Ideas for Red Cabbage

  • Sauté or braise thinly sliced red cabbage with sliced leek. Embed about a dozen whole cloves in a small orange or Clementine and place it in the pan with the cabbage as it cooks for an even richer flavor.
  • Braise with onions or leeks, fresh rosemary, and chicken or veggie broth. Add some chopped apple towards the end.
  • Thinly slice and add raw to salads.
  • Cook red cabbage in red wine vinegar and a little brown sugar. Toss with some blue cheese, crumbled crispy bacon and sultana raisins.
  • When roasting pork, add wedges of red cabbage to the roasting pan for the final 20-30 minutes.
  • Keep the beautiful red color by adding a touch of vinegar to the cooking water.

Red Cabbage & Kielbasa Soup

1 head red cabbage, chopped into chunks
1 lb Kielbasa sausage*
1 lb. diced tomatoes
2 cups chicken broth
1 lb. cooked cannellini beans
1/2 cup chopped green pepper
1 chopped onion
1 Tbsp. minced garlic
1 tsp. paprika
Pinch cayenne
1/2 tsp dried oregano
1 tsp. dried thyme
Salt and pepper to taste

Chop the Kielbasa into 1/4-inch coin-sized pieces. Chop the veggies. If you’re using beans from a can, drain and rinse. Brown the sausage, peppers, onions and garlic in a large pot. Add tomatoes, beans, seasonings and broth and mix well. Add cabbage and cover. Cook on medium heat until cabbage is wilted. Turn heat to low and simmer, covered, until cabbage is tender.

*If you’re in the Sequim area, we recommend the delicious Kielbasa sausage from Pacific Pantry on South Sequim Ave. Proprietor John Pabst uses meats from local farms, including Nash’s, Clark’s, and Spring Rain, to make his cured meats.

Break the broccoli florets into bite-sized pieces. Mix the salad ingredients together in a bowl. Then mix the dressing ingredients together very well in a separate bowl.

1 cup Nash’s field peas
