Cabbage stew – Recipe for homemade Cabbage with fresh kale in a baked sauce. Cabbage stew is super easy and delicious to make. Cabbage stew consists of a baked sauce with nutmeg, to which fresh blanched and chopped cabbage is added. Most people eat cabbage stew during Christmas for Christmas lunches or Christmas dinner. Cabbage stew can be served with, for example, glazed ham and sugar-coated potatoes. It also tastes great to serve cabbage stew with fried medister sausage. Cabbage stew is super delicious for the otherwise heavy Christmas meal.
I use fresh cabbage, but you can also use frozen cabbage. Make sure to thaw the cabbage and squeeze out the liquid, otherwise the sauce will be too thin. This way of making kale is exactly the same method when, for example, making parsley sauce for roast pork or spinach sauce.

Ingredients
Instructions
Remove the coarse stems from the cabbage and rinse thoroughly several times with cold water. Blanch the cabbage: Fill a large pot with water and bring to the boil. Add the cabbage and cook for 4-5 minutes.
Pour the cooked cabbage into a sieve and immediately place the cabbage in a bowl of ice cold water.
Drain and let the cabbage drain in the sieve. Chop the kale, this is easy in a food processor. Set the cabbage aside while you make the sauce.
Melt the butter over medium heat in a saucepan. Do not let it brown. Add the flour and whisk thoroughly until it comes together. Heat the milk and add it a little at a time while whisking.
Whisk it together thoroughly before adding more milk. Continue with the rest of the milk until you get a glossy sauce. Make sure the sauce is cooked through while stirring.
Season the sauce with salt, pepper, freshly grated nutmeg and a pinch of sugar. Add the chopped cabbage to the sauce and heat through, stirring. Season again and serve. Enjoy!
