Usually we would do cabbage by throwing some bacon into a pan then cooking the cabbage in the fat, but having been gifted some turkey sausages via the 'gotta go today' shelf of the local supermarket, we wanted a version that wouldn't overpower them so this simple and quick recipe doesn't have the bacon.
Apols for the photo quality and lighting - didn't know I was going to do this until I'd started...
Ingredients* Half a cabbage (or a whole one) with the woody bit removed, then sliced or diced or however you prefer to make sure it's dead.
* Large onion, sliced or diced ditto.
* Pair of apples, peeled, cored and chopped. Tip: if you normally do all the prep before starting on the cooking, either make an exception for these or store them in a bowl of water to stop 'em going brown.
* Oil of some kind. For this I used olive oil plus some goose fat. Butter is fine instead/as well.
* That's it - no other liquid (except mustard if you like that). There will be plenty to soak up with mash or bread or whatever at the end, even so.
MethodI used a pressure cooker but a pan with a lid should be OK with a longer cooking time. The important bit is that the heat and steam needs to be kept in.
Heat the oil/fat/butter and saute the onions until transparent(ish).
Add the apple and give it a good stir to get the apple oiled up. Add mustard, salt and pepper to taste (that's a good teaspoon of Dijon, and about half to three-quarters of a teaspoon of salt, which worked for us but YMMV).
Mix and add the cabbage, giving it a good stir. Slap the lid on and once the cooker is up to pressure give it 20 mins. No, 25. Which is about 40-60 if it's a safe ole lidded pan.
Serve. Doesn't look like much in the photo but it's all I could grab before the rest evaporated, courtesy of my other half.
