We are always looking for substantial side dishes to accompany our fall entrees. During the cooler months, we love souffles, roasted vegetables and now our new favorite is Cabbage Galette.
This recipe is from one of my all-time favorite cookbooks called My French Kitchen, by Joanne Harris and Fran Warde. Not only are there a nice selection of delicious recipes, but I also love the format of the book and the great photography.
This cookbook is quintessentially French and the simple, timeless recipes are all easy to prepare with the ingredients being the main attraction.
This galette is a perfect combination of pastry filled with cabbage, and the addition of shallots and bacon just adds to the yumminess.
Basically, you steam the cabbage until crisp-tender and mix up all of the other ingredients and assemble.
One of our friends does not eat pork, so we could definitely make this with just the shallots..
A nice tangy addition is a tablespoon of good quality dijon mustard.
This was a perfect side dish for grilled pork chops and a crispy salad.
