Winter Comfort Food

[WhiteWolf]

Still experimenting with recipes here. Working on my fried cabbage. It's economical and a whole head will make two meals for us. Cabbage was 49 cents at the store this week. So, using my biggest skillet I started with frying 6-8 strips of bacon. You can chop it first then fry it. When the bacon's done, slice 1/2 a large onion & 1/2 a green pepper. Fry those in the bacon grease while you're chopping the cabbage. I coarsely diced every thing. Add the cabbage to the skillet, add garlic powder, salt & pepper & red pepper flakes. Fry until cabbage is softened & starting to brown. Enjoy!

Other half of cabbage is going to be chopped & added to mashed taters and leeks, with cheese on top.

I take a savoy cabbage and chop coarsely. Fry that with olive oil until tender. Add caraway seeds and raisins. Salt and pepper to taste.
You could add red pepper flakes for heat. A splash of vinegar. Whatever.
I like cabbage. I detest it boiled to slime.

Excellent Beef/Venison stew recipe,

Although I would reduce the salt drastically. I think they screwed the pooch on that. Teaspoons maybe.

Awesome recipe, and the red wine boosts the flavor.

For the beer bread, I think it works better in a muffin tin instead of one huge loaf.

For the record, I think it pays to sautè the veggies, prior to adding them, it brings out the flavors more.

Bubble and squeak is a traditional British dish made from leftover mashed potatoes and cooked cabbage, mixed together and fried until crispy. To make it, combine the mashed potatoes and cabbage in a pan, season, and cook until browned, then serve hot, o ften topped with a fried egg or bacon. i add onyums to everthang. ive replaced the mashed tatoes with mashed rutabagafey slices bacon and a med fried aig you got a meal. beanie weenie with extra ween is a good comfort food, W WOLF makes a shepherds pie that is most excellent its a bowl licker .

Stew is mine, but any food in the winter is a comfort actually.

 

[O:gweh]

Anything that stays warm in a dutch oven on the wood stove. Nothin better than coming in from the cold and ladling a bowl of hotness that's ready to go whenever.

Most of my life, I would have a lot of choices along the lines of blackeyed peas and cornbread, pintos, (really - all the dried beans I loved), basic chuck roast with carrots, onions, and taters, standard spaghetti and meat sauce, etc. and chili with lots of beans and tomatoes.

Since I've had to follow a mostly ketovorish diet, I have found I can really love a pot of chili that has no beans. I go easy on the tomatoes, and use a can of Rotel, lots of spices, jarred chopped chipotles,and a mix of ground beef and smoked fatty brisket.
At the end, melt in a bit of cream cheese Yep, makes it richer and heftier.
And I still add sour cream as a topping too.
Mmm mmm.
