MICROWAVE RED CABBAGE WITH BACON AND CARAWAY SEEDS



Microwave Red Cabbage with Bacon and Caraway Seeds image

Braised cabbage is a common German side dish, but can often be overly rich. This lightened-up version could not be simpler, since everything from the bacon to the cabbage is cooked in the microwave. Caraway seeds lend an earthy note to the dish while apple cider vinegar keeps it from becoming too heavy. Pair the cabbage with an oven-roasted pork tenderloin for a hint of Germany at your dinner table.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 slices bacon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large shallot, thinly sliced (about 1/3 cup)
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 pounds red cabbage, cored, quartered and thinly sliced
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Line a large heatsafe plate with 4 sheets of paper towels. Lay the bacon slices side-by- side on top of the paper towels, then top with 2 additional sheets of paper towels. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Check the bacon to see if it is cooked through and crispy. If not, cook in 1-minute intervals until the bacon is crispy. Reserve.
  • Put the butter, shallot and caraway seeds into a large heatsafe glass bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute to melt the butter. Add the cabbage, apple cider vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the melted butter and stir to combine. Cover with a vented lid or plastic wrap with 6 small holes poked in it. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Carefully uncover and stir the cabbage. Cover again and cook, stirring every 5 minutes, until the largest parts of the cabbage are wilted and tender, 10 to 15 additional minutes.
  • Use a pair of tongs to transfer the cabbage to a serving platter; discard any extra liquid in the bowl. Roughly chop the bacon and sprinkle over the cabbage. Serve immediately.

Microwave setting: HIGH 100% If you like the onions real soft, start by microwaving them in the butter first. Then add the meat and cook again according to the recipe directions. Onions have a tendency to remain hard if not cooked separately.

MICROWAVE CABBAGE SOUP



Microwave Cabbage Soup image

I ate a cabbage soup at a restaurant that was so delicious, I had to seek out the recipe. I was so happy when I found a version of this recipe in one of my older cookbooks. I changed some ingredients to match the taste of what I ate at the restuarant and here is the result. The cook times will vary greatly from microwave to microwave, so you may need to keep checking for doneness the first time. If you like a little more zest, toss in a little garlic or a slice of ginger, or even float some fresh jalapeno slices on top if you like it really spicy. I have posted the family friendly version, but feel free to adjust the seasonings to your liking. Please note: despite the addition of milk in this, the soup is not a creamy soup, but is more brothy.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 45m

Yield 5 cups, 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 10

4 cups green cabbage, chopped or shredded finely
3 tablespoons unsalted butter or 3 tablespoons margarine
2 onions, chopped (I use Vidalia sweet onions)
1 bunch scallion, chopped (green & white parts, reserving some of the green for garnish)
1 teaspoon salt
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1/2 teaspoon granulated sugar
2 (16 ounce) cans chicken broth or 2 (16 ounce) cans vegetable broth
1 cup skim milk, warmed
1 cup shredded carrot (approx 2 carrots)

Steps:

  • You will need a deep, heavy microwave safe cooking dish- such as a round Corningware casserole (no lid).
  • Put butter in casserole and heat for 40 seconds on HIGH heat (or until melted).
  • Add cabbage, onions, scallions, salt, pepper, and sugar.
  • Cook on HIGH 4-6 minutes.
  • Add the broth and cook on HIGH another 15 minutes.
  • Add the warm milk (I remove the soup from the microwave and heat up the milk for 1 minute or so in a glass measure).
  • Stir in the carrots and return to the microwave to heat on HIGH 3-4 minutes.
  • Test for seasonings- add more salt, pepper, or sugar if needed to suit your tastes.
  • You may need to adjust cooking times for your microwave- if cabbage is not tender enough yet, keep microwaving in 3-4 minute intervals on HIGH,stirring, until veggies are cooked to your liking.
