Green Beans and Cabbage 'Scandia' image

My Grandmother made this when I was a kid, and I loved it. I was thinking about it recently, but I didn't have any cabbage, so I used cauliflower instead. That was good too. I never have any bouillon cubes around so I just use a teaspoon of miso instead.

Categories     Vegetable

Time 40m

Yield 6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 lb green beans
2 cups chopped cabbage
1 tablespoon butter
1 tablespoon vinegar
1 teaspoon sugar
1 bouillon cube
1 tablespoon minced fresh dill or 2 teaspoons dried dill
1 tablespoon cornstarch
salt and pepper

Steps:

  • Wash, trim, slice and steam the green beans.
  • Save 2/3 cup of the cooking water.
  • Cool the beans in cold water to prevent them from cooking more from their own heat.
  • Chop the cabbage, and set both vegetables aside.
  • In a double boiler, melt the butter with the vinegar, sugar, bouillon cube, dill, salt and pepper to taste, and add the cornstarch mixed with a little cold water (about 1 tbsp.) Cook until the sauce thickens, stirring constantly, then thin it with the bean cooking water.
  • Add the cabbage and cook it for 5 to 10 minutes, stirring frequently, then add the beans.
  • Stir well to be sure the vegetables are well coated in the sauce. Thin with a little more water if needed.
  • Heat through and serve.
