Cabbage: A Seasonal Winter Bounty.


Look around any farmers market or grocery store as the weather cools into Fall and you will see a dwindling produce section. Gone are the bright berry reds and blushes of peach. Does that mean that local produce is no longer available? Not at all! Here in the Hudson Valley, NY, winter hardy greens step up and have their moment to shine. Kale, Cabbage and Kohlrabi (from the Brassica oleracea Family) can be harvested thru late October or even mid November here in upstate NY.

Cabbage is mainly eaten as an ingredient in coleslaws or stuffed and baked. I love serving these hardy greens in unexpected ways. The below recipe was originally created as a quick side dish to go with an oven roasted pork loin, but has become a mainstay on my winter dining room table.
