Marian Burross Red Cabbage Recipes

STEWED RED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Place cabbage in a large pot. Add onion, apples and pear. Place cloves and peppercorns on a double layer of cheesecloth and tie with string to make a bag. Add the bag and all the remaining ingredients to the pot. Cover and refrigerate overnight.
• Place pot, uncovered, over medium-low heat. Bring liquid to a simmer. Simmer, stirring occasionally, until cabbage is tender and liquid has reduced and thickened, about 2 hours. Remove bag, cinnamon stick and bay leaf. Add salt to taste. Serve hot.

RED CABBAGE, APPLES AND RICE

Steps:

• Bring rice and water to boil. Reduce heat and simmer rice, covered, until water is absorbed and rice is tender, 17 minutes total.
• Meanwhile, saute onions in hot oil until they begin to brown. Stir in cumin and apples and saute until apples begin to brown.
• Add the cabbage, ginger, prunes and apple juice, and bring to boil. Cook covered over high heat about 5 minutes; remove cover and continue to cook over medium heat until most of the liquid is absorbed.
• When rice is cooked, stir it into the cabbage mixture and serve.

SWEET AND SOUR RED CABBAGE AND APPLES

Steps:

• Mince garlic. If using a food processor to grate the cabbage, use it to mince the garlic; otherwise mince by hand.
• Grate whole cabbage.
• Heat oil in nonstick pan, and add garlic and cabbage. Saute over medium heat.
• Meanwhile wash, core and cut apples into bite-size chunks. Add to cabbage mixture, and stir well.
• Add remaining ingredients. Cover, and cook over low heat, until apples are tender, about 7 minutes.

MARIAN BURROS'S RED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Slice five center slices from each cabbage, one-quarter- to one-half-inch thick. Saute in hot butter about three minutes, until barely soft, so cabbage slices keep their shape.
• Stir in preserves and wine to glaze cabbage.
