Red cabbage recipes

[Tommy Tainant]

Im eating more and more red cabbage. It has never been fashionable but these days you can get it braised with apples and pre packed which saves time.

I find it goes with just about anything.

My wife cooks it from scratch on occasion. Red cabbage, apples to taste. Some port to taste, sugar and lemon juice.

I had it with xmas dinner last time and its a welcome change from sprouts and carrots.

Ive made coleslaw with it before but im shocked at how underused this vegetable is. Do you have any recipes ?

They key is to wilt it in bacon fat and then braise it in a water/vinegar combination.

Red cabbage adn pork tacos. Use lime zest and juice for added flavor.

I'm in the mood for a dump dinner. Good idea to render a pound of bacon for it, then I'll have a bit of fat to use for the cabbage!

You're eating what's good for you. 83 million Germans can't be wrong.

What's a dump dinner?

Start with frozen hash browns and some kind of meat, a can of whatever soup -- usually cream of mushroom -- and chopped onions and a cup or so of shredded cheese. Whatever else strikes your fancy. Dump it all into the slow cooker in the morning, on low, and come dinner time it's ready. Easy dinner for a busy day.

PS -- love your sig.

Sounds like a Mulligan Stew.

I made some of those when I was in school.

Take everything in your MRE and pour it in your canteen-cup and just mix it all together. It's usually done in about 45 mins.

At home I used to make a stew with fried hamburger, frozen veggies, chopped potatoes, and a can of chopped tomatoes.

A lot better than Campbell's Soup.

That hamburger soup makes me think of a time a few months ago when I was absent from church because I wasn't feeling well, and one of my friends dropped by with that very soup! It was just what I needed.

Usually I would put some Knorr's Beef Broth in it instead of just salt and pepper.

Oh, I forgot. Put either some Garlic powder in it or fried chopped Garlic. And put Italian spices in it, a little Rosemary and a single Bay Leaf in. I can have it done in a couple of hours.....but it's better when it cooks longer.

Depends on how much time you want to put into it.

Yep. I love Knorr's Beef Broth, but I also have several dozen pints of homemade beef broth in my pantry. Second best part of buying beef by the quarter or half.

The broth does it right. Italian seasonings, or sometimes Mrs. Dash. Some form of garlic, for certain. I also dry can a lot of veggies from my garden, which work well in this soup.

I really can't grow a garden. If the rabbits don't eat it all, the deer eat what's left. Only thing I can grow is cucumbers and corn.
Every night there a big family of deer parked out in the back yard.

I was feeding them deer corn all Winter to make sure they didn't starve. They started eating my bushes in October. They seem to have a taste for Hydrangea plants.

My condolences.

First thing I did upon buying my home was to build a 6' tall cedar fence.

But it doesn't stop the bunnies, indeed. I grow everything in cedar boxes, a lot of it vertically, and with chicken wire at ground level. They leave my cabbage and tomatoes alone and I use taller boxes for carrots. I think I'll even consider spreading my dog's hair and my own urine around the outer perimeter -- I've heard both can be deterrents. I'd suffer if I couldn't have my garden. I love growing an excess to share with church folks and different causes.

What really nailed me was the first winter when the bunnies killed my apple tree by gnawing the bark all the way around. That's when I put sturdy metal mesh barriers around the trunks. Looks like I will have good crops of apples and pears this year.

Interesting to know about the hydrangea. I've never grown any because I've heard they can be fussy. I don't see many locally, and all my perennials, I plant annually, because of our brutally cold winter temps.

We had hydrangea in California and I've had this same bush for 20 years. Best way to take care of them is plant them in the shade and give them high-acid fertilizer. Same kind you give Begonias or Pineapple plants. Azaleas seem to like acid soil. They go pretty well with Pine Trees. But if you want your hydrangea blossoms to change color from pink to blue, just up the acid.

If it gets too cold just put them in pots and grow them on your porch. Make sure they get plenty of water.

I have heard the trick about changing the blossom color. The ones I like best are very deep blue.

I have almost no shade. The north side of my home is all business -- rainbarrels, tool storage, et cetera.

They wilt under direct Sunlight when the temps get into the 90s. But mine keep coming back.
