Cider Braised Cabbage With Apples And Fennel Recipes

Steps:

• Bring a large saucepan of water to a boil. Blanch cabbage until just tender, about 2 minutes. Drain and set aside.
• Heat butter in a large straight-sided skillet over medium heat. Add onion and garlic, and cook until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add cabbage, cider vinegar, apple cider, honey, salt, pepper, cloves, and allspice. Toss to coat. Cover, and simmer until very tender, about 40 minutes. While cabbage is cooking, core apples; cut into 3/4-inch pieces. Toss with lemon juice; set aside.
• Add apples and caraway seeds to pan; cook, uncovered, until apples begin to brown slightly, and most of the liquid has evaporated, about 10 minutes. Serve.

Steps:

• Core and slice the cabbage into thin slices. Slice the cheeks off the apples and cut into thin wedges.
• In a large saute pan, add the butter and melt over medium heat. Add the cabbage, apples, fennel and salt and pepper, to taste, and saute until the cabbage softens and wilts about 20 minutes. Deglaze with red wine and stir in a splash of cider vinegar. Transfer to a serving bowl 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.

Steps:

• Cook 1 sliced red onion and 1 chopped peeled apple in a Dutch oven with vegetable oil over medium heat until softened, about 5 minutes. Add 1/2 head thinly sliced red cabbage, 1 cup apple cider, 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar and 1/2 teaspoon kosher salt. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender, 30 minutes.

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees. Season pork all over with salt and pepper. Heat 2 tablespoons oil in a large, heavy-bottomed ovenproof pot over medium-high heat. Add pork and cook until browned on all sides, turning as needed, about 8 minutes total. Remove from pot.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add remaining 1 tablespoon oil if pan is too dry, along with onion, garlic, caraway seeds, and a splash of water. Cook, stirring occasionally, until onion is translucent, 1 to 2 minutes. Add flour and cook, stirring, 30 seconds. Add vinegar and bring to a boil, then add cider and broth and return to a boil. Add cabbage, fennel, and 1 apple. Return to a boil, then reduce to a vigorous simmer, cover, and cook 7 minutes, stirring once.
• Add pork, nestling it into vegetables. Transfer to oven and cook, uncovered, 15 minutes. Remove pork and add remaining 2 apples, turning vegetables and pushing apples down into liquid. Return pork to pot and continue cooking until a thermometer inserted in thickest part of pork registers 138 degrees, 20 to 25 minutes more. Remove pork and let rest at least 10 minutes before slicing. If necessary, return vegetables and apples to oven and cook, covered, until fork-tender, 10 to 20 minutes more.
• Transfer vegetables and apples to a platter. Slice pork and add to platter. Stir butter into liquid in pot, then season with salt and vinegar. Serve pork and vegetables with sauce on the side.

Steps:

• Melt butter in large pot over medium-high heat. Add onion; sauté until beginning to soften, about 5 minutes. Add cabbage; saut;eacute; until slightly wilted, tossing frequently, about 6 minutes. Stir in apple cider. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook until cabbage is tender, stirring occasionally, about 6 minutes. Uncover; simmer until almost all liquid in pot evaporates, about 3 minutes. Stir in vinegar. Season with salt and pepper.

Steps:

• Peel off the outer leaves from the cabbage and discard. Quarter the cabbage, removing the tough stem, then thinly slice. Arrange a layer of the cabbage on the bottom of a large saucepan, followed by some of the onions, apples, zest, mixed spice, sugar and seasoning. Continue to create layers until you have used up the ingredients.
• Pour over the vinegar and cider and dot the butter on top. Bring to the boil then simmer with a lid on over low heat for 1½ hrs, until tender. The cabbage will keep for 2 days, covered, in the fridge or freeze for up to 1 month. Reheat in either a pan or in the microwave.
