Ingredients * 1 tablespoon olive oil * 1 1/4 lbs pork tenderloins, cut into bite sized pieces * 1 1/2 lbs sweet potatoes, peeled and cubed * 2 poblano peppers, seeded and diced * 1 cup chopped onion * 1 tablespoon chopped garlic * 1 teaspoon cumin * 1/2 teaspoon cinnamon * 1 (14 1/2 ounce) can fat free chicken broth * 1/2 cup water * 1 cup frozen corn * 1 1/2 cups salsa, a chipotle version suggested * cilantro (to garnish) Directions 1 Heat 2 teaspoons of the oil in a large saucepan over medium heat. Add the cubed tenderloin and cook for 7 minutes, turning so all sides are browned and the pork is cooked. Remove from pan and set aside. 2 Add the remaining teaspoon of oil to the pan along with the onions, peppers and sweet potatoes. Cover and cook for three minutes until the vegetables begin to soften. Add the sweet potatoes, continuing to cook another 2 to 3 minutes. 3 Add the garlic, cumin and cinnamon, stirring so that the spices are well mixed into the vegetables. There should be a nice aroma at this point. Stir in the water and broth and bring to a boil. Lower to a simmer and add in the corn. Cook covered for 5 minutes. 4 Add in the salsa and the cooked pork. Cook until heated through. If you are using salsa from the fridge, I would suggest adding it a minute before the meat so that it can heat up without leaving the tender meat tough. 5 Garnish with cilantro and serve with warm tortillas or tortilla chips.

I was checking out who had it online the other day and while you might not want 6 bottles of it.. smiles... Amazon has 6 bottles for $27.05. It's free shipping too. Most places sell it for between five and six or up to eight dollars, so that's a great price. They say they're 15 oz bottles. Maybe somebody else would want to go in on it with you?? I've always heard of it described as a mayo with more vinegar and also with a mustard taste. Sounds good. Smiles. My DW used it when she used to travel to the UK all the time for buisness. Surprised she didn't bring any back. I have a head of savoy cabbage so I'm going to make my easy 'stuffed' cabbage casserole that I described above. It makes it so easy and quick which is just what we want on a Saturday night. Steam the cabbage briefly, layer it with dirty rice, pour some tomato juice mixed with onion and garlic powder between layers and on top and bake for about 40 minutes. I'll see if I can manage to take a picture. I seem to be terrible at that. The camera is always in the other room and it's a kind of big house and by the time I'm done cooking I'm not walking very well. LOL.. We will see. Oh btw, I always make two dishes of this because Christy gets burnt out on "red" since I always have something made with red sauce around I make her a version with just some broth on it. I do stuffed peppers for her the same way. No red. I do love the red on it but prefer tomato juice since it's nice and light although I'll just water down tomato sauce or puree with chicken stock/broth, if I don't have any handy.

* Posted by sally2 (My Page) on Tue, Nov 17, 09 at 20:26 I am getting so hungry reading all these recipes and posts! Here's the potato-fennel soup recipe I mentioned earlier. It was posted on this forum back, oh wow, exactly 3 years ago today, November 17, 2006, by Lynnalexndra. She said in the post that it was an Ina Garten recipe. Roasted Potato-Fennel Soup 4 pounds red potatoes, unpeeled and quartered 1/4 cup plus 2 tablespoons good olive oil 1 tablespoon minced garlic (about 3 cloves) 1 tablepspoon kosher salt 2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper 4 cups choped yellow onions (4 onions) 4 cups chopped fennel bulb (about 2 pounds) 3 quarts chicken stock or water 1 cup heavy cream Pre-heat the oven to 400 degrees. In a large bowl, toss the potatoes with 1/4 cup olive oil, garlic, salt and pepper. Spread on a baking sheet and roast for 30 minutes, until cooked through. Saute the onions and fennel with 2 tablespoons olive oil in a large stock pot on medium heat until translucent, 10 - 15 minutes. Add the roasted potatoes (including the scrapings from the pan) and the chicken stock. Cover and bring to a boil. Lower the heat and simmer uncovered for 1 hour, until all the vegetables are very soft. Add the heavy cream and allow the soup to cool slightly. Pass the soup through the largest disk of a food mill or chop coarsely in batches in a food processor fitted with a metal blade. (I use an immersion blender). Taste for salt and pepper. Reheat and serve hot. This past weekend I made a different roasted potato soup which combined this cookalong with the squash one. I just made it up as I went along. I made a mistake or 2, but it ended up tasting quite good. One of the mistakes I made was cutting the squash up into too small of pieces. I tried peeling it before roasting, but the scalloped shape made that too frustrating, so I decided to roast it first, then scrape the squash out. Well, it was a pain to do since I had cut it up into small pieces. My goal was to get all the vegetables cut into fairly equal sizes. The second mistake was just not having the equipment. I didn't have my trusty immersion blender with me (we were at our Oklahoma house), so I couldn't puree the veggies. I was never able to smash up the onions, so they remained in pretty big pieces. We just called it country style. Next time I make this, I'll experiment with the size of squash pieces and use a blender. Roasted vegetable soup Pre heat oven to 375 degrees 1 acorn squash 2 russet potatoes 2 onions 1 bulb of garlic Olive Oil Salt and pepper to taste dried sage, around 1/2 to 1 teaspoon or to taste Cut up the potatoes and onions into similar sizes. If you can peel the squash ahead of time, that's great, otherwise, just cut it in half, scoop out the seeds, and place along side the other vegetables on a large baking sheet. Coat the veggies with olive oil, and sprinkle with the salt, pepper and sage. Bake until the veggies are barely tender, around 40 minutes to an hour, stirring them every 15 or 20 minutes. Towards the end of roasting time, in a large soup pan, bring some water to a boil, enough water to cover the vegetables. When the veggies are done roasting, add them into the boiling water. Scrape the squash pulp out of the skins and add to the pot, too. Stir and let simmer till the veggies are tender. Turn off heat and puree using an immersion blender if you have one, or just smash them with your spoon as best you can, which is what I did. That makes it more "country style." Enjoy.

Lots of great recipes above that I'll be saving and working my way through. I've loved these pancakes for years and finally found a copy cat recipes that I've been playing with. I add at least twice as much onion and double the parsley. Sour cream and applesauce are my choices to go on top of them. Perkin's Potatoe Pancakes Ingredients: 1 cup all-purpose flour 1 cup whole milk 4 eggs 3 tablespoons butter, melted 3 tablespoons sugar 1/4 teaspoon baking powder 1/2 teaspoon salt 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley 1 tablespoon minced onion 4 shredded fresh potatoes -or- 2 1/2 cups frozen hash browns (defrosted) Directions: Combine all of the ingredients, except for the potatoes, in a large mixing bowl. Beat by hand until smooth. Add the potatoes to the batter and mix by hand until the potatoes are combined. Let the batter rest while you preheat a skillet to about medium heat. Grease the pan with some butter. Ladle 1/4 cup scoops of batter into the pan. Cook as many at a time as will fit comfortably into your pan. Cook each pancake for 1 1/2 to 2 minutes per side until brown.

It's a good reminder of some of the very best uses of potatoes. Then I got to thinking that I didn't notice any basic potato salad recipes..... and what potato collection would be complete without potato salad. I also wanted to share a favorite soup, I make a double batch of this and take to my DM in 8oz freezer containers, every few months.... she loves it! I usually cut back the milk a bit so that it is almost like a side dish. Loaded Baked Potato Soup 4 lg baking potatoes, baked (Note: Plan ahead and bake the potatoes when convenient) 2/3 C butter 2/3 C flour 6 C milk 3/4 tsp salt 1/2 tsp black pepper 4 green onions, chopped and divided 1 1/4 C grated cheddar cheese, divided 12 slices bacon (thick is best), cooked, crumbled and divided 1 8-oz carton sour cream (can use plain yogurt) ~Cut potatoes in half, scoop out the pulp and set aside. Discard skins (or make some potato skin snacks) ~Melt butter in a heavy saucepan, add flour, stirring until smooth. Cook 1 min., stirring constantly and gradually add milk. Cook over medium heat, stirring constantly, until thick and bubbly. ~Add potato pulp, salt pepper, 2 tbsp of the green onion, 1/2 C bacon and 1 C cheese. Cook until thoroughly heated and stir in sour cream. Add extra milk for desired consistency. ~Garnish with remaining onion, bacon and cheese. Yield: about 10 cups. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Backwoods Basic Potato Salad 3# cooked and cooled red potatoes, chopped 4 hard boiled eggs, chopped 2 lg stalks of celery, chopped 6 green onions, chopped ¼ C sweet pickle relish Dressing 1½ C Hellman's (Best Foods) mayo 1 tsp celery seed 1 Tbsp vinegar 1 Tbsp sugar ½ tsp garlic powder 1 tsp salt ½ tsp pepper 1 tsp dry mustard Combine dressing ingredients and toss with potato mixture. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Backwoods Deli Style Potato Salad 3# red potatoes, cooked, cooled and chopped 2 stalks of celery, chopped 6 green onions, chopped ½ C chopped red pepper ½ C thin sliced radishes Dressing 1½ C Miracle Whip 2 Tbsp vinegar 2 Tbsp sugar 1 tsp celery seed 1-2 Tbsp prepared mustard Combine dressing ingredients and toss with potatoes and vegetables. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Blue Cheese Potato Salad 3# cooked red potatoes, cooled and chopped ¼ C dry white wine ½ tsp salt ¼ tsp pepper ½ C mayo (Hellman's) ½ C sour cream 1½ Tbsp Dijon mustard 4 oz. blue cheese, crumbled 3 green onions, chopped fine 1 C coarsely chopped celery In a large bowl combine potatoes, wine, salt and pepper. Let sit until the wine is absorbed by the potatoes, about 30 minutes. Combine mayo with remaining ingredients. Add to potatoes and stir well. Allow about 30 minutes for flavors to combine before serving. This blue cheese salad is great with a good steak or grilled tenderloin. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Ranch Potato Salad 3# cooked red potatoes, cooled and chopped 5-6 green onions, chopped 6-8 slices bacon, cooked and crumbled ½ C shredded cheddar cheese 1 envelope dry ranch dressing mix 1½ C Hellman's Mayo (sometimes I use part sour cream if I have it on hand) Toss together the potatoes, onions, bacon and cheddar. Combine the ranch dressing mix and mayo, pour over the potato mixture and stir to combine.

Did anybody else do it this weekend? I tried Lori's Gnocchi. It was the first time I've ever eaten them, and certainly the first time to make them, but that was half the fun! I think I need more practice, but DH really enjoyed them, so I don't think he'll object to me practicing on him. I did the sage butter sauce that she recommended. Very simple but quite delicious. On the side, I served a spinach salad with dried cranberries, shallots, shredded carrots and toasted almonds, and a vinaigrette made from Trader Joes Orange Mango Vinegar sauce and olive oil.

I was in Toledo, Ohio, I took my mother to the library there to do her geneology stuff, she was looking for birth/death/marriage records, etc. Anyway, while I was at Elery's I made potato bread using the King Arthur Flour recipe. I made it Friday evening and baked it on Saturday to take to Mom's cousin for dinner on Saturday night. I forgot my camera, so no pictures, but here's the recipe: Potato Bread 1 tablespoon dry yeast 9 tablespoons (1/2 cup plus 1 tablespoon) granulated sugar 1 1/2 cups lukewarm (110°F) potato water (water in which potatoes have been cooked) 3/4 cup (1 1/2 sticks) butter, softened 1 1/2 tablespoons salt 2 eggs 1 cup mashed potatoes (5 small potatoes, 2 medium or 1 large) 6 cups (approximately) King Arthur Unbleached All-Purpose Flour Boil unskinned potatoes until easily pierced with the tip of a knife. Remove potatoes from water (reserving water), and let sit till they're cool enough to handle. Peel potatoes and mash them. Set aside. Dissolve yeast and 1 tablespoon of sugar in lukewarm potato water. Beat in butter, remaining 1/2 cup sugar, salt, eggs and potato. Stir in enough flour to make a dough suitable for kneading. Turn dough onto a lightly floured work surface and knead until smooth and elastic, about 10 minutes. Or, knead in a mixer equipped with a dough hook for 5 minutes, or in a food processor for 90 seconds to 2 minutes. Place kneaded dough in a greased bowl, turning to coat all sides. Set bowl in the refrigerator overnight; for maximum flavor, we like to refrigerate it for about 16 hours. Remove dough from refrigerator and shape to fit 3 medium-sized (8 1/2 x 4 1/2-inch) loaf pans, or 1 medium-sized and 1 large (10 x 5-inch) loaf pan, or 8 mini (6 x 3 1/2-inch) loaf pans. Let rise until doubled in bulk, about 4 hours (remember, dough is cold from refrigerator, and will take longer to rise). Bakes loaves in a preheated 375°F oven for 45 minutes, or until bread tests done. Remove from oven and cool on a wire rack.

Cookalong #43 ------ CABBAGE! Posted by wizardnm (My Page) on Mon, Mar 12, 12 at 18:08 As Annie wrote on choosing cabbage..... "Cooked, raw, in cole slaw, with corned beef for St. Patrick's Day, baked, sautéed, cabbage soup, stuffed cabbage, you name it. Ready? Set? Discuss." Everyone is encouraged to share their T+T recipes...I'm just sure some are holding out! There are a couple of recipes I'm on the watch for, they've been posted before but I lost them and they were winners for me.. This Cookalong will run until March 26, 2012.

You cook it for a day, smell it for a mile, and burp it for a week.... :-) Colcannon A traditional Irish dish consisting of cabbage (or kale) and potatoes is a traditional Halloween dish, but it goes well with corned beef. It's also something different to make with some leftover mashed potatoes. Traditional Fried Colcannon 1 bowl of mashed potatoes 1 bowl cooked cabbage or curly kale, chopped 1 onion 2 T. drippings per pound vegetables Sea salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste Milk if necessary Combine the mashed potatoes and cabbage or kale. Mix well. Peel and chop the onion. Melt a little of the drippings in a large, heavy frying pan or griddle and cook the onion in it. Remove and mix with the potato and cabbage. Season to taste, and stir in a little milk if the mixture is too stiff. Add the rest of the drippings to the hot pan and when very hot, turn the potato and cabbage into the pan and spread out. Fry until golden, then roughly cut it and continue frying until there are lots of crisp brown pieces. Just before serving, slip in the wrapped ring. --------------------------------- My favorite Colcannon recipe: 1 pound all-purpose potatoes, peeled 1 pound green cabbage, shredded (4 cups) 1 large onion, chopped (1 cup) (I generally use 1/2 c.) 1/4 c. skim or low-fat milk 1 T. butter or margarine 3 oz. sharp Cheddar (or other hard cheese), coarsely grated, divided Freshly ground black pepper to taste Salt, if desired, to taste (I never need more salt.) 1. Boil the potatoes in lightly salted water until they are tender but not mushy. Drain them, RESERVING the cooking liquid, and set them aside to cool somewhat. 2. Using the potato water (you may need to add more water and bring it back to a boil), boil the cabbage and onion for about 5 minutes. Drain the vegetables and set them aside. 3. Place potatoes in a bowl, add the milk and butter and mash until they are smooth. 4. Add the reserved boiled cabbage and onion to the potato mixture. 5. Mix two-thirds of the cheese with the potato mixture. Season the colcannon with pepper and salt, if desired, and transfer it to a greased casserole or shallow baking dish. Sprinkle the remaining cheese on top. 6. Before serving the colcannon, heat it through in a moderately hot oven (the temperature is not critical -- it can be between 350-425-degrees F, depending on what else you are using the oven for). Let the cheese on top brown slightly. ------------------------------------------ I got this recipe when I took a class on Irish Cookery. Calico Salad 1-1/2 c. finely shredded red cabbage 1-1/2 c. finely shredded green cabbage 2-T. to 1/4 c. minced onion (I also use fresh chives instead of onion.) Mix together. Dressing: 1/4 c. salad dressing (Miracle Whip or Mayo) 1/2 T. vinegar 1 T. sugar dash of salt 1/4 t. celery seed Mix together and add to the vegetables and mix well. o RE: Cookalong #43 ------ CABBAGE! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by jessicavanderhoff (My Page) on Mon, Mar 12, 12 at 20:15 Oooh, what a great one!

Because of St. Patrick's Day, cabbage should be at loss leader prices in the stores this week. My repertoire of cabbage recipes has increased since the advent of microwave ovens, which are great for steaming or parcooking it quickly without that cooked cabbage odor permeating the house. Here's a good winter cabbage soup that doesn't take long to make, once the knife work is completed. SAUSAGE CABBAGE SOUP 1 medium onion, chopped 1 Tbsp. vegetable oil 1 Tbsp. butter or margarine 2 medium carrots, halved and thinly sliced 1 celery rib, thinly sliced 1/2 tsp. caraway seeds 2 cups chicken or ham broth 1 cup water 2 cups chopped cabbage 1/2 pound fully cooked smoked kielbasa, quartered and cut into 1/4 inch slices 1 can (14-1/2 ounces) diced tomatoes, undrained 1 Tbsp. brown sugar 1 can (15 ounces) white kidney beans, rinsed and drained 1 tsp. vinegar Salt and pepper to taste minced fresh parsley (optional) In a 3-qt. saucepan, saute onion and celery in oil and butter until almost tender. Add carrots, caraway seeds, broth, water, cabbage, sausage, tomatoes, and brown sugar; bring to a boil. Reduce heat; cover and simmer for 35-30 minutes or until vegetables are tender. Add beans, vinegar, salt and pepper. Simmer, uncovered, for 5-10 minutes or until heated through. Sprinkle with parsley. Yield: 6 servings. Photobucket No real recipe for this one but I'll steam chopped cabbage in the microwave; then saute it with sliced mushrooms and leeks.

Add enough water to cover by 2 inches. Bring to boil. Reduce heat, cover and simmer until meat is very tender, about 2 hours Preheat oven to 350�F. Heat heavy large pot over medium-high heat. Add bratwurst and bacon. Saut� until bacon is crisp and bratwurst is brown, about 10 minutes. Add onions, spices and bay leaves to same pot. Saut� until onions are tender, about 5 minutes. Add apples; saut� 2 minutes. Mix in sauerkraut. Add all meats; press to submerge. Add reserved broth and wine. Boil 10 minutes. Cover choucroute and bake 1 1/2 hours. Arrange sauerkraut and meats on platter. Serve with mustards and horseradish. NOTE: You can save a bunch of time by using a crockpot. Simply chop onion and apple and dumped everything in the crockpot on high for two hours, low for two hours......low for 6 hours would work too. o RE: Cookalong #43 ------ CABBAGE! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by jasdip (My Page) on Tue, Mar 13, 12 at 13:47 I made this a few weeks ago.

I am anxiously awaiting the end of income tax season to try them and ones from the other recent Cookalongs. Photobucket It's rare to walk into my house and not find a container of pepper cabbage in the fridge (pic above). I haven't made any for years because a local dairy store makes it exactly as we like it - grating cabbage, carrots and green peppers in an ancient machine that looks like an old wringer washer. The dressing is vinegar, sugar, salt and pepper. Sometimes I even eat some for breakfast. When I do make coleslaw, this is my recipe of choice. COLORFUL COLESLAW 1/2 cup vegetable oil 3/4 cup sugar 3/4 cup cider vinegar 3/4 tsp. celery seeds 2 tsp. dried mustard 1/2 tsp. salt 1/4 tsp. black pepper 1/2 head green cabbage, cut into thin shreds 1/2 head red cabbage, cut into thin shreds 1 carrot peeled and coarsely grated 1 small onion, peeled, halved and thinly sliced 1 green pepper, seeded and halved crosswise and thinly sliced 1 sweet red pepper, seeded and halved crosswise and thinly sliced Put red cabbage in a storage container in the refrigerator. Combine oil, sugar and vinegar in small nonaluminum saucepan. Bring to boil over medium heat, stirring occasionally. Simmer for 5 minutes and add celery seeds, mustard, salt and pepper. Remove from heat. Combine all remaining ingredients in a large bowl except for red cabbage. Pour dressing over vegetables and toss. Chill covered for at least four hours, or preferably overnight, stirring occasionally. Add red cabbage about an hour before serving. 12 servings. Note: You can add the red cabbage at the same time as the green but since the color will bleed out of it over time (no change in flavor), the presentation is prettier if you add it right before serving. o RE: Cookalong #43 ------ CABBAGE! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by foodonastump (My Page) on Tue, Mar 13, 12 at 15:14 noinwi - Probably started with something like this, whether homemade or store bought: o RE: Cookalong #43 ------ CABBAGE! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by ritaweeda (My Page) on Tue, Mar 13, 12 at 16:25 Here's one I posted before but I'll do it again.

Heat the olive oil over a medium-high heat in a deep frying pan. Cook the onion and apple for 5 minutes or until softened. Stir in the cabbage and toss well. Add the apple juice, vinegar, sugar substitute and seasoning and stir. 2. Reduce the heat and simmer, covered, for 30 minutes or until the liquid reduces completely and the cabbage is tender. Check seasoning and serve. Leftovers can be chilled for one day and reheated over a moderate heat.

I halved the recipe for just the two of us but it was so good we nearly finished it all, so no problem with making too much. When finely shredded � with a mandolin - the cabbage measured exactly 3 cups (200 grams) for my halved version.

I also add it to everything--soups, stir fries, casseroles, etc. And I make it as a side vegetable, usually braised. BF and I have a bit of a "coleslaw issue" lol! He does not like anything with a sweet-and-sour taste so he doesn't care for the type of slaw with an oil and vinegar and sugar type dressing. And I don't really love the creamy kind, because of all the saturated fat and calories. Why do that to a good, low calorie veggie? Don't answer, rhetorical question! But anyway, we compromise and eat slightly tangy, slightly creamy versions. Here's what's on the docket for dinner tonight, to go with grilled salmon and either potatoes or rice. Napa Cabbage and Snow Pea Slaw (from "Cooking Light") This salad tastes best after chilling in the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. YIELD: 4 servings (serving size: 1 cup) Ingredients Dressing: 2 tablespoons sugar 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice 1 tablespoon fish sauce 1 teaspoon dark sesame oil 1/2 teaspoon grated peeled fresh ginger Dash of ground red pepper Slaw: 4 cups (1/4-inch) slices napa (Chinese) cabbage (I'll use regular cabbage, it is cheaper) 1/2 cup snow peas, trimmed and cut lengthwise into (1/8-inch) thin strips 1/2 cup fresh bean sprouts (I am not organized enough to sprout my own and hardly ever find good ones in the store, so I omit this.) 1/2 cup (1/8-inch) julienne-cut peeled jicama (I never have this on hand, so I use red radishes for the color) 1/4 cup (1/8-inch) julienne-cut red bell pepper (again, I use green peppers because they are cheaper) 2 tablespoons thinly sliced green onions 2 tablespoons finely chopped fresh cilantro Preparation To prepare dressing, combine first 6 ingredients, stirring with a whisk. To prepare slaw, combine cabbage and remaining ingredients in a large bowl. Add dressing, and toss well to coat. Chill 30 minutes. Lpink's notes: I usually don't have cilantro on hand so will use a combo of parsley with dried ground corriander seeds added to the dressing. Also will proably ad a dab of lite mayo for BF's taste. Also, I find Cooking Light recipes usually very "light" indeed on the dressing so will probably add more of everything, but your mileage may vary. Also, if you've never visited "Orangette's" blog, (great food writer IMHO), she has a couple of lovely cabbage articles with recipes. Here's a link to my favorite one about braising cabbage. However, I like her red cabbage and apple recipe better. Orangette - "Tender is the Cabbage." Orangette - "Outline of the Theory of Cabbage."

While noodles are cooking, melt butter in large deep skillet over medium-low heat. Add onion and saute, stirring occasionally for about 5 to 10 minutes, or until softened and just beginning to turn golden. Add cabbage to skillet, stirring well to incorporate with onion, and saute for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cover, reduce heat to low, and let simmer until vegetables are soft. Turn heat back to medium, add cooked noodles, salt and pepper, and stir well until noodles are heated though.

It would have been better if I hadn't used so much of the tough outer leaves, or maybe cooked the tougher leaves a little longer, but I will probably make it again. What happened was that I had a double head of cabbage from my garden at work, and when I tried to harvest the larger head, they both came up -they were conjoined twins. So, I decided to use the smaller head. Well, it turned out that the little bit of head there was was mostly core, with mostly tougher leaves surrounding. That's what I used.

Here is my maiden contribution. My DD 7 loves this dish with rice or pitas. CABBAGE STIRFRY (A dish from southern India) INGREDIENTS cabbage � medium size � finely chopped green chillies � 2 nos. I prefer serrano or thai chillies. Minced (OR) Red chilli (whole) - 2 nos (do not use if you are using green chillis) turmeric powder � 1/2 tsp oil � 1 tbsp brown or black mustard seeds � 1 tsp split pigeon peas or channa dal � 1 tbsp curry leaves � a few (If you can find them in Indian grocery store) salt � to taste Asafoetida � a pinch (optional) Fresh coconut grated or dry unsweetened grated coconut - 2 tbsp (optional) carrots � 2 (optional) grated onion � medium � 1 no. (optional) - fine dice Mung beans soaked and cooked till tender but not too soft(optional) INSTRUCTIONS Keep everything ready as this dish moves fast. Heat a wok or a wide saute pan. Add the oil. When it begins to smoke a bit, add the mustard seeds and let them splutter (covering with the lid or a splatter screen is a good idea here). When the noise dies down, add the asafoetida, the split pigeon peas or channa dal and toast until it begins to turn brown. Add the chilli and and the curry leaves (crumple a bit with your hands to bruise the leaves. This releases the essential oils). Saute until the chilli looks toasted. The oil is now seasoned with all the spices and will work magic on the veggies that follow. Turn heat to high and add the onion if using. Stir fry. When the onion begins to brown, add the cabbage and stir fry till it is well mixed. Cover and let cook for 3 mins or so. Add grated carrots and cooked mung beans if using and mix well. Sprinkle the turmeric powder and salt and mix well. Cover and cook. The stirfry is done when the cabbage is crisp tender.It should look pale and not turn brown. Depending on how dry the cabbage was or how much water content it had, this can be 5 mins or more. Stir occasionally to avoid the cabbage browning. Take off the heat and garnish with the coconut if using. This works beautifully with plain steamed rice or flat breads like lavash, chapathi or as a filling for pitas or mushu wrappers.

Here is my maiden contribution. My DD 7 loves this dish with rice or pitas. CABBAGE STIRFRY (A dish from southern India) INGREDIENTS cabbage - 1 medium size, finely chopped green chillies - 2 nos. I prefer serrano or thai chillies. Minced (OR) Red chilli (whole) - 2 nos (do not use if you are using green chillis) Turmeric powder - 1/2 tsp oil - 1 tbsp brown or black mustard seeds - 1 tsp split pigeon peas or channa dal - 1 tbsp curry leaves - a few (If you can find them in Indian grocery store) salt - to taste Asafoetida - a pinch (optional) Fresh coconut grated or dry unsweetened grated coconut - 2 tbsp (optional) carrots - 2 (optional) grated onion - medium - 1 no. (optional) - fine dice Mung beans (green whole)soaked and cooked till tender but not too soft(optional) INSTRUCTIONS Keep everything ready as this dish moves fast. Heat a wok or a wide saute pan. Add the oil. When it begins to smoke a bit, add the mustard seeds and let them splutter (covering with the lid or a splatter screen is a good idea here). When the noise dies down, add the asafoetida, the split pigeon peas or channa dal and toast until it begins to turn brown. Add the chilli and and the curry leaves (crumple a bit with your hands to bruise the leaves. This releases the essential oils). Saute until the chilli looks toasted. The oil is now seasoned with all the spices and will work magic on the veggies that follow. Turn heat to high and add the onion if using. Stir fry. When the onion begins to brown, add the cabbage and stir fry till it is well mixed. Cover and let cook for 3 mins or so. Add grated carrots and cooked mung beans if using and mix well. Sprinkle the turmeric powder and salt and mix well. Cover and cook. The stirfry is done when the cabbage is crisp tender.It should look pale and not turn brown. Depending on how dry the cabbage was or how much water content it had, this can be 5 mins or more. Stir occasionally to avoid the cabbage browning. Take off the heat and garnish with the coconut if using. This works beautifully with plain steamed rice or flat breads like lavash, chapathi or as a filling for pitas or mushu wrappers.

One of your listed ingredients, "Asafoetida - a pinch (optional)" is something I thought was a pouch of stinky stuff people used to wear to keep illness, and maybe every thing else away. Can you explain that ingredient?

Elery is so going to love this recipe. I'm headed for the Mediterranean grocery in a couple of weeks and I'm putting asafoetida, mung beans and channa dal on my list. So that's two green chilies, minced? It says green chilies - 2 nos. That's two whole chilies? Annie o RE: Cookalong #43 ------ CABBAGE! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by lalitha (My Page) on Thu, Mar 22, 12 at 14:54 Sally --> Asafoetida is actually a commonly used ingredient in indian and srilankan cooking. It is derived from roots of a plant related to the parseley family. You can find in all indian grocery stores in a powder form in little boxes. It is highly fragrant and is believed to be a digestive aid. It is either used in seasoning a dish in the beginning when it is added to the oil seasoning or at the end when a tiny pinch can be dissolved in a tbsp of water and sprinkled on top. Annie --> Green chilli or red chilli is again for flavor.. feel free to reduce based on what your taste buds like. You can also just slit the chilli halfway and use that.. that will reduce the heat somewhat compared to mincing. For my daghter I usually use just 1 chilli slit. You can also use Urad dal (looks small white skinned and split lentil) instead of chana dal.. This is very fragrant and a great ingredient to have for making indian food. It kind of works like a flavoring/ thickening agent in chutneys and curries.. similar to how pinenuts or other nuts work in pesto. o RE: Cookalong #43 ------ CABBAGE! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by annie1992 (My Page) on Thu, Mar 22, 12 at 17:35 thanks, lalitha, I do have Urad dal, I have about 4 kinds of lentils, I like them and use them a lot. I'm a wuss so I'd go for the split chilies, but Elery likes stuff HOT, with a capital "H", so I'd make it for him with minced chilies. I'd just have to take my portion out first.

I'm always interested in trying new Indian recipes, and this one sounds great. I already love palaak paneer, with another of my favorite veggies! I got some Asafoetida but I hardly ever use it. I can't even remember what I bought it for. I was thinking aloo mutter (sorry if that's not spelled correctly but I'm thinking of the dish with potatoes and peas) but I'm not sure it is one of the ingredients for that . . . I can't make aloo mutter anymore because my SO can't eat peas, he claims they are bad for his gout. I guess I could make it with broccoli, which he loves. I really miss peas, lol! o RE: Cookalong #43 ------ CABBAGE! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by sally2 (My Page) on Fri, Mar 23, 12 at 9:44 I'm eager to try your recipe, too, Lalitha, if I can find the ingredients. I'm pretty sure I can - I can find almost anything in the Dallas area. I'm pretty sure there's an Indian grocery not to far from me. Thanks for the info on Asafoetida. Sally o RE: Cookalong #43 ------ CABBAGE! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by Lindac (My Page) on Fri, Mar 23, 12 at 10:33 Because last weekend was busy, I made the traditional corned beef and cabbage on Tuesday. I bought a point cut, I like it better because although it has that large fat cap, I can cut it off and the rest of the meat has less fat throughout than the flat. I simmered the meat in my largest Dutch oven, just covered with water for a couple of hours, added about a pound of peeled carrots, cooked another hour or a little more, then added 6 peeled russet potatoes. Red would have been better but I had none, and when the pot had come back to a simmer, added a wedged up a head of cabbage. Yum but with only 4 people there were a lot of leftovers. So last night I made scalloped cabbage and corned beef hash, and invited a friend who's family was out of town. Oh my! Almost better than the original meal! For the scalloped cabbage, I rough chopped the already cooked cabbage and layered it in a casserole with just a little thinly sliced onion, pepper on each layer, and poured about 3/4 cup of half and half mixed with a couple of Tablespoons of flour over the top....added some dry bread crumbs and a sprinkle of grated parmesan cheese. Baked it at 350 for about 45 minutes.....and it was heaven!! o RE: Cookalong #43 ------ CABBAGE! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by dukerdawg (My Page) on Fri, Mar 23, 12 at 11:22 Scalloped cabbage!?? Interesting...sounds great! Never thought of that. I love cabbage but I usually just add a couple tablespoons of bacon fat to a big deep pan, added rough chopped cabbage and a sliced onion, a handful of garlic cloves ...it gets like oven roasted garlic...very tasty but I love garlic..drizzle with some olive oil or vegetable oil, salt, pepper and fry until it looks good enough to eat! Don't overcook or it turns to mush :-( Duane o RE: Cookalong #43 ------ CABBAGE! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by Lindac (My Page) on Fri, Mar 23, 12 at 11:29 Well....this was pretty well mush. A lot of the flavor was due to the fact that the cabbage had been cooked in with the corned beef, then cooked again in a sort of cream sauce... Yep...mush but good mush!! If you aren't cooking the cabbage in with the corned beef, then you need to add bacon drippings of some crumbled bacon. o RE: Cookalong #43 ------ CABBAGE! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by lpinkmountain (My Page) on Fri, Mar 23, 12 at 12:51 Coleslaw report on the Cooking Light recipe I posted. BF downright hates it! It is just not "traditional" enough for him. Coleslaw must be creamy in his book. I like it and brought it to a party and it was well received. For cilantro lovers only, that's what makes the dish. This is another favorite of mine, sort of like cabbage rolls deconstructed. I have to alter, because again, BF doesn't like sweet sour tastes. Slow Cooked Italain Sausage Agrodolce (I usually make on the stovetop in my braising pan, and then finish in the oven. Also, I usually use fake meat italian sausages, or chicken or turkey ones) 2 TBLSP pine nuts toasted (can't afford these, usually use some other kind of seed or nut, like pepitas or walnuts) 1.5 lbs. mild italian pork sausage (or much less!) 1 TBLSP evoo 10 cups green cabbage, thinly sliced into bite sized pieces. Can use the savoy cabbage but I use regular, it's cheaper 3 cups peeled and diced red onion (how many onions this is depends on the size of onions you get. My local stores only seem to sell huge ones) 1/2 cup golden raisins (I use the regular brown ones most of the time) 1 14.5 oz can diced tomatoes with garlic and olive oil. Or add your own garlic to a can of diced tomatoes. 1 6 oz. can tomato paste 1/2 tsp. crushed red pepper 1/2 cup red wine vinegar (I use WAY less than this. I think I just add a splash of balsamic vinegar. It might work with 1/2 cup red wine, not vinegar but I haven't tried it that way.) 1 TBLSP sugar Brown sausage and set aside. I chop it up into smaller pieces. Layer cabbage and onions in slow cooker, if using. I just sautee them in the evoo. Combine raisins with tomato sauce ingredients. Pour atop the mixture and then top with the reserved sausages. Set cooker on high for 4-6 hours or low 8-10 hours. Honestly my cooker cooks so fast that 3 hours on high or 5 on low would be about all it would take. Serve garnished with toasted nuts if desired. I like also with a dab of lite sour cream. Could also serve with a poached egg. o RE: Cookalong #43 ------ CABBAGE! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by wizardnm (My Page) on Sun, Mar 25, 12 at 23:39 Time to think about our next ingredient, I draw a name tomorrow morning. o RE: Cookalong #43 ------ CABBAGE! clip this post email this post what is this? see most clipped and recent clippings Posted by ynnej (My Page) on Mon, Mar 26, 12 at 0:52 LPink, the slaw sounds like it would be right up my alley, although I have yet to find a good substitute for fish sauce (and the vegan ones I've tasted haven't really compared.) My hubby is the same way- his slaws have to be drenched in mayo, which I just can't stand.

Toast almonds and sesame seeds. Mix dressing and toss with salad. Throw out the Top Ramen seasoning packet. Crush the raw noodles and add them just before serving. This would taste good with shredded chicken added too.
