CABBAGE and BEANS
Cabbage and beans is a thick, delicious, economical meal which will satisfy even the heartiest of appetites.
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup olive oil
- 5 cloves fresh garlic
- 1 medium yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons dried basil
- 1 ham bone
- 1 pound dried beans we used navy beans
- 1 head green cabbage
- 16 cups water
Instructions
Prepare Ingredients
- Remove the bottom and core of the cabbage and rough chop into large pieces. Rough chop the garlic and onion.
- Rinse and pick through dried beans to make sure there isn't any foreign matter in hanging around in the beans.
Cooking Instructions
- Add the olive oil, onion, garlic and basil to the stockpot to start the stock. Cook on medium heat for about 10 minutes to incorporate the flavors and soften the dried herbs, onion and garlic. Medium heat will allow the flavors to incorporate without browning the onion or garlic. Stir frequently.
- Add 16 cups of water to the stockpot, then add the beans and ham bone. Bring to a full boil, then turn the heat down and simmer for 2 and 1/2 hours. You can leave uncovered or use a cover. Adjust heat accordingly to make sure you stay at a simmer.
- Add cabbage to the stock, bring to a boil and then turn down the heat to medium low so you have a slow boil. Cook for another 45 minutes until the cabbage is tender.
- Serve
