Provided by Giada De Laurentiis

Categories     side-dish

Time 45m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 8

1/2 cup olive oil
1 clove garlic, smashed and peeled
1 medium onion, chopped
Kosher salt
1 small head savoy cabbage, cut into 1-inch pieces
1 pound Yukon gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
3 1/2 to 4 cups chicken broth, homemade preferred
2 tablespoons chopped chives

Steps:

  • Heat a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of the oil to the pan along with the garlic and onions. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook the onions slowly, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until they are soft and tender, about 8 minutes. Add the cabbage and an additional 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Cook until the cabbage wilts, about 2 minutes. Stir in the potatoes and enough broth to cover the mixture. Season with 1 teaspoon salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until the liquid is reduced by half, the potatoes are tender and the cabbage is silky and soft, 30 to 35 minutes. Using a potato masher or a whisk, crush the mixture until it loosely resembles the consistency of mashed potatoes. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup oil and serve sprinkled with chives.

FRIED CABBAGE AND POTATOES



Fried Cabbage and Potatoes image

This simple vegetarian recipe features sautéed cabbage with potatoes, onions, and seasonings. Serve it as a side dish or add a protein to make it a complete meal.

Provided by Lizzie Streit, MS, RDN

Categories     Side Dish

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil (plus more as needed)
1 small yellow onion (diced)
2 Yukon gold potatoes (diced into small cubes)
½ teaspoon garlic powder
½ teaspoon dried thyme
½ teaspoon salt
½ teaspoon black pepper
6 cups diced cabbage

Steps:

  • Prep the veggies and gather the ingredients. I like to dice the potatoes into small ¼-inch cubes. I slice the cabbage into square pieces, but you can use shredded cabbage if desired.
  • Warm the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and potatoes. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 15 to 20 minutes until the potatoes can be easily pierced with a fork. If needed throughout the cooking process to prevent sticking, add more oil. Keep an eye on the heat and reduce it if needed to prevent burning.
  • Stir in the garlic powder, thyme, salt, and pepper. Then add the sliced cabbage and stir well. The skillet will be exceptionally full at first but the cabbage will cook down. Cook for another 7 to 10 minutes until the cabbage is tender. Taste and adjust seasonings as desired.
  • Serve and enjoy! For some additional flavor, I sometimes add a squeeze of lemon juice and a sprinkle of parmesan cheese.

SMASHED RED POTATOES WITH CABBAGE



Smashed Red Potatoes With Cabbage image

I set out to make a traditional Irish colcannon here, a mixture of mashed potatoes with cabbage and scallions. But I decided to go with a lighter carbohydrate load, using red boiling potatoes rather than starchier Idaho potatoes. Instead of making a purée of them, after cooking the potatoes in their skins I quarter them and, skin and all, smash them in a hot pan with a potato masher or the back of a spoon.

Provided by Martha Rose Shulman

Categories     easy, side dish

Time 1h10m

Yield Serves six

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds red potatoes, scrubbed
Salt
1 pound cabbage (1/2 medium cabbage), quartered, cored and cut in thin shreds across the grain
2 tablespoons unsalted butter or extra virgin olive oil
2 heaped tablespoons chopped scallions (about 3 scallions)
2/3 cup low-fat milk (more as needed)
Freshly ground pepper
2 tablespoons minced chives (optional)

Steps:

  • Cover the potatoes with water in a saucepan, add about 1/2 teaspoon of salt and bring to a boil. Reduce the heat to medium, cover partially and cook until tender all the way through when pierced with a knife, about 30 minutes. Do not drain the water, but using a skimmer or a slotted spoon, transfer the potatoes from the pot to a bowl. Cover tightly and allow to sit for five to 10 minutes. Then, using a towel to hold the potatoes steady (because they're still hot), cut them into quarters.
  • Meanwhile, bring the water back to a boil, add more salt if desired and add the cabbage. Cook uncovered until tender, five to six minutes. Drain.
  • Heat the butter or oil over medium heat in a large, heavy nonstick skillet, and add the scallions. Cook, stirring, until they soften, about three minutes. Add the potatoes. Smash the potatoes to a coarse mash in the pan with a potato masher or the back of your spoon. Stir in the hot milk, and mix together well until the potatoes have absorbed all the milk. Stir in the cabbage, and season generously with salt and pepper. Add the chives, stir together until heated through and serve.

  • Slice the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and quickly. You can use a sharp knife or a mandoline to slice the cabbage.
  • Use a large skillet or Dutch oven: This will give the cabbage and potatoes plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Don't overcrowd the skillet: If you overcrowd the skillet, the cabbage and potatoes will not cook evenly. Cook the cabbage and potatoes in batches if necessary.
  • Season the cabbage and potatoes well: Use a generous amount of salt and pepper to season the cabbage and potatoes. You can also add other seasonings, such as garlic powder, onion powder, or paprika.
  • Cook the cabbage and potatoes until tender: The cabbage and potatoes should be tender when they are done. This will take about 15-20 minutes.
  • Serve the cabbage and potatoes immediately: The cabbage and potatoes are best served immediately after they are cooked. You can garnish them with fresh parsley or chives.
