- cabbage
- salt
- a small amount of coconut milk
Cut up the cabbage as you prefer. Apparently 1" lozenges are professionally frowned upon.
As you like.
Throw your appropriately chopped cabbage in a saucepan and dress with coconut milk.
Bring to a simmer and cook for only a few minutes until the cabbage is cooked through and the milk has mostly bubbled off.
Add more milk if the pan threatens to dry out.
Season and serve.

Aaron kindly responded to my email interrogations with this comment on making this cabbage:
Cabbage is very simple and does not require boiling if cut correctly. My cabbage was finely chiffonade this is a classic French cut used so you do not have to boil the product before using it, this can only work with certain vegetables and herbs this also allows you to add butter and seasoning for a more rich flavour.
Use a cabbage with a bit of character - savoy...
From Joyce Molyneux and Sophie Grigson at the Carved Angel
I like this served with hare, pigeon or roast pork. I will sometimes cook a whole hand of pork buried deep in the cabbage. The pork gives the juices a rich gelatinous quality.

- 2 onions, sliced
- 2 cooking apples, cored and sliced
- salt
- freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons caster sugar

Via Kurt's secret recipe book.
Dunno where she got this one - not from me!
- 1 small red cabbage

- dash vodka or brandy
- bouquet garni

Remove stalk and chop cabbage.
Chop onion & apple.
Put in lidded casserole with herbs & wine. Add salt & pepper to taste.
I usually add just a dash of vodka or brandy, or whatever I get hold of first.

I pictured arranging cabbage leaves in a way that imitated a seashell, like an oyster or scallop.
I thought savoy cabbage would look the best, but I think I was wrong about that - they just looked like round cuttings of cabbage leaf.
I tried cutting the raw cabbage leaves into shell-like pieces using a (plastic) cookie cutter, but they were too tough so I blanched them first to soften them up.
I'm not sure that would otherwise be necessary, say with a...

Suggested by Nigel Slater, adapted by Karl
I was inspired to try Nigel Slater's idea for Kale with Chorizo and Almonds using a (somewhat anaemic) savoy cabbage, but I'm sure you could try any brassica you fancied.
Mine definitely needed a good stewing up to get the flavours working together, but if you had a better cabbage you might get away with just frying the leaves without the braising.
It may not be a particularly great dish, but it does make for a...

Cabbage with a hint of bitter lemon pith is rather nice. As long as you don't overdo the pith.
The aniseed is random. Other seeds are also available.
Goes well with a tagine, or other vaguely Mediterranean dish.
Serves 4 - ½ Savoy cabbage, thinly sliced
- 2 tsps aniseed
- 2 lemons
- olive oil

Finely grate the zest from 1½ lemons, and juice them both. Take the un-grated lemon half and thinly slice the flesh - zest and...

Here's a good [stuffed cabbage] recipe to start. You can change it around a bit another time and use, say, bacon or minced liver, or rice. And instead of the Soured Cream Sauce, you could serve it with a Tomato Sauce.

- Mushroom and Soured Cream Sauce

A Karl special
Hollow out a cabbage, removing all the stems and stalks.
Stuff (e.g. with the Roux Bros. Stuffed Tomatoes And Butter Sauce filling, but using bacon and brie instead of goat's cheese) and bake in oven, gas 6 for 1½ hours surrounded with red wine and olive oil covered tightly with foil.
Ingredients:
- cabbage
- butter sauce
- bacon
- brie
- red wine
- olive oil
A Karl special
Blanch cabbage for 1 minute.
Cut out heart (may need to tie up with string or foil).
Mix double cream and brie to paste, add grated nutmeg, few whole green peppercorns.
Season cabbage, stuff with mixture.
Steam 15 mins. The sauce runs into the cabbage, so fill well.
Ingredients:
- cabbage

I have a distant memory of crispy cabbage or kale, but I can't quite remember how I made it, so I thought I'd try this out with some packet kale.
It does the job, but it can end up very greasy, so maybe make sure the cabbage is completely dry and cook in batches in more oil as for crispy seaweed, then try and pat it dry as much as possible. You'll also need to watch the cabbage like a hawk to make...

By Marc Matsumoto
This non-oriental No Recipe recipe by Marc Matsumoto involves a lot of chopping, especially if you're starting with chicken thighs on the bone which you will need to strip, but it's pretty easy, and you can work while the stages cook so you don't need to prepare everything ahead of time.
Serves 4 - 500g boneless skin-on chicken thighs
- ½ tsp salt
- ½ tsp ground black pepper
- 200g bacon, chopped
- 6 cloves garlic, sliced...
Inspired by Kevin Mangeolles and Molly Watson
Two simple ways of buttering up cabbage leaves:
- The first touted by Kevin Mangeolles as part of his recipe for beer braised hare, which I keep plundering, leaves the leaves (😂) quite pristine by blanching them first, if presentation is what you're going for.
- The second, promoted by Molly Watson wilts the leaves in foaming butter while they absorb additional flavours, if taste is more your bag.

By the Roux Brothers
Red cabbage is a very accommodating vegetable when braised in this manner. It isn't easy to overcook it, and it re-heats very successfully. It makes an ideal partner to autumn and winter dishes such as rich roasts of game, or stews, and to pork, spicy sausage, and smoked meats.
Serves 4 - 1 small red cabbage, about 2 to 2¼lb (1 kg)
- 4 oz (100g) clarified butter

Now pay-walled. So fuck them.
Although I'm quite sure I've braised a variety of red cabbages in the distant past, I couldn't find any of the recipes, so I resorted to the Interwebs for inspiration.

Any type of cabbage can be used in this recipe, but on the whole a cabbage of a firm, round, dark green variety is best.
Serves 4 - 1 green cabbage, about 1½lb (750g)
- 7 oz (200g) thick bacon slices, rind removed
- 4 oz (100g) clarified butter
- 7 oz (200g) button onions, peeled and left whole

Lee Allsup
Gastrique is a classic French technique for creating a sweet-and-sour base for sauces.
It is usually made by first caramelizing honey or sugar, and then deglazing this with a small amount of vinegar.
I think what Lee actually directed us make is the Italian version - agrodolce - which is a syrupy reduction of sugar and vinegar.
Much more vinegar is involved because here the sugars are not caramelized and so retain their inherent...

Savoy cabbage braised with butter, sage and juniper
I wanted to make a cabbage dish as rich and delicious as buttered leeks.

I was going for a soft, buttery, braised red cabbage along the lines of green cabbage versions, and indeed the dish was very succulent. It did, though, have that slightly grainy texture which seems to be something of a feature of red cabbage. I mostly just used things I had in stock. I wasn't entirely sure about the ginger.

So I've had this bottle of Gold Plum Premium Oyster Sauce in my boat locker since I set sail, and since it expired in 2014 I figured it was time to use it. I wonder if it always used to be this thick?

Inspired by the Hairy Bikers
I had a lot of stuff left over that I needed to use up. Mostly cabbage.
So I started with this largely inauthentic Hairy Bikers recipe for Caldo Verde (Portuguese green broth) and just started chucking things in.

I had recently bought 2 bunches of beetroots to make a purée with but they were so small that the...

A very nice version of braised cabbage. Its simplicity brings out the best in the flavour of the cabbage, and the lack of absolutely any liquid other than the vinegar gives a deeply rich result.

A terrific way to use up leftover red cabbage casserole, though you could also make it from raw cabbage if you like it enough - casserole the red cabbage with the onions and drink for half an hour or so first.
You could use whatever drink you fancy: beer, cider, wine or port (in my case).

When I made this I had some mustardy leeks in white sauce already made up, so I made the dish itself using just onion and added the creamy leeks too at the end. This is how I would have cooked it from scratch. Probably.
