Savoy Cabbage With Bacon Apple Cider Food

SAVOY CABBAGE WITH BACON, APPLE & CIDER

Steps:

• Place the butter in a large non-stick frying pan over a medium heat. Add the strips of streaky bacon and saute until crispy. Remove the bacon from the pan.
• Add the onion to the frying pan and saute gently over a medium heat for 5 minutes. Next add the crushed garlic, savoy cabbage and apple to the pan and saute for a further 3 minutes.
• Pour the cider into the mixture, turn up the heat to medium high and reduce the cider by half.
• Add the bacon back into the pan, along with the wholegrain mustard and give it a good stir through to combine. Finally add the cream, mix well and season with salt and pepper to taste. Serve immediately.

SAVOY CABBAGE WITH CIDER, BACON AND CARROTS

Steps:

• In a large, wide pot (8 quarts or larger), saute bacon over medium heat until fat is rendered and the bacon begins to crisp. Add onions and carrots; saute for about 3 minutes. Add garlic; saute for 2 minutes.
• Add cabbage, caraway seeds, apple cider, vinegar, apples, bay leaf, and salt and pepper to taste. Saute, stirring, until the cabbage is tender, 10 to 15 minutes. Add butter, and stir well. Serve hot.

WARM SAVOY CABBAGE SLAW

Steps:

• Coat a large, wide pot with olive oil and add the bacon. Render the bacon over medium heat. Add the red onions, season with salt, and sweat for 4 to 5 minutes. Add the carrots and stir to combine. Add the cabbage, cider vinegar, mustard seeds, thyme, and bay leaves. Season with salt and taste. This will taste very vinegary but the salt will help offset the sharpness of the vinegar.
• Reduce to a simmer, cover, and cook until the cabbage is very soft, 15 to 20 minutes. Remove the lid, add the apple cider, and simmer until most of the vinegar has absorbed but the cabbage is still moist but not soupy, an additional 10 minutes. Serve right away or let it hang out in the refrigerator. It will probably be better in a couple of days. Garnish with chives.

POTATO & SAVOY CABBAGE SOUP WITH BACON

Steps:

• Chop the onion, carrot, celery and garlic in a food processor. Heat the oil over a medium heat in a large saucepan. Add the vegetables and potatoes, season well, then reduce the heat and cover the pan. Gently cook for about 5 mins until starting to soften, then add the stock, turn up the heat and bring to the boil. Simmer for 5 mins more, or until all the vegetables are tender.
• While the soup is cooking, grill or fry the bacon until crisp, then cut into strips. Shred the cabbage, discarding the core.
• Whizz the soup in the food processor until smooth, then return to the pan and add the cabbage. Simmer for a few mins until the cabbage is just tender, then season to taste and serve scattered with the bacon.
