Roasted Cabbage Wedges with Orange and Caraway

I love this recipe! I haven't quite figured out how to make it attractive -- my cabbage wedges always fall apart. But, for serving at home (or, for focusing on flavor and not worrying about presentation), one of the nice things about this recipe is portion control -- you can make it in small batches by cooking a wedge on demand. In this way, you have fresh braised/roasted cabbage every day with dinner (rather than roasting it all in one go and having leftovers, with the pros and cons of reheating cooked cabbage).

The original recipe calls for roasting for 45 minutes. I like some crunch to my vegetables, so I pulled this out of the oven after only 25 minutes.

Roasted Cabbage Wedges with Orange and Caraway
Cooking Light

1 tsp caraway seeds, crushed
1 tsp orange rinds, grated
1/2 tsp red pepper flakes
3/8 tsp coarse salt, divided
1/4 tsp turmeric
3 T unsalted butter, softened
1 head green cabbage
1 T olive oil

Preheat oven to 350°F.

Combine caraway, rind, pepper, 1/8 teaspoon salt, turmeric, and butter in a small bowl. Chill 5 minutes or until slightly firm.

Remove outer leaves of cabbage; discard. Cut cabbage vertically into quarters; cut each quarter in half to equal 8 wedges (leave core intact). Brush cabbage wedges evenly with oil. Heat a large skillet over medium. Coat pan with cooking spray. Add cabbage wedges to pan; cook 3 minutes on each side or until browned.

Arrange cabbage wedges, cut sides up, on a baking sheet. Spread half of butter mixture evenly over cut sides of cabbage. Bake at 350°F for 25 minutes. Remove pan from oven; spread remaining half of butter mixture over wedges. Bake at 350°F for 20 minutes or until tender. Sprinkle with remaining 1/4 teaspoon salt and dill. Serve immediately.

Chicken Traybake with Roasted Poblano and Tomato Salsa

This dish is delicious! Easy! And, beautiful to look at! The original recipe calls for you to process all the cooked vegetables together into a chunky salsa, but I recommend serving it as is so you have an automatic side dish. The original also calls for cooking chicken bone-in, but, the more I cook traybakes, the more I advocate for slicing chicken into tenders and cooking boneless. Just a safer bake that way because everything comes to the same temperature at the same time.

Mayocoba Beans with Green Chiles

I love this dish so much that I can barely stand it. Delicious the night it was made, and fantastic as leftovers throughout the week. Mayocoba beans are easily replaced -- try pintos, if you can't find mayocobas. Mayocoba Beans with Green Chiles Baptism of Fire 3-4 green chiles, roasted and chopped 1 onion, chopped 1 clove garlic, minced 1 T lard or olive oil 1/2 tsp oregano 1 tsp cumin pepper 1 c mayocoba beans, dry 3 c water 1 tsp salt Cook the green chiles, onion, garlic, oregano, cumin, and black pepper in the fat until the onions begin to caramelize. Add the water and bring to a boil. Turn off the heat and let the beans sit, uncovered, for an hour. You may drain the water to remove some of the slightly indigestible sugars that cause gassiness. If you decide to drain them, add enough water back into the pot to cover the beans with about 2" of water above the beans for cooking. Bring the beans back to a boil and cook, until tender. This will take...
