Sweet And Sour Cabbage Borscht Recipes

Steps:

• Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Add 3/4 teaspoon caraway seeds and 1 minced garlic clove; cook, stirring, 1 minute. Halve 2 pounds carrots lengthwise and cut into 2-inch pieces; add to the skillet along with 1/2 cup water, 3 tablespoons each brown sugar and cider vinegar, and salt and pepper to taste. Bring to a simmer, cover and cook 15 minutes. Stir in 4 cups shredded red cabbage and season with salt; cook 5 minutes. Remove from the heat and add a squeeze of lemon juice. Transfer to a bowl and top with torn fresh dill and parsley.

Steps:

• 1. Crockpot method: Core your cabbage and slice to ¼-½ thickness. Dump everything except lemon juice, (make sure you only add the 2 quart amount of water) into a large crockpot and cook, on low 10-12 hours or on high, 4-6 hours. Turn off heat and let rest for several hours. Skim off most of the fat that rises to the top. Even better refrigerate overnight and remove the congealed fat and then reheat on the stove (never reheat something in a crockpot). Add the lemon juice to the flavor you like. This is wonderful with homemade bread of your choice.
• 2. Oven method: combine meat, water and salt in a 5-quart pot. Bring to a simmer over high heat. Lower heat and simmer, uncovered, for 1 hour. After the hour, add your cored and sliced (see above) cabbage, ketchup,tomato paste,and sugar to the pot. Return to a simmer and cook, covered, for 2 hours longer, till meat is falling apart. Turn off heat and let rest for several hours. Skim off most of the fat that rises to the top. Even better refrigerate overnight and remove the congealed fat and then reheat adding the lemon juice to your taste. This is wonderful with homemade bread of your choice.
