SWEDISH CABBAGE CASSEROLE - KåLPUDDING

Steps:

• In a large non-stick skillet, heat 2 tablespoons oil or butter over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage and lightly fry it, often stirring, for about 5-10 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons molasses and season with salt and pepper to taste. Lower the heat to medium; cook until all the liquid has evaporated and the cabbage is caramelized, about 15 minutes. Set aside.
• Meanwhile, in a large mixing bowl, mix the pound of ground meat, 1 chopped onion, 2 cloves minced garlic, 1 cup heavy cream, 3 tbsp bread crumbs, 4 tbsp water, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, 1 tablespoon Worcestershire sauce, and salt and pepper to taste.
• Add 1/3 of the caramelized cabbage to the meat mixture and mix again to combine.
• Place the meat mixture into a greased 10-inch cast-iron skillet or baking dish and top with the remainder of the cabbage. Bake for 45 minutes in a 350 degrees Fahrenheit preheated oven, or until meat is cooked and cabbage turns a beautiful brown color.
• Allow resting 10 minutes before serving. Serve with boiled or mashed potatoes and lingonberry preserves.

DANISH RED CABBAGE (RøDKåL)

Steps:

• Step 1: Finely shred the red cabbage and make sure that the pieces are not too long. Put the shredded red cabbage in a large sauce pan.
• Step 2: Pour the vinegar in the sauce pan, turn on the heat and let it simmer for about 30 minutes. Stir in the cabbage regularly so that it doesn't burn to the bottom of the sauce pan.
• Step 3: Add the juice, sugar and salt to the sauce pan and let it simmer for another 30 minutes or until it has the right consistency. The consistency is basically up to you - the longer you cook it the softer you will get the red cabbage.
• Step 4: Clean some glass jars using boiling water. This will kill all bacteria so that the red cabbage will last longer. Pour the red cabbage onto the jars and seal them right away. Keep the jars refrigerated.
