Provided by Bobby Flay

Categories     main-dish

Time 1h3m

Yield 8 servings

Number Of Ingredients 24

3 large onions, peeled and thinly sliced
2 cloves garlic, smashed
3 pounds precooked bratwurst, pricked with a fork
6 bottles dark beer
2 cups water
1 teaspoon coriander seeds
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 teaspoon mustard seeds
1 (1-inch) piece of fresh ginger, peeled and chopped
Hot dog buns, brown bread, or hoagie buns
Sweet and hot German mustard, optional, for garnish
Spicy brown mustard, optional, for garnish
Red Cabbage Sauerkraut, recipe follows
Pickles, optional, for garnish
Pickled beets, optional, for garnish
Pickled eggs, optional, for garnish
1/4 cup olive oil
2 cups red wine vinegar
1 cup water
1/4 cup granulated sugar
1 teaspoon whole mustard seeds
2 cloves garlic, peeled and thinly sliced
1 large head red cabbage, thinly shredded
Salt and freshly ground pepper

Steps:

  • Preheat the grill to high. Arrange the onion slices and garlic along the bottom of a medium stockpot. Place the bratwurst on top and then add the beer, water, coriander, caraway, mustard seeds, and ginger. Bring to a simmer over the grill grates or on a burner. Simmer the sausages in the mixture for about 10 minutes. Remove the pan from the heat and let the bratwurst sit in the liquid for 10 minutes.
  • Remove the sausages with a pair of tongs onto a platter. Remove the onions with a slotted spoon and place in a bowl. Grill the sausages until the casings are crisp and golden brown, about 3 to 4 minutes per side. Serve the bratwurst on the buns with the onions, mustard and sauerkraut, if desired. Garnish with pickles, pickled beets, and pickled eggs, if desired.
  • Preheat grill to high. In a medium saucepan, combine the oil, vinegar, water, and sugar over medium heat, and cook until the sugar has melted. Add the mustard seeds, garlic, and cabbage, and cook until the cabbage is soft, about 15 to 20 minutes. Season with salt and pepper, to taste.

SENSATIONAL SIMMERED LEEK CABBAGE MUSHROOM TRIO



Sensational Simmered Leek Cabbage Mushroom Trio image

I often make delicious recipe #31207 and recipe #100417 individually, but it just makes sense to combine it all together in one great side dish! Also good as a steak, poultry, or fish topper. I just love it when the leeks are in season here in the Pacific Northwest... :)

Time 25m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 1/2 lbs leeks
1/2 head cabbage, chopped into approx 1/2 inch squares
8 ounces sliced mushrooms (I like crimini)
2 tablespoons olive oil
2 tablespoons butter
1/2 teaspoon salt, to taste
1/4 teaspoon fresh ground pepper, to taste
1 1/2 cups low sodium chicken broth (I prefer it with the chicken) or 1 1/2 cups vegetable broth (I prefer it with the chicken)
4 tablespoons dry sherry (optional)

Steps:

  • Carefully clean leeks; cut off the stemmy bottoms and the dark green leaves, so you end up with with white and light green parts only (dirt can get in between the leaves, so wash them out well).
  • Cut leeks lengthwise in quarters, then into about 1/2-inch squares.
  • Heat oil and butter in *large* heavy and wide saucepan or saute pan; add cleaned/cut leeks, cut cabbage, sliced mushrooms, salt, pepper, and stir over low heat for 5 minutes.
  • Add broth (I usually add a bit of sherry, too) and bring to boil, cover and simmer over medium-low heat, stirring often, for about 15 minutes or until vegetables are tender.
  • Raise heat to medium, uncover and let juices reduce to about half (be careful not to let burn).
  • Taste and adjust seasoning, serve hot.
  • Makes about 4-6 servings, depending on what you're using them for.

SIMMERED CABBAGE



Simmered Cabbage image

Once upon a time, my husband told me that he didn't like cooked cabbage. "Ah ha," I thought, "a challenge!" So I made a dish based on my "Simmered Leeks" recipe that works so well, and -- let's just put it this way: he changed his mind. He loves it when I make simmered cabbage! A very simple and tasty way to use this much-maligned veggie.

SIMMERED CABBAGE WITH BEEF SHAN STYLE image

Categories     Beef

Yield 4

Number Of Ingredients 9

2 tablespoons peanut oil
1 cup thinly vertically sliced shallots
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon turmeric
1/2 teaspoon ground red pepper
1/2 pound ground sirloin
4 cups finely shredded cabbage (about 1 small head)
1 cup thin plum tomato wedges (about 2 medium)
1/3 cup coarsely chopped unsalted, dry-roasted peanuts

Steps:

  • Heat a wok or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add peanut oil to pan, and swirl to coat. Add shallots, salt, turmeric, and red pepper; cook for 3 minutes or until shallots are tender, stirring frequently. Add beef; cook for 2 minutes or until the beef begins to brown. Add cabbage and tomato; toss well to combine. Reduce heat to medium-low; cover and cook for 10 minutes or until cabbage wilts. Stir in peanuts; cover and cook 10 minutes or until cabbage is tender.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: Select a firm, dense head of green cabbage or red cabbage for the best flavor and texture.
  • Cut the cabbage thinly: Thinly slicing the cabbage will help it cook evenly and absorb the flavors of the other ingredients.
  • Use a large pot or Dutch oven: A large pot or Dutch oven is essential for simmering the cabbage, as it needs plenty of room to cook and absorb the liquid.
  • Add aromatics and spices: Enhance the flavor of the cabbage by adding aromatics such as onions, garlic, and celery, as well as spices like caraway seeds, juniper berries, and bay leaves.
  • Use a flavorful liquid: Simmer the cabbage in a flavorful liquid such as chicken broth, vegetable broth, or apple cider for added depth of flavor.
  • Cook the cabbage until tender: Simmer the cabbage for at least 30 minutes, or until it is tender and has absorbed the flavors of the liquid.
  • Serve hot or cold: Simmered cabbage can be served hot as a side dish or main course, or chilled and served as a cold salad.

Conclusion:

Simmered cabbage is a versatile and delicious dish that can be enjoyed in a variety of ways. Its simple preparation makes it a great choice for busy weeknight meals, while its rich flavor and versatility make it a welcome addition to any holiday table.
