Gemelli With Red Cabbage Beet And Prosciutto Food

GEMELLI WITH RED CABBAGE, BEET, AND PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Bring a large pot of water to a boil; add salt and beet. Cook pasta 2 minutes less than instructed on package (beet should be knife-tender). Drain; when beet is cool enough to handle, chop into small pieces.
• Place prosciutto in a large saute pan over medium-high; cook, stirring occasionally, until crisp, about 3 minutes. Transfer to a plate.
• Swirl oil into pan and add onion. Cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 3 to 4 minutes. Add cabbage and cook until slightly tender, about 2 minutes. Stir in beet. Increase heat to high, pour in wine, and cook, stirring frequently, until reduced by half, about 2 minutes.
• Add pasta and toss to combine. Add prosciutto and season with salt. Serve immediately, with cheese.

CABBAGE AND BEET SLAW

Steps:

• Toss 1/2 thinly sliced small red onion with 3 tablespoons red wine vinegar; set aside 10 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons olive oil and 1 teaspoon each grainy mustard and honey. Grate 2 carrots and 1 beet on the large holes of a box grater; add to the dressing along with 1/2 thinly sliced small red cabbage and 1/2 cup parsley; season with salt and pepper. Let stand 20 minutes.

BRAISED RED CABBAGE WITH BEET

Steps:

• Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the hard core and shred.
• Heat the oil in a large heavy saucepan, add the onion and fry over a low heat until it begins to soften; add the cabbage, beetroot and all remaining ingredients, seasoning to taste.
• Cover the pan tightly and keeping an eye on the liquid (there should be enough at all times to prevent sticking, but no excess at the end of cooking) cook, stirring occasionally, for 1 ½ - 2 hours, until soft and reduced in bulk; adjust seasoning if required.
• NOTE: This can also be made in advance and reheated; it can also be cooked in a casserole dish in a low oven.

BEET AND RED CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• Grate the beets and carrots in a food processor using a medium-coarse grating blade.
• Cut the cabbage into chunks small enough to fit through your processor's feed tube and grate with the same blade.
• Combine the grated beets and cabbage in a serving container and dress to taste with the lemon juice and syrup. Stir well, then add the dill and salt and stir again.
• Let the salad stand for at least 15 minutes or so before serving. Taste again and adjust the lemon and sweetener if needed, then serve.

CABBAGE WITH PROSCIUTTO

Steps:

• Cut away and discard tough core of cabbage. Open up leaves and remove any remaining tough core.
• Bring enough water to a boil to cover cabbage. Add salt to taste. Add cabbage and when the water returns to a boil let cook 5 minutes. Drain well.
• Cut or chop cabbage into 2-inch cubes.
• Heat 2 tablespoons butter in a skillet or casserole and add onion and prosciutto. Cook, stirring, until wilted and add cabbage and cloves. Add the broth and black pepper. Bring to a boil and cover closely. Cook over moderate heat about 10 minutes.
• Stir in remaining 2 tablespoons butter and remove from heat.

RED CABBAGE SLAW WITH BEETS

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees. Trim and scrub beets. Brush each beet with a drizzle of olive oil and wrap in aluminum foil. Roast beets on the center rack of the oven for 45 to 60 minutes, until tender. Remove from oven, open foil and let cool.
• While the beets are roasting, prepare the dressing and other ingredients. You can use pre-shredded cabbage (recommended) or use a mandoline or very sharp knife to slice a head of red cabbage. For the dressing, combine the shallot, mustard, and vinegar in a small bowl or dressing jar, and let this mixture sit for ~15 minutes. Then add the olive oil and whisk/shake until well combined.
• In a large bowl, combine the shredded cabbage and dried cranberries. Using a hand grater, shred the apple and cooked beets into the bowl. Add the vinaigrette and mix until combined.
• You can serve immediately, or put this in the fridge for 30 minutes to an hour, and serve cold. Just before serving, squeeze the lemon on top of the slaw and stir. Enjoy!

BEET, GINGER AND RED CABBAGE SOUP
