Slow Cooker Stuffed Cabbage with Sausage and Rice

Advertisements

Stuffed Cabbage, or pigs in a blanket, I’ve made before in the slow cooker. Last time, I used just beef, and that was very good. This time, to make it more traditionally, I added rice. Rice was originally added to stretch the filling to get more food cheaply. I also added some pork sausage. This added more spice to the stuffed cabbages. I also added beef broth to thin the sauce and cover the stuffed cabbages. It was another way to add more flavor than just water. I did make 10 stuffed cabbages with this recipe, but I made them very large, to the point where 1 to 1 1/2 stuffed cabbage was enough for 1 adult portion. These stuffed cabbages also freeze well. To freeze, transfer to a freezer safe container, cover with sauce, cover, label and freeze. Then they can be microwaved to reheat.

Fried Pork With Asian Stir-Fried Veggies Over Rice

Advertisements

When I made this, I cut the pork before breading and frying, but that was a huge waste of time. I also added them once fried to the wok with the veggies, that was also very unnecessary. The pork gets no additional flavor from going back into the wok, and this can damage the nice breading you spent time making. Otherwise this was a very delicious meal. Also, sorry for the lack of pictures lately. I’ve been having trouble staying on top of that, so some of the next few post will also have the same pattern until I can form the habit again. Thanks for your patience!

Homemade Coleslaw

Advertisements

Like Potatoes, cabbage is also in season here now. Cabbage is a great vegetable because it can last up to 6 weeks in your fridge before beginning to go bad. Cabbage has a very similar flavor to a head lettuce, but it is used in so many more recipes than just lettuce. Cabbage is used is in stir fry, made into sides like coleslaw, made into sauces like kimchi, wrapped around food like stuffed cabbage, and as an ingredient in spring rolls. Cabbage is versatile and used across many ethnic groups.

Coleslaw is really easy to make, and the only thing that takes time is preparing the ingredients. Shredding cabbage can take some time at first, but you become faster with time. The ingredients can also be altered. I added a bit more of each, mayo and sour cream. This was very unnecessary, and I’ve adjusted my recipe to match. As for cabbage, I shredded about 4-5 cups for this recipe. I highly recommend using the full quantity of vinegar, and I also recommend letting is sit before serving. This allows the vinegar to penetrate better. This recipe makes 8 adult side servings.
