Jager Kohl Recipes

JäGER KOHL (HUNTER'S CABBAGE)

Steps:

• In a large skillet over medium heat, brown kielbasa and bacon. Add sliced potatoes and just enough water to make steam. Cook, covered, for 15 minutes.
• Add cabbage and sprinkle with flour, salt, pepper, and vinegar. Stir to combine. Cover and cook 45 minutes, or until cabbage is tender, adding water as needed.
• Serve with sour cream and caraway seeds, if desired.

JAEGERKOHL (HUNTER'S CABBAGE)

Steps:

• heat oil or bacon.
• Add onions, cabbage and sugar and fry until light to medium brown (about 10 minutes).
• Add the remaining ingredients (except cream) and leave to cook for another 15 minutes.
• The cabbage should still have a bit of a bite to it.
• Add the cream and adjust the taste.

TOMATO CABBAGE (TOMATEN KOHL)

Steps:

• In a 4-quart pot, melt bacon fat and add chopped onions. Saute over low-medium heat until translucent, approximately 5 minutes.
• Cut cabbage into one-inch by two-inch strips approximately. I cut the head into quarters, cut out the core, and then slice across the wedge.
• Add chopped cabbage into pot, stirring to mix with the onions, adding a little more bacon fat if needed to coat the cabbage.
• Sprinkle vinegar over cabbage in pot, then stir in salt, pepper, and caraway seed. Simmer until wilted, about 10 minutes, stirring once or twice.
• Add tomatoes and tomato sauce when cabbage has wilted.
• Stir in allspice. Adjust seasonings to taste. Sometimes I add a teaspoon or more of sugar to cut any bitter/acidic taste.
• Cover and simmer for 30 to 40 minutes. Check after 20 minutes if you like it crisp-tender. I usually cook it 40 to 45 minutes so it's really tender.
• For variety, increase the amount of and/or substitute different tomatoes -- crushed tomatoes, tomato puree, or tomato juice/V8. This makes it 'soupier,' and then we just serve it in cereal bowls or rice bowls on the side to enjoy every drop of the liquid!
