A fitting complement to meats, and fish, this is an earthy side dish containing cabbage, apples and grainy mustard. For best results, use Northern Spy, MacIntosh or Cortland apples (about 5). Ingredients:
2 tablespoons unsalted butter |
2 cups onions, peeled and finely sliced |
4 fresh thyme sprigs |
2 1/2 teaspoons salt |
1 1/2 teaspoons fresh ground pepper |
2 tablespoons pommery grainy mustard |
3 cups apples, peeled and julienned |
10 cups savoy cabbage, quartered, and finely sliced (approximately 1 small head) |
1 cup buttermilk |
1 cup whipping cream |
Directions:
1. In a large pot over medium-high heat, melt butter. Add onions, thyme and season with 2 teaspoons salt and 1 teaspoons pepper. Cook for 5-6 minutes or until the onions are soft and translucent; add mustard and stir to combine. Add apples and cabbage and stir gently.
2. Add buttermilk and cream, decrease heat to medium and cover. Let simmer for 10-15 minutes or until cabbage is soft but not mushy. Season with remaining salt and pepper and serve.
