I was in need of a side dish and wasn’t sure what sounded good. Then I realized I had a cabbage that needed to be used. I decided to throw together a quick braised cabbage recipe with some onions, a carrot, butter, broth, balsamic vinegar, and blue cheese. It takes a couple hours to cook, but you’ll only be in the kitchen for about 10 minutes.

So let’s talk about braising cabbage.

Braising Cabbage

This was a spur-of-the-moment type of recipe where I look around and see what’s available, then come up with something real fast. That’s actually how I do most of my cooking and hopefully where you’ll end up, if you’re not already there. The PDF isn’t an exact recipe, but gives you an idea of approximately how much of each ingredient I used.

What else could you do with this that would be delicious? Here are a few ideas:

• Add diced apples or pears
• Use savory spices like cumin and turmeric
• Braise in red or white wine instead of broth

Here’s a short video demonstration…and here’s a downloadable PDF with an approximate recipe so you don’t need to worry about writing anything down.

Let me know what changes you make to this when you try it!
