Drunken Cabbage image

I started making this when I worked at a fine dining restaurant in Pittsburgh. This would be great with some peppercorn crusted pork or even salmon.

Time 35m

Number Of Ingredients 9

1 cabbage huge head (red or green, depending on what you like)
1/2 c red wine (please use what you would drink with!)
1/4 c stock (any kind you normally use)
1/2 c dried currants or raisins
1/4 c orange juice, fresh (about the juice of an orange)
1 Tbsp orange zest (zest before you juice so you only use one orange)
1/4 c butter
salt to taste
pepper to taste

Steps:

  • 1. Peel outer leaves from cabbage (save for cabbage rolls) and wash cabbage. Cut in quarters and shred. Prep the orange as well.
  • 2. Put currants (or raisins) in a bowl and pour the red wine over the top. Let set for about 2-3 minutes.
  • 3. Add stock and orange juice to large pot (you'll need it when you start anyway) and bring to a simmer.
  • 4. Add the cabbage, raisins (and remaining wine they were soaked in) and the orange zest. Stir often with tongs (to make sure you turn the cabbage at the bottom)
  • 5. Cook until the cabbage is almost done (to your liking) then add the salt, pepper, and finish (toss in and coat the cabbage) with butter.
