Best 9 Worlds Best Braised Cabbage Recipes

WORLD'S BEST BRAISED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Heat oven to 325°F / 163°C with the rack in the middle. Coat a 13-by-9-inch baking dish with the olive oil or melted fat.
• Lop off the tough stem end of the cabbage and divide it into 6-8 wedges. Keep the core attached so the wedges stay intact after the long cooking time. Don't worry: The tough core will get super tender, too.
• Place the cabbage pieces in a single layer in the greased dish - a little overlap is okay. Toss on the onion and carrots and drizzle with broth and the olive oil. Season well with salt, pepper and crushed red pepper (if using).
• Cover tightly with foil and place in the oven.
• Cook the cabbage undisturbed for 1 hour. Crack open the foil cover and carefully flip the wedges over. Reseal the dish tightly and braise for another hour or until fork-tender.
• At this point, you can remove the cabbage to cool and store in the fridge until you're ready to eat it (up to 4 days). When you're ready to serve, crank the oven up to 425°F / 218°C and bake until browned (about 15 minutes).
• Drizzle with aged balsamic vinegar and serve.

BRAISED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Cut cabbage into 6 to 8 wedges, with the widest part no more than 2 inches, leaving the core intact so the wedges stay together while cooking. Place a heavy skillet, large enough to hold wedges fairly snugly, over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup oil and heat until it shimmers. Add the cabbage, and cook, turning once, until browned on both sides, 2 to 3 minutes a side. Transfer to a plate, and set aside.
• Reduce heat to medium-low, add remaining 1 tablespoon oil, and heat until it shimmers. Add cloves, mustard seeds, curry leaves, bay leaf, shallot and garlic, and cook, stirring, for 1 minute. Add ginger, turmeric, 1 tablespoon jalapeño, tomato and broth. Season with salt to taste. If desired, add more jalapeño to taste.
• Increase heat to medium-high, and bring to a boil. Add cabbage, fitting it tightly together in the bottom of the pot. Cover, reduce heat to medium, and braise cabbage until tender, about 10 minutes, turning it once halfway through cooking. Remove and discard cloves, curry leaves and bay leaf. If desired, serve with rice.
