Smoked Cabbage

YB

I found this on a site called Wiley's World...Looks like we can have some fun trying different stuffings....NB will want to stuff it with squid.
Larry[p]SMOKED CABBAGE[p] [p]If you have never tried smoked cabbage I suggest that you try this. While you have the meat smoking you can also smoke a whole head of cabbage to go with it. Just get a large head of cabbage and take the core out of it. Now dig a cavity in it about the size of your fist or a little smaller. Stuff that cavity with chopped onions, chopped up bacon pieces(raw), about 2 tablespoons of butter, salt and pepper. You can add anything you like jalapenos or shrimp maybe. It's up to you. Be creative. Then wrap the cabage in foil but leave the top open. put in the smoker and smoke it like this for about 2 hours. Now close the foil up and cook it for about another 3 hours or until the cabbage is done. It is amazing how long it takes a cabbage to cook.

YB,Sounds really good - will put it on he list of future projects. Like djm I am also curious as to temps...ERIC

E.B.,
"Steven Raichlen" How to grill, calls for medium temp. which in his book means anywhere from Med. low=300°
Med.=325°-350° or Med hi=400°
Book says about 1 to 1 1/2 hours indirect, some use the foil he seems to prefer it without or maybe 30 min. in foil then without. I did it a long time ago and it was quite good.
I probably cooked at the lower temp. until very tender as I like my veggies soft.
Hope that may help some.

YB,[p]I don't use a whole cabbage, but I grill cut up cabbage in foil when I'm making Bourbon Chicken. I just cut it up in quarters, then slice it in 3/4" slices. I add a tablespoon of fried meat grease, tablespoon of butter or oleo, and a tablespoon of water. Basically wrap it up in foil and put at the front of the egg direct at 350º - 375º for about 15 minutes. I take it off and let it set for about 10 minutes or until the chicken is done. It works very well, but I don't leave the foil open for any smoke.[p]Ashley

YB:[p]I grabbed a couple of small red cabbages and some Brussels sprouts from the garden this evening. The cabbage was stuffed with chopped onion, whole (small) Brussels sprouts, and draped with half cooked bacon. A little Bud was added to the cavity for liquid. Placed in foil, each stuffed cabbage was then covered (top slightly open) with a single cabbage leaf to keep things moist. They were cooked at 350º for an hour and a half and then served. The Princess approved, so I think we have a winner here. The key is to make certain everything is completely cooked.[p]YB, thanks for the recipe suggestion.

YB:[p]It certainly would. We had chicken so I wanted to stick to something more vegetable in nature. This recipe allows for plenty of creativity.
