Equipment

Ingredients

  • 1 Green cabbage small
  • 1 Onion medium
  • 2 tbsp Butter or olive oil
  • 2 cups Wild mushrooms soked overnight and chopped
  • 2 cloves Garlic minced
  • 1 tbsp Onion powder
  • 1 1/2 tbsp Majoram
  • 1 tbsp Fresh thyme chopped
  • 3 Bay leaves
  • 1/4 tsp Black pepper
  • 1/4 tsp Salt or more to taste

Instructions

  • Soak the dried mushrooms overnight in a bowl of water. This allows them to rehydrate fully and infuse the water with flavor.The next day, cook the mushrooms in the same soaking water for about an hour. Once they’re done, remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside. Be sure to keep that mushroom broth, it’s a liquid treasure.
    2. Dice an onion, heat up a cast-iron skillet over medium heat, and add a little butter or olive oil. Let the onion cook for about five minutes until it turns translucent and golden.
    3. Then add minced garlic and cook for another two minutes.
    4. Next, add sliced cabbage, marjoram, black pepper, bay leaf, thyme, and a pinch of salt.
    5. Pour in a little of the mushroom water if needed; this helps the cabbage soften and absorb all that earthy flavor.
    6. Chop the cooled mushrooms and stir them into the skillet. Cook everything together until the cabbage is soft and caramelized around the edges, about 30-45 minutes.
    7. Finish with a touch of apple cider vinegar to balance the flavor.
