CABBAGE-CARROT CASSEROLE

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 350 degrees F (175 degrees C).
• Dissolve bouillon cubes in water in a large pot over medium-high heat. Cook cabbage and carrots in the seasoned water until tender, 20 to 30 minutes. Drain, reserving 1/2 cup of the cooking liquid. Transfer cabbage and carrots to an 8x11-inch casserole dish.
• Melt butter in a saucepan over medium heat. Stir flour into melted butter until hot, about 1 minutes. Pour reserved cooking liquid and milk into the flour mixture; stir until smooth. Add cheese to milk mixture; cook and stir until cheese is melted and the mixture is smooth and thick. Pour cheese sauce over cabbage and carrots; stir to coat. Season with paprika.
• Bake in preheated oven until hot and bubbly, 20 to 30 minutes.

CABBAGE STEW

Steps:

• Chop onions, bacon or pork, potatoes and carrots.
• Fry onion and bacon or pork until onion is soft.
• Add the cabbage, fry for 10 minutes until it starts to soften.
• Add the rest of the vegatbles and spices, with beef stock. Simmer for about 30 minutes until all vegetables are done.
• Serve with lingonberry or cranberry jam.

SAUTéED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Cut the cabbage in half from its top down through its core. Place the cut-side down on your cutting board, then slice it as thinly as possible around the core so that you have fine ribbons. Discard the core.
• Heat a large saute pan or similar heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and butter. Once the butter is melted, add the cabbage, salt, and pepper. Saute for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and begins to brown. Don't feel like you need to constantly stir it. Leaving cabbage undisturbed for a minute or two as you go is what will allow it to develop brown caramelized bits (aka FLAVOR).
• Remove from the heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar. Taste and add a bit of additional salt and pepper if you like, or a splash more vinegar if you'd like to add more zippy and acidic flavors. Sprinkle with thyme. Serve warm.

• Transfer cabbage mixture to prepared baking dish.
• In a small bowl, stir together soup and mayonnaise. Spread mixture over cabbage.
• In a bowl, stir together melted butter, cheese, and cracker crumbs. Sprinkle over casserole.
• Bake for 30 minutes or until topping is browned.
