Ingredients

1 very large green cabbage

3-4 Bosc pears

1 cup of dark walnuts

¼ lb. and then some of butter

¼ cup of honey

1 quart of stock*

2 cups of pear nectar

1 ½ oz. of fresh chives

Salt, white pepper

Directions

Cut and de-core the cabbage. Cut it to the size as you would cut lettuce for any common salad. The pears may peeled or not. Leaving the peels on will add a little snap of tartness, be aware of that. Either way, cut the fruit into a large dice and then put it at once into some cold water to which should have been added the juice of half a lemon.

Heat ¼ a lb. of butter in a roundel pan add the cabbage and cook it, stirring all the while, for about ten minutes.

Add the stock and pear nectar. Lower the heat to a slow simmer, cover the pan and cook until the cabbage is tender and most of the liquid has been absorbed.

WHILE THIS IS GOING ON drain the pears. Heat 3-4 tbls. of more butter in a thick sauté pan and gently cook the pears for a 2-3 minutes before adding in the honey. Make it so that the honey gets evenly coated over the pears and then set it in a fierce oven or beneath a salamander to deeply caramelize them. Roughly crush and toast the walnuts.

When the cabbage is ready, fold in the pears and the walnuts. Season with salt and white pepper and sprinkle in the chives which should be roughly chopped.

* I usually use the same type of stock as the main ingredient of the dish which this is to accompany.

This sounds delicious. What's not to like about cabbage, pears and nuts? Thanks!

Question: what do you usually serve with this dish? Reading the recipe, I'm thinking either a sturdy pork roast with some kind of sour/savory sauce (if you're an omnivore), or maybe a plump fillet of grilled bluefish with lemon grass & citrus (if you eat fish). Bonus points for a vegetarian suggestion!
