Cabbage German Style

Ingredients

  • 3 slices of thick cut bacon

  • Olive oil, as needed

  • 1 head green cabbage, sliced thick

  • 1/2 cup white wine, more as needed

  • 1/2 cup vegetable broth, more as needed

  • 2 teaspoons star anise, ground

  • 1 teaspoon dry parsley

  • 1/2 teaspoon dry thyme leaves

  • 1/2 teaspoon sea salt

  • 1/2 teaspoon black pepper

  • 1/2-1 cup heavy cream

  • Yuca Root
  • 1 yuca root

  • 1/4 cup vegetable broth

  • sea salt

Directions

  • Sauté the bacon in a little bit of olive oil. Remove bacon leaving the bacon drippings in the pan. Add the cabbage to cook until slightly browned.
  • Cut the bacon into smaller pieces and add back into cabbage.
  • Add the white wine and scrape the bottom of the pan to deglaze the flavor on the bottom.
  • Add vegetable broth, ground star anise, dry parsley, dry thyme, sea salt, and pepper. Let all cook down until softened.
  • Add heavy cream and continue to simmer.
  • Yuca
  • Peel the skin and wood core off of the root with a knife. Slice yuca into 1 inch chunks.
  • Soften on a pan over medium-high heat in some vegetable oil. Sprinkle with salt. Allow to soften down slightly, then add to the cabbage mixture.
  • Simmer with cabbage to allow flavors to blend. Add more white wine, broth or heavy cream to reach desired thickness.
