Cabbage with Lentils
- 2 1/2 c Lentils
- 7 c Water
- 1 sm Cabbage
- 1 Jar sauerkraut
- 1 lg Onion
- 1 tb Butter
- 1 tb Flour
- Salt and pepper
- 1 1/2 tb Caraway seed
Put lentils and water in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil. Simmer for 30-40
min. until tender. Put sauerkraut & caraway seed in a Dutch oven. Begin
warming sauerkraut. Shred cabbage and put into Dutch oven, but do not mix
until cabbage has wilted ( 3-5 minutes). Mix & continue simmering them
until cabbage is soft. Slice onion and saute in butter until soft (or
continue cooking until brown, for a different taste) then slowly add flour
to thicken mixture. Add to cabbage mixture. Drain lentils if necessary. Add
lentils, salt & pepper to cabbage mixture and toss lightly. Simmer until
flavors mingle. Serve hot.
Serving Ideas : Serve with Sauteed Butter & Onion Noodles Saute 3 or 4
onions sliced in a cresant shape in butter. Cook noodles as usual. Mix
together. Salt & pepper to taste. (We like to add 1/2 tablespoon of
caraway seed to the cooking onions)
NOTES : may substitue split peas for lentils. (original recipe called = for
the peas)
