Apple Cabbage Ravioli In A Savory Herb Bacon Broth Recipes

QUICK CABBAGE WITH BACON AND APPLES

Steps:

• Spread the bacon out in a large nonstick saute pan. Place over medium-high heat and cook until crispy, about 6 minutes per side. Remove the bacon and place on a paper towel-lined plate, leaving the fat in the pan. Once cool to the touch, crumble the bacon into bite-sized pieces.
• Reduce the heat to medium and add the cabbage to the pan. Cook, stirring frequently, until slightly wilted, about 4 minutes. Pour the apple juice, honey and vinegar around the sides of the pan. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the liquid has cooked off, 2 to 3 minutes more. Add the apples and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon salt and 3/4 teaspoon black pepper. Toss to combine. Turn off the heat and stir in the scallions and crumbled bacon.
• Transfer to a serving platter and serve warm.

CREAMY CABBAGE WITH APPLES AND BACON

Steps:

• Heat olive oil over medium heat in a large, heavy-bottomed pot or Dutch oven. Add the bacon and cook and stir until most of the fat is rendered, and the bacon is lightly browned but still slightly limp, about 5 minutes. Remove the bacon with a slotted spoon to a small bowl; do not drain. Pour off any excess bacon fat in the pan, according to your taste.
• Stir the onion into the pot, season with salt and pepper, and cook and stir over medium-high heat until onion is translucent. Sprinkle in the sugar, then stir in the vinegar-stand back or you'll get a nose full! Scrape up the delicious brown bits from the bottom of the pan. Add the cabbage, stirring well to combine.
• Cook, uncovered, until cabbage is reduced and starts to soften, 6 to 8 minutes. Stir in apples, stock, and coriander seeds. Cover, reduce heat to medium low, and cook for at least 30 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add more stock as needed, and continue cooking until the cabbage is soft, but not falling apart.
• Just before serving, remove the cover and stir in the bacon with its juices. Cook over medium-high heat until any remaining liquid is reduced to a syrup and the mixture is piping hot, about 5 minutes. Remove from heat, stir in nutmeg, and fold in the sour cream. Your digestive tract will thank you.
