Cabbage Steaks


I ran across this recipe on Facebook, and tracked it down to someone I can actually link back to. This is a very simple dish to make, and we like it so much, we've had it twice in three days. It's served here with garlic-broccoli mashed potatoes and my own favorite recipe for cheese sauce. Get the Cabbage Steak details straight from the source. (Actually, I think she got it from Martha Stewart, but Martha gets enough hits on her own.) If you don't want to go to the trouble of rubbing your cabbage with garlic, a sprinkle of garlic powder will do. We like our Cabbage Steaks with a little Dijon mustard on the side.

To make the Garlic-Broccoli Mashed Potatoes, boil cut potatoes along with sliced garlic until almost done. Throw in chopped broccoli and continue cooking. when the potatoes are tender, drain and mash it all up together with veg-butter, salt, and pepper.

And, My New Favorite Cheese Sauce goes like so:

1 cup raw cashews, soaked at least 20 minutes
1/2 cup nutritional yeast
1/2 tsp salt, or to taste
1/2 tsp paprika
1/2 tsp garlic powder
1/2 tsp dry mustard
2 tsp miso
1 T tamari, or to taste
1/4 cup apple cider vinegar
1 cup water (or non-dairy milk)

Rinse the soaked cashews, and place them in a blender or food processor with all other ingredients. Blend until smooth. Transfer the sauce to a sauce pan, and warm over med-low heat, adding more water if necessary.
