Swedish Cabbage Recipes

Steps:

• 1. Melt butter in heavy large Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add chopped apples and onion saute until tender, about 10 minutes. Stir in cabbage and cook until slightly wilted, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes.
• 2. Stir in sugar, cider vinegar, salt, cloves and allspice. Cover and cook until cabbage is crisp-tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes.
• 3. Uncover, add dry red wine and jelly and cook 5 minutes longer.
• 4. Season to taste with salt and pepper.
• 5. Serve warm, room temperature or chilled. (Cabbage can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Reheat over low heat if serving warm.)

Steps:

• Heat oven to 350. Put a large pan over medium-high heat, and add the butter. When it starts to foam, add the cabbage and molasses, lower the heat to medium and sprinkle with salt. Cook slowly, stirringoften, until all the liquid has evaporated and the cabbage is caramelized, approximately 20-25 minutes.
• While the cabbage is cooking, lightly mix the meats in a large bowl, then add the onion, cream and breadcrumbs, and mix again to combine.
• When the cabbage is done, add about a third of it to the meat mixture, and mix to combine. Use the remaining butter to grease an 8-inch-square baking pan, and transfer the meat mixture to it, spreading it out to cover the whole surface evenly. Spread remaining cabbage over the meat, pour the stock or water over the top and place in the oven, on a sheet tray, to cook for approximately 40 to 45 minutes, or until the cabbage is very, very caramelized, almost dry and crunchy at the edges. Allow it to sit for 10 minutes or so before serving.
• While the meat and cabbage cooks, make the sauce. Heat lingonberry preserves, vinegar and butter in a small pot set over medium heat, then add Worcestershire sauce to taste. Serve alongside the kalpudding.

Stir in cabbage and cook until slightly wilted, stirring frequently, about 8 minutes. Stir in sugar, cider vinegar, salt, cloves and allspice. Cover and cook until cabbage is crisp-tender, stirring occasionally, about 10 minutes. Uncover, add dry red wine and jelly and cook 5 minutes longer. Season to taste with salt and pepper. Serve warm, room temperature or chilled. (Cabbage can be prepared 1 day ahead. Cover and refrigerate. Reheat over low heat if serving warm.)

Steps:

• Melt the butter in a large heavy casserole. Throw in cabbage, add the black treacle and cook over a low heat, stirring constantly. Stir in the onion; apples and lemon juice; wine and salt and pepper. Simmer gently for 3 hours, stirring occasionally. Adjust seasoning.

Steps:

• Melt butter in a heavy large Dutch oven over medium high heat.
• Add apples and onion and saute until tender, about 10 minutes.
• Stir in cabbage and stir frequently for about 8 minutes.
• Stir in sugar, vinegar, salt, cloves, and allspice.
• Cover and cook until cabbage is crisp-tender about 10 minutes.

Steps:

• 1. In bowl combine egg, salt, pepper, Worcestershire sauce, onion and milk; mix well.
• 2. Add ground beef, ground pork and cooked rice; beat together with a fork.
• 3. Immerse cabbage leaves in boiling water for 3 minutes or just until limp; drain. The heavy center vein of leaf may be slit about 2 1/2 inches.
• 4. Place 1/2 cup meat mixture on each leaf, fold in sides and roll ends over meat. Place rolls in 12 x 7 1/2 x 2 inch baking dish.
• 5. Blend together soup, brown sugar and lemon juice; pour over cabbage rolls. Bake in moderate oven 350-degrees for 1 1/4 hours. Baste once or twice with sauce.
• 6. I always serve this dish with mashed potatoes. We then drizzle the tomato soup over the potatoes.

Steps:

• Core cabbage, then shred cabbage. Place in large pot and cook (on medium-high) in a small amount of water until tender (essentially steaming it). Will probably take about 10 minutes.
• Drain cabbage.
• Add remaining ingredients to cabbage, and stir.
• Serve.

Steps:

• Remove the stem from the cabbage and poach the head in boiling salted water for a few minutes.
• Separate the outer leaves and remove any coarse stalks.
• Let cool.
• Rinse the rice and boil soft in the milk for about 20 minutes.
• Let cool.
• Finely chop the onion and sautée in the butter until transparent.
• Let cool.
• Mix meat, eggs, onion, milk, spices and rice.
• Put about two ounces of the mixture on each cabbage leaf and roll to small dolmas (rolls).
• Place them on a greased tray.
• Put the sugar or syrup on top together with a little melted butter.
• Bake in the oven at 175 degrees C/ 350 F for about 30 minutes; add the gravy or sauce, raise the heat a little and bake for another 20-30 minutes.
• Serve the rolls with boiled or mashed potatoes (maybe enriched with cream and butter) and Farmors Gurka ("Grandma'sCucumber"): Thinly sliced cucumber marinated in strong vinegar, sugar, salt and parsley.
• (Personally, I'm not very fond of the sugar/syrup in the recipe, so I use to exclude it, but that's only because I'm against sweet ingredients in main courses in general).
