Im-pear-ial Russian Cabbage - Sweet Cabbage With Pears And Walnuts
From alisdhair 15 years ago
- 75 minutes to make
- Serves 4
This is probably more of a peasant dish, but it needed a catchy name.
Ingredients
- 1 very large green cabbage shopping list
- 3-4 bosc pears shopping list
- 1 cup of dark walnuts shopping list
- ¼ lb. and then some of butter shopping list
- ¼ cup of honey shopping list
- 1 quart of stock* shopping list
- 2 cups of pear nectar shopping list
- 1 ½ oz. of fresh chives shopping list
- salt, white pepper shopping list
How to make it
- 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.
