Beer Braised Cabbage served on Cheesy Toasties

beer braised cabbage served on cheesy toasties

Method

  • Braised Cabbage Method:Finely slice the cabbage, onion and apple (a mandolin or food processor can speed this process up!)
  • Heat a pot on a moderate heat and add a splash of oil
  • Sautee the onion until softened and then add the cabbage and apple
  • Add the beer, honey, thyme and the mustard seeds
  • Put a lid on the pot and turn the heat down and let the cabbage cook down gently
  • Once the cabbage is almost cooked remove the lid and start to reduce the liquid
  • Once the liquid is almost all absorbed add the butter and then lastly season to taste with salt and pepper
  • Set the cabbage aside and prepare the toasties
  • Cheesy Toastie Method:Preheat the oven on grill
  • Mix together the egg yolks, cream cheese, mustard and cheddar cheese
  • Slice thick slices of the bread and lightly toast
  • Spread the cheese mixture across the pieces of toast and place under the hot grill
  • Cook for a couple of minutes (keep a close eye as they can burn very quickly!) until the cheese is bubbling and it is starting to brown
  • Top the toasties with warm beer braised cabbage and add a splash of Worcestershire sauce over the top and enjoy!
