I'll try and remember - the smell of the cabbage cooking drove me out of
the kitchen

He cooked the chopped up cabbage and some sliced carrots in his pressure
cooker (not at the same time); he says the cabbage only needs a
minute.... Dunno how long the carrots took.
He skinned some tomatoes and chopped them up too.
Then he chopped up some onions and sauteed them till golden brown.
Then he added the cabbage, carrots and tomatoes to the onions in the pan
and then stirred it all up on low heat. (I think).
He threw some bay leaves in there somewhere, but not sure exactly when.

I actually took two bites - bleeeeech.

I can still think of better ways to get gas (as I think sf pointed out)


Anyway, I tried...

Should I post one of my favorite dishes with cabbage? I got this one
from Molly Stevens..from her book All About Braising.
You might hate it anyway, but I think it is damned good. One of the
best cabbage dishes I have ever had....

I is just I wanted to see you actually post a recipe...You always seem to
avoid posting recipes. And I'd have all that bother of finding the
cooknook and then reading it. At least give us a page number.

I do that for you...I might give you the wrong cookbook name but I do
give the right page number.

I thought of one with cabbage-- pizzoccheri, a mountain dish made with
buckwheat noodles and pounds of butter. It makes me shudder to recall it.
http://tangoitalia.com/cucina/ricette_valtellina.htm
which actually contains 1/3 of the butter in the version I had.

Christine, the title of the above referenced book is an oxymoron.
Cooked cabbage, in any form, with any seasonings, prepared in any
manner, is ipso facto disgusting. The fact that, during and after
cooking, the stench alone is enough to warn one that this is not fit
to eat. In fact, other than raw cabbage in the form of sauerkraut and
coleslaw (and only the *proper* coleslaw with mayonnaise -
Best/Hellman's, not that Miracle Whip crap - white vinegar, sugar,
salt and celery seed), cabbage is best left entirely alone, a myth
with which to frighten small children, along with the Dreaded Beet

Oh Yea of little faith...that too was my thoughts...one taste changed my

not enough recipes hence my kibitizing at Chrissy.

Slice and steam the cabbage till only *just* done, put in a bowl with
lots of fresh butter and as much curry powder as you can stand.

Taught to me back in '72 by my Dutch g/f's mum :-)

Ahhhhhhhhhhh, Girda.... of the long blonde hair, great ass, and the

Please do post it, Chris. Even if I won't eat it Dad will be sure to
enjoy it - and we have plenty of cabbage in the garden at the moment.

Okay, you're on.

I won't be able to do it tonight, as I have to do a CEU course for
getting my WA state license...

I take chopped cabbage, sliced onion, grated carrot, garlic and some taco
seasoning... Oh and some cubed pork steak mix/melt in some cubed cream
cheese and make a nice casserole.

I had an adversion to cabbage as a kid. I think it was a hang on of the
smell of over-cooked cabbage in a unliked creepy Aunt's apartment
building hallway. I really hated visiting her, my mom always dragged me
along with her and remember the smell of over-cooked cabbage in the
hallways. Give me a break I was around 5 and she wasn't really an Aunt
just a friend of my mom.

That stopped me for many years (think 25 years) from many good foods,
such as cabbage rolls, kimchi and sourkraut. I almost stopped eating
coleslaw when I became aware it involed cabbage.

Now I eat it with delight... well at least once a month. I cook up a mess
of soups using cabbage mostly because living alone prevents cooking up a
whole head and stored fresh veggies don't do well in my fridge as I
forget to use them and have to throw them out after I find their remains
a week later.

Cooked right there is nothing as tasty as cooked cabbage...the
tenderness, the flavour is great. Over-cooked I still find it nasty
though.

If heat has been introduced to cabbage, it's over cooked.

Quite frankly, that doesn't sound very good to me, and I love cabbage. I
can think of many better ways to prepare it.

Why pressure cook cabbage and carrots? Sounds like instant mush to
me.

My son and I stopped off at White Castle on the way home from flyball
practice. We went in to eat and made sure to order a few extra sliders
to share with the dogs. I meant to make them wait until we got home but
the minute they smelled the burgers they started drooling so profusely
that I took pity on them and let them eat in the van.
