MELTING CABBAGE



Melting Cabbage image

Raw cabbage is often the star of coleslaw, but when slow-cooked in a tomato-y white wine sauce, this vegetable is transformed into something else entirely-it's melt-in-your-mouth delicious! A bit of Parmesan rind adds umami to the sauce (it's a classic Italian trick). Serve this quick one-skillet recipe as a side dish or the main event.

Provided by Food Network Kitchen

Time 1h5m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 10

1 stick (8 tablespoons) unsalted butter, cut into small pieces
1 small head fennel (about 8 ounces), thinly sliced, fronds reserved for serving
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
2 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon fresh thyme leaves
1 small head green cabbage (about 2 pounds), quartered
1 1/4 cups dry white wine
2 tablespoons tomato paste
1/2 cup finely grated Parmesan, plus a 1-ounce piece of rind
Pinch crushed red pepper flakes

Steps:

  • Preheat the oven to 350 degrees F.
  • Melt the butter in a large cast-iron skillet over medium-high heat. Add the fennel, 1/2 teaspoon salt and a few grinds of black pepper and cook, stirring occasionally, until the fennels is softened and just starting to turn golden brown, about 5 minutes. Add the garlic and thyme and cook, stirring, until just fragrant, about 1 minute.
  • Nestle the cabbage quarters, cut-sides down, in the pan and cook without disturbing until just softened and starting to caramelize, about 4 minutes. Flip with tongs and repeat on the other cut sides.
  • Meanwhile, whisk together the wine and tomato paste in a small bowl until combined. Add it to the skillet along with the Parmesan rind and red pepper flakes. Bring the sauce to a boil, then transfer the skillet to the oven.
  • Roast until the sauce is thickened and reduced by half, and the cabbage is caramelized and tender, about 40 minutes. Sprinkle with the grated Parmesan and return to the oven. Cook just until the cheese has melted, about 3 minutes. Top with the reserved fennel fronds and serve immediately, spooning the sauce over the cabbage.

MELT IN YOUR MOUTH MARINADE



Melt in Your Mouth Marinade image

A wonderful marinade that makes even the toughest cuts of beef so tender you could cut them with a butter knife. Tastes great on pork chops and chicken, too. Play with the amounts of garlic and ginger to suit your taste. I tend to use more rather than less. Makes enough for four servings.

Smashed Root Vegetables and Caramelized Leeks image

Three root cellar staples -- potatoes, turnips, and parsnips -- are mixed with leeks to make the mash.

Provided by Martha Stewart

Categories     Food & Cooking     Healthy Recipes     Gluten-Free Recipes

Time 45m

Number Of Ingredients 8

2 pounds Yukon Gold potatoes (about 4), peeled and cut into chunks
3/4 pound turnips (2 small), peeled and cut into chunks
1/2 pound parsnips (about 4), peeled and cut into chunks
Coarse salt and freshly ground pepper
1/2 stick unsalted butter
1 pound leeks, trimmed, sliced 1/4 inch thick, and rinsed well (2 cups)
3/4 cup whole milk
1/4 cup heavy cream

Steps:

  • Place potatoes, turnips, and parsnips in a large pot; cover with 2 inches cold water. Season water generously with salt. Bring to a boil, then reduce heat, and vigorously simmer until root vegetables are very tender and breaking apart, about 30 minutes. Drain.
  • Meanwhile, melt butter in a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add leeks, and cook until golden, about 15 minutes. Add root vegetables, and stir to dry out, about 2 minutes. Add milk and cream, and stir to break up vegetables. Heat until hot; season with salt and pepper.

Tips:

  • Choose the right vegetables: Use root vegetables that caramelize well, such as carrots, parsnips, turnips, and beets. Avoid vegetables that are too watery, such as cucumbers and zucchini.
  • Cut the vegetables evenly: This will help them cook evenly. If the vegetables are different sizes, the smaller ones will overcook before the larger ones are done.
  • Use a heavy-bottomed pot or skillet: This will help distribute the heat evenly and prevent the vegetables from burning.
  • Don't overcrowd the pot or skillet: If the vegetables are too crowded, they will steam instead of caramelize.
  • Be patient: Caramelizing vegetables takes time. Don't rush the process or the vegetables will not develop their full flavor.

Conclusion:

Caramelized root vegetables are a delicious and versatile side dish. They can be served with roasted meats, poultry, or fish. They can also be used in salads, soups, and stews. Caramelizing vegetables is a simple process, but it does take some time. So next time you have some extra time, try making a batch of caramelized root vegetables. You won't be disappointed.
