Ingredients
- 1-1/2 to 2 lbs green cabbage trimmed, finely shredded
- 4 tbsp unsalted butter
- 4 slices Canadian bacon cut into thin strips
- 1 tsp Dijon mustard
- 3 tbsp cognac
- 1 large onion finely chopped
- 1 small package cream cheese
- 1 tbsp heavy or whipping cream
- 3 tbsp chopped fresh dill
- Pinch of ground cloves
- Salt and freshly ground black pepper
Instructions
- Cook the cabbage in boiling salted water 5 minutes; drain.
- Melt 1 tbsp of the butter in a small saucepan. Add the Canadian bacon and cook over medium-high heat until the strips begin to brown. Reduce the heat to low, stir in the mustard and cognac, and cook 3 minutes. Remove from the heat.
- Melt the remaining 3 tablespoons butter in a large saucepan. Add the onion and cook over medium-low heat 3 minutes. Stir in the cream cheese and heavy cream. Cook until the cheese melts. Stir in the cabbage, tossing well to coat each piece. Cook 4 minutes. Add the Canadian bacon with the pan juices; continue to cook, tossing frequently, until the cabbage is tender, about 5 minutes longer. Add dill, cloves, and salt and pepper to taste.
