I did something like that, but with duck fat. Oh, wait; that recipe starts whole, then cuts in quarters. I’ve not tried that.

Okay. That’s it. A half a head of cabbage goes into a pot with Korean Dumplings and Rice Cakes tomorrow.

Trying to understand the benefit of not cutting it into quarters at the beginning - I would think that would maximize caramelized surface area…

Seems like the cabbage is left whole so it basically steams itself to cook all the way through, then they cut and sear it for some texture.
I love roasted wedges but it doesn’t end up with a steamed soft interior

Hmm. That’s what I was thinking too, but what if one roasted the wedges at the lower temp… will have to experiment (after I finish all that braised cabbage sitting in my freezer 
)

Corned beef & cabbage with red potatoes tonight. I have to empty out the freezer & there were a few corned beefs in there.

From last year’s St Pat day?
You are thrifty!
Not exactly - we corn our own from whole briskets. These are the ones that didn’t get used at New Years. We didn’t have our open house this year. Plus - I have a really big freezer.

I’m envious.
Of the corned beef or the freezer? It’s easy to corn beef. all you need is a bag of Morton’t Tender Quick which they sell at Wegman’s & Walmart , some spices & a little time.

& once you corn the beef you can cover it in crushed peppercorns & smoke it into Pastrami. That ought to be right up your alley.
& the best thing about home corned beef is no shrinkage. Since you don’t inflate it by injecting water, the water doesn’t all come out when you cook it. So what you start with is what you get at the end.

Beg to differ re “not photogenic”!
How many (15.5 oz.) cans of beans do you suggest?
Also, do you ever mix different types together? Thanks!
I just do one can, drained and rinsed since sometimes they taste like the can Goya is my favorite for chickpeas. But if you’re more into the beans totally do two! I would mix white beans and chickpeas probably, i think black beans are a specific flavor and usually i just want a creamy texture more than another flavor in the mix.
It’s kind of a dump it all in and let it go thing, and ends up being really cheap since you get a lot of servings (that freeze well too)

Oh, my first time trying savoy, as it was oddly the only organic option at the store. Pretty!

I like savoy cabbage better for slaws and raw salads, seems to be a little softer and more “fluffy”
