Cabbage and Noodles
Get a head of green cabbage - I generally chop up an onion and throw that in with the cabbage and sweat it too (I almost forgot to add that part). Core it (take the cabbage, and bang it on the counter stem down, then remove the core, it just pops right out that way). Wash it then chop it up into strips. Now get a big pot with a lid, put the cabbage in the pot and "sweat it down" you do this by putting it on medium-low heat, with a little salt and a little water in the bottom of the pan - you want it to steam so don't go overboard with the water because the cabbage releases its own juices. Just use your judgment, say 1/4 to 1/2 cup of water. Cover and cook til just tender (not slimy) and cooked down. While this is cooking make a package of egg noodles. Drain completely when done. Now when everything is done cooking, there should be very little liquid left in the cabbage, so just add the pasta to the pot (if there is too much liquid, drain some out). Season to taste with salt and pepper, I like it with caraway seeds, my husband does not, so I generally leave it out. Add butter and allow it to melt as you stir it around in the combo, you want it to coat it all nicely, don't make the combo swim in it. This can be a main dish, or as a side, served with baked fish or or chicken or you can just add tuna fish from the can (in water, drained) to it, you can also add dillweed or pickle juice, and mayo or Miracle whip and sweet peas, for a more casserole type dish.

I am a former chef and now a vegetarian and I like to make a braise with it, it has onions, apples, caraway seeds, red wine vinegar, salt and pepper, a natural cane extact for sweetness and a bit of apple juice for a stock componant. I cook the onion in veg oil, then add the grated green apple seasonings and caraway seed, then the whole head of cabbage shredded or fine chopped, the apple juice and then let i braise for 1 1/2 hours, I then taste it add the cane extract and serve it as a side with a tofu cutlet and veggie german potato salad (not bacon, TVP). I also would not recommend it in a soup, it turn blue,and not alot of people will eat blue soup, in a beet brosht it is fine. And the first recipe gets better everytime you reheat it, even good cold or room temp.

This is an extremely simple dish which can be served alone for lunch or in smaller quantities as a main meal accompaniment. It is comprised of only the most natural, freshest produce, is quick to prepare and cook, and crucially for me, like all top quality recipes, does not have a list of ingredients half the length of your arm!
The concept of marrying cabbage with bacon is hardly a new one, but the precise recipe I have devised gives, I believe, a truly unique, extra special flavour. The quantity described below will provide a satisfying lunch for two people.
You will need:
1/2 a small, white cabbage (chopped)
4 lean rashers of unsmoked bacon
1 large onion (sliced)
4 cloves of garlic (finely chopped)
Handful of fresh coriander, or cilantro in US (roughly chopped)
Freshly grated nutmeg
Olive oil
Grill your bacon until it is cooked but not crisped. Put it on a plate and set it aside for now. Cut the remaining core out of your half cabbage by making a v-shaped insertion with a sharp chopping knife. Chop the cabbage across ways to leave you with long, thin slices. Cut the onion in half, downwards through the central core, then lay each half flat and slice finely. Take a large pan and put in about a tablespoonful of olive oil. Heat it up then add first the garlic to sweat off for a minute, though not colour. Add the cabbage and the onion and keep on a medium heat, stirring frequently and thoroughly with a wooden spoon. Using a small hand-grater, you should go back and forward eight to ten times with your nutmeg kernel to give just the right hint of flavour, though this can be varied as desired. After about ten minutes, the cabbage and the onion should be starting to soften through. Roughly chop your bacon rashers and add to the pan along with your coriander (cilantro) to heat through for a few minutes. Plate up and serve.
Note the absence of salt/pepper in this recipe. It is my belief that enough salt comes from the bacon to sufficiently season the dish along with the nutmeg. That, naturally, is also something that can be varied according to taste.
