Our First Favorite Resort Recipe

Thursday, August 20th, 2009

Sherry Muir put together this recipe for a fish fry several guests organized and it was really a hit.  I have never been a cooked cabbage lover but I had seconds of this.

Hello All:

Here is the cabbage recipe Terry wanted. I hope you like it.
Sherry

Fried Cabbage
1 head green or red cabbage, sliced
2 - 3 apples (past their prime is perfect)
1 - 2 medium onions, thinly sliced
½ lb of bacon
Cajun Seasoning
½ cup vinegar and ¼ - ½ cup sugar (or sweetner), mix to dissolve

Cut the bacon into small pieces and fry until done, but not crispy. Quarter cabbage, onions and apples, remove hearts/core and slice, but not too thin.

Add all of this to the bacon, sprinkle with Cajun seasoning, cook over medium heat, covered and stir frequently. It will begin to brown and caramelize (you may need to add more bacon grease or cooking oil). Continue to add Cajun seasoning to the spice level you like. When the mix is a nice caramel color, and the vegetables are done, but not mushy, add the vinegar and sugar mixture. Stir fully, cover and let simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring frequently.

Please understand that I don’t really use a recipe, so all of the amounts listed are just my best guess. Feel free to adjust as you see fit and add most any fruit or vegetable that is past its prime.

So now let’s see some more recipes.  We have one for baked fish that we like a lot and I’ll get that posted soon.  I still want to get Paul Davis’s BBQ’ed ribs recipe.

And tonight, weather permitting, we’re doing a cray fish boil.  Dan should be here in a couple of hours to start the cooking.  I’ll get some pics on my next post.
