CREAMY SAVOY CABBAGE WITH CARROTS

Steps:

• Pull off any tough outer leaves from the cabbage and discard. Cut in half, then remove the hard inner core. Rinse the leaves, then shred as finely as you can. Cut the carrots into fine, thin strips or grate in the food processor.
• Bring a pan of water to the boil and add the cabbage and carrots. Boil for 6 mins until just tender, then drain. Return to the hot pan and add the butter and cream. Season with pepper, and salt if you like, add the nutmeg and stir well to coat. Pile into a serving dish and serve immediately.

Cook, stirring, until sauce is thick enough to coat the back of a wooden spoon, about 2 minutes. Remove from heat; add 1/4 cup cheese and the lemon zest. Immediately fold cabbage into sauce. Season with salt and pepper.

CREAMY POTATOES WITH CABBAGE

Steps:

• Heat a medium Dutch oven over medium heat. Add 1/4 cup of the oil to the pan along with the garlic and onions. Season with 1/2 teaspoon salt. Cook the onions slowly, stirring often with a wooden spoon, until they are soft and tender, about 8 minutes. Add the cabbage and an additional 1/2 teaspoon salt and stir to combine. Cook until the cabbage wilts, about 2 minutes. Stir in the potatoes and enough broth to cover the mixture. Season with 1 teaspoon salt. Bring the mixture to a simmer and cook, stirring often, until the liquid is reduced by half, the potatoes are tender and the cabbage is silky and soft, 30 to 35 minutes. Using a potato masher or a whisk, crush the mixture until it loosely resembles the consistency of mashed potatoes. Stir in the remaining 1/4 cup oil and serve sprinkled with chives.

CREAMED CABBAGE

Steps:

• As the size of a head of cabbage can vary, I've suggested some ingredients with ranges to accommodate different sized heads of cabbage. Adjust and use the ingredients according to size and taste. If you use a lot more bacon than what is called for, consider removing some of the extra bacon drippings so that the dish doesn't become greasy.
• Wash the cabbage head and remove the first layer or two of exterior leaves (discard) and the core. Thinly slice.
• Halve the onion and cut each half into 1/2" wide slices.
• Cut the bacon slices into 1/2"-1" pieces.
• Add the bacon to a cold, large/deep pot and brown over medium heat. Remove bacon from the pot and set aside. Retain melted bacon fat in the pot.
• Increase heat to medium-high and add onion. Brown quickly until golden on the edges, but not very soft, stirring frequently.
• Reduce heat to medium. Add the cabbage to the pot. Stir to mix. Pour 1/4 cup of water over cabbage and cover with a lid.
• Stir occasionally and check the bottom of the pan to make sure there is still water there. If not, add more water until the bottom of the pot is no longer dry. Cook until just tender-crisp (approx. 10 min).
• Remove the lid. Add the butter, half and half, and parmesan. Stir well. With the lid off, simmer on low until sauce thickens, stirring frequently.
• Once the sauce has reached your desired thickness, add the bacon back to the pot, and salt and (white) pepper to taste. Stir well. Remove from heat and serve.

• Meanwhile, place the remaining 1 tablespoon butter in a small microwaveable bowl; microwave on High until melted, about 20 seconds. Add crackers to the butter and toss together until combined.
• Sprinkle the cabbage mixture evenly with flour and stir to coat. Stir in milk and bring to a simmer over medium-high heat. Simmer, uncovered, stirring often, until the sauce is thickened and creamy and coats the cabbage mixture, 2 to 3 minutes.
