How to make it
- first, cook the beef. - in case you do not know how to, her's how you do it:
- clean and wash soup green, coarsely chop them.
- rinse and pat dry beef
- put greens, water and some bay leaves and peppercorns into pot
- bring to boil, add beef
- (some people put it all into cold water - you can do that as you may)
- water should just about cover beef.
- bring to boil again, remove foam from surface so stock does not turn cloudy
- reduce heat to soft boil, do not cover completely with lid
- now add salt and simmer for about two hours
- cabbage
- boil water with salt and baking soda, cook cabbage until
- leaves are soft
- drain
- some people just chop the cabbage coarsely, add some butter and nutweg..and leave it at that
- some peel and chop onion,
- fry bacon and onion
- sprinkle with some flour,
- sweat flour and add some of the beef water or cabbage water (I add a bit of cream, too)
- keep stirring to make smooth sauce
- Horsereadish sauce
- Get a fresh, crisp root
- cut off ends, peel and grate horseradish
- now, there are two ways you can do it:
- when radish has been grated, use chopping knife to really get radsih fine
- put into bowl,
- add sour cream (rich!)
- some dijonb mustard, salt, pepper, stir...
- thats it
- now for the other sauce:
- put butter into pan, add horseradish,
- sprinkle with flour, sweat lightly
- add meat stock, some cream, cook until thickended
- season with salt, white pepper, to taste
- now comes the nice part
- prepared serving dish(es)
- place cabbe on serving dish, ladle sauce (made with onion and pork belley) over cabbage, slice beef, place on platter with cabbage
- serve the sauces separately.
- Yes, I know - a lot of work - and I only do this once or twice during the winter - but it is worth it!
