heavy skillet, and set aside. Place sheet pan on 2 burners over high heat, add 1 cup water, and stir with a wooden spoon to dislodge browned bits. Pour deglazing liquid and stock into Dutch oven, cover, and bring to simmer over medium-high heat. Reduce heat to low, and simmer gently until ribs are tender, turning occasionally, about 1 1/2 hours. Remove ribs from broth, and cool slightly.
• While ribs simmer, sauté onions and cabbage in a skillet over medium-high heat, stirring frequently, until lightly browned, about 20 minutes. Add 1 teaspoon salt and the black pepper; stir to combine. Set aside.
• Pull pork off bones, trim off bits of cartilage, and dice meat. Discard bones. Return meat to soup base, add cabbage and onions, and simmer about 15 minutes. Serve, garnished with parsley.

Steps:

• Separate your ribs into single pieces (one bone per bite).
• Use a large stock pot half filled with water- and a pinch of salt-- bring the water to the boil and add the ribs.
• Allow the ribs to boil for approximately 30 minuts.
• Remove the ribs from the water using a slotted spoon- but reserve the water- set the ribs aside.
• Chop your cabbage in desired size.
• Boil the cabbage in the rib water for approximately 30 minutes or until desired tenderness is achieved.
• Return the ribs to the water mixing the cabbage and ribs together for approximately 10 minutes- just enough time to rewarm the ribs.
• Drain and salt and pepper to taste- use a generous amount of pepper- since there are NO other spices in this dish.
• Serve.

Steps:

• Heat oil in Dutch oven until hot. Cook pork spareribs, a few pieces at a time, over medium heat until brown on all sides, about 15 minutes; drain fat.
• Add onion, carrot, bouillon, salt, caraway seed, 1/4 teaspoon pepper and the bay leaf. Pour water and vinegar over pork mixture.
• Heat to boiling; reduce heat. Cover and simmer 1 1/2 hours.
• Add cabbage; sprinkle with pepper. Cover and simmer until cabbage is tender, about 15 minutes.
• Remove bay leaf. Arrange spareribs and vegetables on serving platter.
• Garnish with minced parsley if desired.

Steps:

• In a small bowl, whisk together five-spice powder, cayenne, 1 teaspoon salt, and 1/8 teaspoon pepper. Rub meaty side of ribs with spice mixture, patting to adhere.
• In a shallow 2-quart microwave-safe dish, arrange rack, standing with rib ends upward (the natural curve will keep it upright). Microwave on high, uncovered, until pork is opaque throughout, 20 to 25 minutes. Remove from microwave; tent with foil. Set aside.
• In a large bowl, toss together cabbage, vinegar, and oil. Season with salt and pepper. Cut rack between bones to separate ribs; brush with hoisin sauce. Garnish with scallions, and serve with napa cabbage and more hoisin sauce for dipping.

Steps:

• Early in the day, or a day in advance, combine short ribs, beef stock, 1 1/2 cups chicken stock, wine, 1 sprig thyme and 1 carrot, quartered, in saucepan. Add black pepper to taste and 4 cups water, bring to simmer and cook very gently, partly covered, until ribs are tender, about 2 hours.
• Transfer to large bowl, cool to room temperature, cover and refrigerate about 6 hours or overnight. Discard solidified fat. Remove meat, bones, carrot and herbs. Place cooking liquid in saucepan. (You should have about 4 cups; if not, add water.) Bring to simmer and set aside.
• Discard bones, fat and gristle. Cut meat into 3/4-inch dice. Set aside.
• Dice remaining carrots. Heat butter in large saucepan. Add turnip, celery, leeks, onion, potato, cabbage and carrots. Sauté until soft and barely colored. Add bay leaf, remaining thyme, liquid from cooking ribs and remaining chicken stock. Simmer, partly covered, 40 minutes. Add meat; simmer 15 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
• To serve, ladle soup into warm soup plates, and place slice of toast topped with cheese on each portion. Dust with parsley.
