Potatoes, Cabbage, and Onion Sauteed in Pork Drippings

Advertisements

Side dishes are made to compliment and contrast the main dish. This dish I made to compliment the Pork Chops I posted about yesterday. This recipe I started right after I removed the pork chops and placed them in the oven. The cabbage and potatoes take the longest to cook, so you will want to get them on the heat as quickly as possible. Otherwise, just follow the steps below. You can also delay putting the pork into the oven until you have this dish cooking for about 10 minutes. This side goes perfectly with pork chops, ham, or chicken. The potato won’t cook through completely this way, so it has a bit of structure to it still, the cabbage is soft, but still crunchy in the veins. The onion is perfectly sweet with no additional color, and it is all tied together with a savory and salty oil. You will want to salt and pepper to taste, and if you desire, you can also add other herbs you may have used on your protein. The recipe as written makes 5-7 adult sized side portions.

Slow-Cooker Pigs in a Blanket using Cabbage

Advertisements

Old fashioned pigs in a blanket is a common meal that many people used to make about 100 years ago. This recipe was most commonly made by those who had family stemming from eastern Europe. Today, pigs in a blanket is typically something very different, usually a hot dog or mini dog wrapped in a puff pastry. These pigs in a blanket taste very different than the new version. The older version was savory flavored meat wrapped in a wilted and tender cabbage leaf and coated in a slightly sweet tomato sauce. Though this dish can be very messy to eat, it is filling and very delicious. This recipe makes 12 pigs and 4-5 adult sized servings. This recipe can also easily be doubled and frozen in a freezer container or casserole dish.
