Best 4 Bruschetta With Cabbage Braised In Wine Recipes

BRUSCHETTA

Steps:

• In a small skillet, heat the oil over medium-high heat. Add the garlic and stir, lightly frying for about a minute, removing before the garlic gets too brown (it can be golden). Pour the garlic and oil into a mixing bowl and allow to cool slightly.
• Add the red and yellow tomatoes, balsamic and basil to the bowl. Sprinkle with salt and pepper. Toss to combine, and then taste and add more basil if needed, and more salt if needed (don't over salt, though!) Cover and refrigerate for an hour or two if you have the time.
• Cut the baguette into diagonal slices to allow for the most surface area possible. Melt 4 tablespoons of the butter in a large skillet and grill half the bread on both sides, making sure they're nice and buttery. Cook until golden brown on both sides. Repeat with the remaining 4 tablespoons butter and the other half of the bread.
• To serve, give the tomato mixture a final stir, and then spoon generously over the slices of bread. Serve on a big platter as a first course or appetizer.

BRUSCHETTA WITH CABBAGE BRAISED IN WINE

Steps:

• Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy skillet and add leeks. Cook, stirring, until they begin to soften, about 3 minutes. Add minced garlic and rosemary and cook, stirring, for another 30 seconds to a minute, until fragrant. Stir in cabbage and a generous pinch of salt and cook, stirring often, until it begins to soften, about 5 minutes. Add dissolved tomato paste and paprika and stir together. Add white wine, Parmesan rind and salt to taste, bring to a simmer, cover and reduce heat to low. Cook, stirring from time to time, for about 20 to 25 minutes, until cabbage is soft and sweet. Remove Parmesan rind. Add freshly ground pepper, taste and adjust salt. Remove from heat.
• Lightly toast the bread and rub with the cut clove of garlic. Top with the cabbage, sprinkle with Parmesan and with dill if desired, and serve.
