I don’t know if this qualifies, but I have done something using cabbage and kielbasa. I chop some veggies like carrot, onion, celery and sauté. Remove vegetables, Slice some kielbasa and brown in a little oil. Add vegetables back in and chicken broth and more vegetables including cabbage chopped as you like. Add salt, pepper, some herbs and cook on low for….awhile! :).
Not exactly what you’re looking for perhaps….
I like bigos, which is a Polish hunter’s stew/soup with sauerkraut and raisins along with meat. A polish friend made me an authentic version but when I make it I just google for a recipe and leave out the stuff I don’t have (but sauerkraut, raisins/prunes, and sausage are a must for me). (Yes it’s bigos, that’s not a typo.)
I’ll admit I haven’t tried the second one, but the first is pretty close to the one my grandmother used to make:
This is a Croatian version of cabbage stew. This recipe is close to a recipe that I got from my cousin when I visited Croatia in 2019. It calls for a seasoning called Vegata (Croatians put it in everything). You can use Dr. Bragg’s Organic Sprinkle (24 herbs and spices).
Those aren’t my type charro beans, LOL.
1/2 lb bacon chopped
1 onion chopped
1-2 jalopenos, sliced or diced, amount of hot/seeds your choice; I used seedless
6 cloves garlic minced
4 Cups chicken broth
2 tsp. sea salt
1 lb. dried pinto beans that have soaked overnight
1 Tbsp. chili powder
1 Tbsp. cumin
1 tsp oregano
1-2 bay leaves
1 15 oz. can Rotel OR 1 x15 oz. can diced tomatoes + 1 small can chopped green chilies
Set Instant Pot to saute. Start with the pieces of bacon and saute 2-3 min.; add in onion, jalopeno and garlic and cook while stirring another 2 minutes.
Pour in the chicken broth and scrape bits off bottom.
Add remainder of ingredients.
Set to high pressure for one hour. Let naturally release when done for 30 minutes.
Depending on which local Mexican restaurant I go to, the beans can vary a bit.
But your recipe looks pretty good to me! While I don’t have an instant pot, I may get the trusty Dutch oven out and see whether I can replicate your recipe.
Tonight I am making tarragon roast chicken - probably potatoes to go along. Or parmesan polenta, which I love.
I’ve eaten at some of the very well-known restaurants all over the world, but none beats my favorite comfort food, a bowl of wonton noodle soup.
Roast chicken at my house too. A garlicky, smoked paprika rub. Creamer potatoes and green beans.
Hopefully leftovers become enchiladas later in the week.
Sweet & Sour cabbage soup (I made it a few days ago.)
A plate of antipasti cold cuts
Big Italian salad with garbanzos, olives, romaine tomato & pickled peppers, Topped with fresh burrata and grated parmesan cheese
Homemade foccacia
That looks amazingly delicious! Do you make the wonton?
I have never made enchiladas, but was just thinking about giving them a try today. Do you have a good recipe?
Made au gratin potatoes today since I had potatoes that were getting at the end of their life.
Sliced the potatoes, made a white sauce added cheddar and Parmesan cheese. Cooked for 1.5 hours. Thought they turned out well and it was nice on this cold day. Served with roasted chicken and a simple salad
Lol, all the roasted chicken today!
Yes, I usually make my own wontons.
I don’t use a recipe. I use flour tortillas and usually a mild red canned enchilada sauce (H doesn’t like too spicy). I spread a little sauce in a 9 x13. Take flour tortillas and add a little of each of these and roll it up crease side down in pan:
Shredded chicken
Refried beans (I may season them a bit)
A spoon of the enchilada sauce
A tablespoon or so of a sharp cheddar
Fit then close in the pan - 6 to 8 of them
Top with more cheddar, the rest of the sauce. Bake covered at 375-400 for 30
Mins and then 10-15 more uncovered
On mine I like to add chopped fresh jalapeños and onion. Cilantro if I have it.
That’s exactly how I make mine also
Cold and windy down south so spent the day cooking:
-pot roast with potatoes, mushrooms, pearl onions, carrots and red wine
-red beans with ham
-for dinner tonight, spare ribs smoked on grill for 6 hrs, homemade bbq sauce, roasted brussel sprouts with bacon
-smoked chicken thighs on grill, for lunch this week
-seared tuna steaks on grill with roasted corn, for lunch this week
Time for a glass of wine and TV.
That looks fabulous!!
