A simple reduction of the cider concentrates the apple essence in the dressing. It's a technique you can use to intensify the flavor of all manner of sauces and dressings."

Categories     Salad     Side     Bake     Blue Cheese     Bacon     Winter     Cabbage     Simmer     Boil     Gourmet     Wheat/Gluten-Free     Peanut Free     Tree Nut Free     Soy Free

Yield Serves 6

Number Of Ingredients 9

6 ounces thick-sliced bacon, cut crosswise into 3/4-inch pieces
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper plus additional for sprinkling on bacon
1/2 cup dry white wine
2 tablespoons minced shallot
3/4 cup heavy cream
1 1/2 teaspoons Dijon mustard
1 medium head red or green cabbage, sliced 1/4-inch thick (about 12 cups)
1 tablespoon white wine vinegar
3 ounces Roquefort, crumbled (about 3/4 cup)

Steps:

  • Preheat oven to 350°F..
  • In a shallow baking pan spread bacon in one layer and sprinkle generously with additional pepper. Bake bacon in oven, stirring occasionally, 15 to 20 minutes, or until crisp, and transfer with a slotted spoon to paper towels to drain, reserving drippings.
  • In a small heavy saucepan boil wine with shallot until most wine is evaporated and add cream, mustard, 1/2 teaspoon pepper, and salt to taste. Simmer mixture until thickened slightly and keep warm.
  • In a very large skillet heat half of reserved drippings over moderately high heat until hot but not smoking and cook half of cabbage, stirring, until it begins to wilt, about 2 minutes. Transfer wilted cabbage to a bowl and cook remaining cabbage in remaining reserved drippings in same manner. Return wilted cabbage in bowl to skillet. Add vinegar and cook, stirring, 1 minute. Stir in cream mixture and cook stirring until cabbage is crisp-tender. Add Roquefort, stirring until melted.
  • Divide salad among 6 plates and sprinkle with bacon.

Tips:

  • Choose the right cabbage: For this salad, green cabbage or red cabbage works well. If using red cabbage, you may want to add a bit more sugar to balance out the bitterness.
  • Slice the cabbage thinly: This will help it cook evenly and absorb the dressing better.
  • Don't overcrowd the pan: When cooking the cabbage, make sure to spread it out in a single layer in the pan. This will help it cook evenly and prevent it from steaming.
  • Cook the cabbage until it's tender-crisp: You don't want the cabbage to be too soft, or it will lose its texture. Cook it just until it's tender-crisp, about 5 minutes.
  • Use high-quality bacon: The bacon is a key ingredient in this salad, so make sure to use good-quality bacon that you enjoy the taste of.
  • Crumble the blue cheese: This will help it distribute evenly throughout the salad.
  • Make the dressing ahead of time: The dressing can be made up to 24 hours in advance. This will give the flavors time to meld.
  • Serve the salad warm: This salad is best served warm, but it can also be served at room temperature.

Conclusion:

This warm cabbage salad with bacon and blue cheese is a delicious and easy-to-make side dish that's perfect for any occasion. The cabbage is tender-crisp and flavorful, the bacon is crispy and smoky, and the blue cheese adds a creamy and tangy touch. The dressing is simple but flavorful, and it ties all the ingredients together perfectly. This salad is sure to be a hit with your family and friends.
