Hello everyone, and welcome back to Prix Fixed,Lifehackers menu-planning advice column.
Im having a tough time coming up with a main dish.
Id like to have a main, a salad, and another side I think?
I hope you’re able to help me!
Alright, lets get down to it.
Smothered cabbage isa recipe from A.A. Newton, who recentlywent vegan, but has always loved vegetables.
You might be tempted to get fancy with the cabbagebut dont!
This recipe is best when made with the common green boy.
The Shopping
But before you might cook, you must shop.
If you want, it’s possible for you to make the artichoke spread the day before.
When its nice and hot, add the drained artichokes and garlic cloves.
Cook for 3-5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the vegetables are caramelized around the edges.
Add the mustard and puree the mixture until you have a slightly lumpy, grayish-yellow paste.
It will look gross at this point, but dont worry, the oil will smooth things out.
With the motor running, drizzle in 1/4 cup of oil, and puree until totally smooth.
Serve with the thin and crisp gluten-free crackers, the pickles, and the olives.
Two hours before your friends are scheduled to arrive, start prepping the cabbage.
First, gather your ingredients.
Finely chop whatevers left of the core and add to the pot to cook with the onions and oil.
Shred the cabbage leaves as finely as you might, and set them aside.
Stir and toss gently to coat every single shred of cabbage with oil.
Add the vinegar and another big pinch of salt, stir again, and cover the pot.
When you have about half an hour left on the cabbage, make the salad.
To make the dressing, combine the remaining ingredients in a sealable jar and shake until emulsified.
The dressing can be kept in the fridge for about a week.
Wash and dry the radicchio and tear the leaves into bite-size pieces.
Serve with lemon wedges and the thick and seedy gluten-free crackers.
Its a lot of leaves, but these leaves are at wildly different ends of the flavor spectrum.
Bitter and sweet, crisp and soft, colorful and beigeyou get it all with this particular combination.
