Homemade Orecchiette with Cabbage, Dill & Pancetta
I saw loads of recipes for this online, even Martha Stewart did one, but she used dry orecchiette. She is a very busy woman: I am a stay at home mum; so I thought I'd make my own. I looked at Mario Batali's recipe, then went ahead and did it a different way. Weekend lunch maybe?

Put semolina and flour in a bowl.
- 2
Make a well in the middle with your hand and add the water bit by bit, swirling your hand til it makes a dough.

Put the dough onto a floured surface and knead it, adding more flour to the surface if it sticks, and knead for 10 minutes.

Spray a piece if plastic wrap with cooking spray or a little olive oil wiped over with kitchen paper, then wrap the dough and refridgerate it for 30 minutes

Take a piece of dough about the size of a glass marble, roll into a ball in the palm if your hand, then cup your palm, place your other thumb firmly into the middle of the ball of dough and drag it down towards your wrist to make a curled 'ear' shape out of the bit of dough. Let it drop off your hand onto the baking tray

Get more flour on your hand and repeat until all the dough is used up.
- 10
Shake the orecchiette off the tray, carefully into the boiling water. You may need to use a slotted spoon to gently move them off the bottom off the pan. Give the pan a shake to move them about a bit.

Meanwhile, in a medium saucepan, melt the butter, then add the dill, followed by the cabbage and season with salt and black pepper.

Stir around until the cabbage is wilted and coated with butter and dill.

Ground Meat Cutlets with Lots of Cabbage Ground Meat Cutlets with Lots of Cabbage
Sometimes you just want to forget about calories and bite into juicy ground meat cutlets. I thought about adding tofu and fresh okara into the meat, but I added a lot of cabbage instead (leaving the meat as is) to make the cutlets juicy.If the ingredients do not stick together in Step 2, try adding some panko breadcrumbs.Dredge the patties in flour, egg, then panko bread crumbs (in that order) even when you're not using tempura flour. I make mine in small sizes to make them easier to fry. Recipe by Mia

This was a new recipe for me. I had never even had stuffed cabbage so I just winged it. I thought it turned out very delicious... I ended up eating all of it in 2 days (by myself!) I'd say it would make approximately 3 servings if serving as is. 6 servings if served over rice.

Spring cabbage and pork stir-fry with miso and oyster sauce Spring cabbage and pork stir-fry with miso and oyster sauce
I wanted to make a good use of spring cabbage. The flavour of miso and oyster sauce mix is absolutely delicious.I used 2 large leaves of cabbage for this recipe.If your cabbage seems smaller in size, I would suggest you using a little more than that (3 to 4 leaves).The sauce is quite rich in flavour so you can be generous with the amount of vegetables you add to the pan. The finished dish will be as delicious if you swap japanese leek with onion. Recipe by Nanohana -

Simmered Spring Cabbage and Spring Onions with Mustard Cream Simmered Spring Cabbage and Spring Onions with Mustard Cream
-I made it rather simply with what I had at home.It's easier if you use spring vegetables because they don't need to be cooked too long, but you can use regular cabbage and onions if they're not in season.-It's so easy, but no one thinks of it as a lazy cook's recipe.-You can also use regular cabbage and onions and it will still be delicious. (Adjust the steaming time - after you cover the pan - and make it slightly longer.)-The potatoes makes it filling, but you can take them out if you don't need them.In that case, the volume will be a lot less so please add more cabbage and onions.-Also works with chicken thigh instead of pork. For 2-3 servings. Recipe by putimiko -
Stuffed whole cabbage Stuffed whole cabbage
I do not want to say all of us but let say most of us know traditional roll stuffed cabbage leaves and in different countries there is a variety of stuffed cabbage leaves recipes. In Iran we make stuffed sweet-sour cabbage leaves – plus savoury version of the dish.But today I am going to introduce stuffed WHOLE CABBAGE . It was so excited to prepare this dish. It looks like a meat layered cake and actually some of my own friends thought it is a kinda cake but they found out no it is an entire whole stuffed cabbage :)For preparing this dish, you may use minced beef, lamb, turkey or pork . Or you may skip the the meat and go on with vegetables such as mushroom, carrot, bell pepper, aromatic fresh herbs, tomato.You also would need to have cheese cloth to hold whole cabbage head together.#dolma#cabbage#stuffed_cabbage
