Parsnip Pierogi With Pickled Red Cabbage And Sauteed Apples Food

PARSNIP PIEROGI WITH PICKLED RED CABBAGE AND SAUTEED APPLES

Steps:

• To make red-cabbage slaw, whisk together vinegar, sugar, and caraway seeds in a medium bowl. Toss in cabbage. Season with salt and pepper. Let marinate for at least 1 hour, or overnight.
• To make pierogi dough, whisk together egg, milk, sour cream, and 1/2 cup water. Stir in flour a little at a time until dough comes together. Turn out onto a lightly floured board, and knead until smooth and elastic, up to 10 minutes. Incorporate more flour if dough is too sticky. Cover dough with plastic wrap, and allow to rest for 1 hour.
• To make filling, place parsnips in a medium saucepan, and cover with cold, salted water. Bring to a boil, and simmer until tender, 20 to 25 minutes. Drain, and put through a food mill to puree.
• In a small saute pan, cook shallots in butter until soft, stirring occasionally, 1 to 2 minutes. Stir shallots into puree, and add nutmeg, salt, and pepper to taste. Remove from heat, and let cool slightly, then mix in horseradish and cheese.
• On a lightly floured board, roll out dough to 1/8 inch. Cut out circles using a 3 3/4-inch-round cutter. Set circles aside on a floured tray. Place a round tablespoon of filling on each circle. Lightly wet edges, fold over, and seal by pinching.
• To make sauteed apples, heat a medium sautee pan over medium-high heat. Melt butter, add apple slices, and toss to coat. Add sugar and toss again to coat evenly. Cook until brown, about 5 minutes.
• When ready to serve, bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Add pierogi, and cook for 5 minutes after they float to the surface; drain. Pierogi can be eaten right away or browned in a small amount of butter. Serve with red-cabbage slaw and sauteed apples.

BRUCE'S SPICY PEANUT SLAW

Steps:

• In a large bowl combine green and red cabbage, carrots, red bell pepper, scallions, red onion, apple, garlic, and red-pepper flakes. Toss to combine. In a second medium bowl, combine the mayonnaise, sour cream, beer, sugar, lemon juice, and vinegar. Mix well. Stir into the vegetable mixture along with peanuts. Season with salt and pepper. Add lemon juice and vinegar, to taste.

POTATO, PARSNIP, AND CABBAGE SOUP

Steps:

• Combine the potatoes, parsnips, and vegetable bouillon base in a large pot with enough water to just cover the vegetables; season with the sea salt and black pepper. Bring the water to a boil over medium-high heat, and cook until the potatoes and parsnips are tender, 15 to 20 minutes.
• Pour the mixture into a blender, filling the pitcher no more than halfway. Hold the lid of the blender closed with a folded towel and carefully start the blender, using a few quick pulses to get the mixture moving before leaving it on to puree. Process in batches until all vegetables are pureed.
• Return blended vegetables to the pot, and place over medium heat. Stir the applesauce, balsamic vinegar, garlic paste, and truffle oil into the soup; bring to a simmer, and reduce heat. Simmer until the flavors combine, about 50 minutes. Add the cabbage to the soup, and cook until the cabbage softens, about 10 minutes.
