Sweet And Sour Red Cabbage With Raisins And Pistachios Recipes

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 150°C/300°F/gas mark 2.
• Layer the cabbage, onion, sultanas, vinegar, sugar, apples, butter and mixed spice into a baking dish and season with the salt and some black pepper. Add the orange rind and juice.
• Cover the dish with kitchen foil and bake for 2 1/2 hours, removing the foil for the last 20 minutes of cooking. Serve hot or cold.

Steps:

• Bring the rice and water to a boil in a saucepan over high heat. Reduce heat to medium-low, cover, and simmer until the rice is tender and the liquid has been absorbed, 20 to 25 minutes.
• Fill a large pot with water and bring it to a boil. Boil the heads of cabbage, one at a time, until softened but still firm, about 5 minutes. Remove and let cool for 15 minutes.
• Combine the ground beef, eggs, cooked rice, 1 1/2 teaspoons of garlic powder, salt and pepper, and 1/2 cup ketchup in a bowl. Mix with your hands until well combined.
• Prepare the cabbage leaves by shaving a slice off of the large vein in the center of the leaves so they'll be easier to roll. Place a heaping spoonful of the filling in the center of the leaf. Fold in the left and right edges and roll up the leaf from the bottom, forming a tight cylinder. Secure with toothpicks if necessary. Continue filling and rolling the leaves; save the smaller cabbage leaves and set them aside.
• Chop the reserved cabbage leaves. Place the chopped cabbage in a large pot. Add the sliced onion, crushed tomatoes, raisins, sour salt (citric acid powder), salt and pepper, 1/2 cup ketchup, and the remaining 1 1/2 teaspoons garlic powder. Stir in 1/2 cup of white sugar and bring the mixture to a boil.
• Taste the sauce and adjust the sweetness, if desired, by adding the additional 1/2 cup of sugar. Place the cabbage rolls into the sauce. Pour the remaining 1 cup of ketchup on top of the rolls. Cover the pot, and reduce the heat to a simmer.
• Cook the rolls for 3 hours, basting the rolls every half hour.

Steps:

• Cook the bacon strips to the desired crispness in a large heavy, ovenproof pan with a tight fitting cover. Remove the bacon, drain on paper towels, slice into 1/2" pieces and reserve. Bacon should not be overly crisp.
• Drain excess grease, but leave enough in the pan to coat the cabbage. Deglaze the pan with the apple cider. Add the vinegar and dark brown sugar. Mix well until the sugar is completely dissolved. Boil briefly to reduce slightly. Add the raisins, apples, bacon and cabbage. Stir well to blend and coat the cabbage with the pan juices. Bring to a boil on top of the stove, uncovered, over medium-high heat.
• When the mixture comes to a boil, cover the pan and put it into a preheated 400 degree oven. Bake for one hour. Remove from oven, stir well and check the liquid level in the pan. If all liquid is evaporated, add 1/2 cup of apple cider to re-moisten the mixture. Replace cover and bake for an additional 30 minutes.
• Remove pan from the oven. Stir well and let rest 5 minutes before serving.
