MICROWAVE RED CABBAGE WITH BACON AND CARAWAY SEEDS



Microwave Red Cabbage with Bacon and Caraway Seeds image

Braised cabbage is a common German side dish, but can often be overly rich. This lightened-up version could not be simpler, since everything from the bacon to the cabbage is cooked in the microwave. Caraway seeds lend an earthy note to the dish while apple cider vinegar keeps it from becoming too heavy. Pair the cabbage with an oven-roasted pork tenderloin for a hint of Germany at your dinner table.

Time 40m

Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 7

4 slices bacon
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 large shallot, thinly sliced (about 1/3 cup)
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
2 pounds red cabbage, cored, quartered and thinly sliced
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Steps:

  • Line a large heatsafe plate with 4 sheets of paper towels. Lay the bacon slices side-by- side on top of the paper towels, then top with 2 additional sheets of paper towels. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Check the bacon to see if it is cooked through and crispy. If not, cook in 1-minute intervals until the bacon is crispy. Reserve.
  • Put the butter, shallot and caraway seeds into a large heatsafe glass bowl. Microwave on high for 1 minute to melt the butter. Add the cabbage, apple cider vinegar, 1 1/2 teaspoons salt and 1/4 teaspoon pepper to the melted butter and stir to combine. Cover with a vented lid or plastic wrap with 6 small holes poked in it. Microwave on high for 5 minutes. Carefully uncover and stir the cabbage. Cover again and cook, stirring every 5 minutes, until the largest parts of the cabbage are wilted and tender, 10 to 15 additional minutes.
  • Use a pair of tongs to transfer the cabbage to a serving platter; discard any extra liquid in the bowl. Roughly chop the bacon and sprinkle over the cabbage. Serve immediately.

Yield Serves 4

Number Of Ingredients 6

4 slices hickory-smoked bacon, cut into 1/2-inch pieces
1/2 head red cabbage, thinly sliced
3 tablespoons (or more) cider vinegar
1 tablespoon dark brown sugar
1/2 teaspoon caraway seeds
Chopped fresh parsley

Steps:

  • Cook bacon in heavy large skillet over medium-high heat until crisp, about 5 minutes. Transfer to paper towels using slotted spoon and drain. Pour off all but 2 tablespoons drippings from skillet. Add cabbage and sauté 3 minutes. Whisk 3 tablespoons vinegar, sugar and caraway in small bowl. Add to cabbage and sauté until cabbage is wilted but still crisp-tender, about 5 minutes more. Season generously with salt and pepper. Taste, adding more vinegar if desired. Mix bacon into cabbage. Transfer to bowl. Sprinkle with parsley and serve.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage. Look for a firm, heavy head of red cabbage with tightly packed leaves. Avoid heads that are bruised or have yellow or brown spots.
  • Slice the cabbage thinly. This will help it cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Use a large skillet. This will give the cabbage plenty of room to cook without overcrowding.
  • Cook the cabbage over medium heat. This will help it cook evenly without burning.
  • Stir the cabbage frequently. This will help prevent it from sticking to the skillet and burning.
  • Add the bacon and caraway seeds towards the end of cooking. This will help prevent the bacon from getting too crispy and the caraway seeds from burning.
  • Season the cabbage to taste. Add salt, pepper, and other spices as desired.
  • Serve the cabbage immediately. It is best enjoyed hot and fresh.

Conclusion:

Red cabbage with bacon and caraway seeds is a delicious and versatile side dish that can be enjoyed with a variety of main courses. It is also a great way to use up leftover cabbage.
