Danish Browned Cabbage With Caraway

"This cabbage goes well with pork. It is a traditional Danish dish. The caraway gives it a lovely flavor. You do not add any water with this recipe. It is cooked on the lowest number on your stove - there is enought moisture in thc cabbage that comes out as it slowly cooks. I cover the pot after adding the caraway seeds. Remember to stir each time you pass the stove. As mentioned by Swedish Chef in her review her MIL added an apple - I tried it and it is excellent. Thanks SW"

  1. Love the caraway, very good cabbage but we felt it needed salt and pepper, added it at the table. Just happened to be snipping chives from the garden to freeze them, so I added a couple of tablespoons of them to the cabbage, I think it added to the taste. We enjoyed it and will use the recipe again. Thanks Bergy!!
     
  2. Denmark is close enough to Holland that I don't know which country influenced which, but my Dutch MIL made a dish identical to this...with the addition of apples put into the cabbage. That's the way that I made it, using all of Bergy's incredients but with some nice apple chunks thrown in. Served with a lush pork roast and roasted parsnips, there wasn't a smidge of this dish remaining for leftovers! GREAT simple, easy and tasty recipe, Bergy!
     
  3. This was very good, I thought I had the caraway but i did not so i just did what was suggested and used a lot of black pepper and garlic salt. I cooked mine for about 3 hours on my very lowest stove top setting and it never did brown but it was very tender and tasty, thank you for a delicious recipe and new technique for cabbage!
     
  4. I made this tonight to go with the Danish Fars. I used a little butter instead of bacon drippings or oil. I don't care for caraway seeds, and I think it was tasty without them! I only used 1/2 a small cabbage, next time I'll use a whole one. This was easy and has made me a cabbage lover!
     
  5. Loved this, Bergy! I think I had mine on for about 2 hours or so.....Made for a lovely lunch with some veggie fritters. Thnx for posting! Made for KcK's Forum's Scandinavia Kitchen.

On January 10 2010 I will celebrate 9 years of Life with Zaar. I can't imagine being without it! It has become part of my daily routine. I feel very privileged to be one of the hosts on the Photo Forum. Taking photos of my culinary efforts is a full time hobby and I love it. My friends all know what to expect when they come to dinner "Are you finished taking pictures?" or "Did you get a photo of so & so?" I never let them wait too long and the food is NEVER cold! I now have over 6000 photos on Zaar - some fairly good and some definitely not so good. I am happy to say that practice does help. My roots are in Vancouver BC Canada - a very beautiful city that holds many wonderful memories for me. In 1990, I decided that for my retirement years I may want to settle in a smaller community and found a slice of heaven in the North Okanagan B.C. I love living here but every once in a while I miss the bright city lights, the Broadway shows and some of the small wonderful ethnic restaurants that Vancouver abounds in. That is easily resolved. I just take a trip to the coast, visit with friends for a weekend see a show and feast on Dim Sum or other specialty foods. I am getting a bit long in the tooth but was a very adventurous person. I have river rafted Hell's Gate on the Fraser river, been up in a glider over Hawaii (no not a Hang Glider!), gone hot air ballooning in the Napa Valley & the Fraser Valley, driven dune buggies on the dunes in Oregon, Para sailing in Mexico and tried many other adventurous, challenging, fun things. I have yet to try bungee jumping or sky diving. I may do them yet. I love to travel and experience other cultures. Mexco has been a favorite haunt. I have visited that lovely country many many times. Australia is another favorite as is England! In the past 16 months I have taken off 61 pounds and feel wonderful. I am off all medications and all systems are GO! In years I may be 79 but in spirit I am still in my forties. We are only as old as we allow ourselves to feel. Always think positive. Do something a bit challenging every day & always do something silly every day. Be a kid again! Laugh every day - it is internal jogging.
