Potatoes, Cabbage, & Carmelized Onions | WEIGHT LOSS WEDNESDAY - Episode: 155

5 DELICIOUS DINNER RECIPES to support your weight loss: www.chefaj.com/5-delicious-lo...
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Thank you Anne West for allowing me to tweak your recipe. I hope you like my variation which I call "Comfort Stew". I made 3 changes to Anne's original recipe as follows:
1) instead of cooking the cabbage and potatoes in a crock pot I cooked them in a pressure cooker
2) I caramelized the onions first
3) I used 4 tablespoons of the white balsamic vinegar instead of 1.5 tablespoons
Anne brought a delicious dish of potatoes, cabbage and onions to a potluck. She made it in a slow cooker. I wanted to make it in the Instant Pot because when I put the 3 large onions one white, one yellow and one sweet) that the recipe called for into my crock pot it was full so I couldn't fit in the large amount of potatoes and cabbage the recipe called for. I figured since the onions were already in the crock pot I would just cook them in their using a recipe I saw here: www.cookistry.com/2011/03/cro....
When the onions were done I drained them and put them aside and put their liquid in the 8 quart Instant Pot along with 2 pounds of red potatoes, cut into fourths, and a huge head of sliced cabbage. I added 2 teaspoons of minced garlic and 2 teaspoons of mustard seeds. I cooked on high pressure for 10 minutes. Release the pressure and stir in the caramelized onions and 4 Tablespoons of a reduced WHITE balsamic vinegar.
This was delicious served over rice.
I used the White Balsamic Vinegar from California Balsamic californiabalsamic.com/produc...

I made this last night. I cooked the onions on the stove top because I did not want to wait for the slow cooker. I also added carrots and mushrooms and bagged shredded cabbage.. well.... I wanted to eat the whole pot! Outstanding!

[@judithp8552]

Celery is also yummy added to this recipe

[@redrocket5183]

@CHEF AJ here Ya go, a cheater cabbage tip: throw in 1/3 amount,set on press cook,but don't lock lid, so there's a bit of cooking to settle the cabbage bits for a couple of minutes, then you'll have room for the rest of the veg...cheers

[@CHEFAJ]

Thank you! As my sister has always said “no good deed goes on punished? You’re damned if you do and you’re damned if you don’t but we probably get at least 50 email today asking for product recommendations so it’s just easier to put them on the videos. Thank you for your kindness

Thank you Chef AJ! I made this last night, served over yukon golds and even the meat eating husband enjoyed it. I appreciate you so very much.

[@susanfromthemountains1754]

I threw my onions and all the other ingredients into my pressure cooker 15 lb of pressure for 10 minutes and everything came out fabulous and so delicious and caramelized all together. This is a wonderful recipe and I thank you very much Chef AJ. ❣️

[@christymack1]

Every since I saw your video of you dropping a bag of crufresious crunch in your instant pot, that was a game changer for me. We have been enjoying veggie soup every night lately. Just learned that asparagus makes a amazing flavor soup too. Thank you😊

[@megatuanis]

I have a Crock Pot brand pressure cooker and I love it. It's also a big one, 8 quart, I think.

[@RG-nw6kr]

Took cook a head or two of cabbage in a slow cooker you have to circle back, it's not about doing it all at once because you WANT those different textures. After the first batch cooks down a little add the rest of you cabbage, mix it up and then turn down the head and let it slow cook.

[@LuckyRed2066]

Whoa...those three onions created such an amazing broth! It was making my mouth water as I was thinking of all the ways I can use this! I cannot wait to make this for Christmas. I have a relative coming over that eats no veggies except potatoes so I'm going to see if this works....if not, more for us!!! Yayyyy!!!

[@KatVegan]

So delicious! I made it haluski style by adding Smoked paprika, and a few drops of liquid smoke! Brings back so many memories ❤

[@sarahedawkins]

This makes me want to add a lot of mushrooms and baby carrots and have like a faux pot roast!

[@CHEFAJ]

YUM!

[@marge201]

Yeah, mushrooms here, too. So how about doing the same exact thing in a slow cooker with sliced mushrooms as we're doing for sliced onions? I do this on the stove using the water the mushrooms generate and adding broth when necessary. Chef AJ, ever try to saute/caramelize mushrooms in a slow cooker?

It depends what else you’re eating but yes you can still lose weight if you don’t refrigerate them before you eat them. You must also eat a lot of vegetables and I also recommend a very low fat approach. Have you read my book by any chance?

[@lisa513727]

I just found this post and I cannot wait to try it tonight. Unfortunately, I caramelized the onions in the crock pot for 24 hours and I just checked them and they are mostly burnt at 23 hours. Now I know for the future to check them at 21 hours. I will make due with some low sodium broth and some of the onions I can salvage. 🙂

Instead of spending several dollars on a diverter, I followed another KZbinr's advice and bought a 50 cent piece of plastic elbow plumbing pipe. It diverts the steam quite well.

Don't use an elbow, use a "Tee". An elbow is not balanced, whereas a "T" is.

[@christinedehn3257]

My German grandmother Oma made something similar that our family has been enjoying for over 100 years. No pressure cookers or crock pots though. She started off with some meat. Bite sized pieces browned, removed and set aside. (Oma used pork chops, Mom used pork steaks, I have evolved to chicken.) Sliced onions, browned in the fat and fond in the pan. Add cut up potatoes and cabbage coarsely sliced. S & P, dash Worcestershire, pieces of meat on top add some water and slowly cook covered, over low heat 'til potatoes and cabbage are soft. Add water if needed during cooking. Put meat on a platter and mash all the veg and drippings together to the consistency of lumpy mashed potatoes. Dinner is ready. Sounds awful, tastes great. Oma used a Dutch oven on the stovetop. Mom liked a large electric frying pan. It all works. Our family has always called it "Gook".

[@cindygagnier2250]

Will definately try this delicious looking recipe, but will cook my onions on the stove first, actual caramalized onions are beautifully golden and rich. Sorry, those are basically just boiled onions, their gray color not so appealing. This recipe, delicious sounding all on its own, stirs the imagination as a jumping off point for so many variations. Who could possibly get bored on this way of eating? Thank you for sharing it with us. 🍎🍄🍆

Can the IP be used in slow cooker mode to caramelize the onions? I like to save on dishwashing by using one pot for a meal, i.e. caramelize overnight in the IP t and then cook the rest under pressure, remove, and then cook the cabbage/potatoes under pressure.

[@mskathleenkelly]

I use my IP on the stove so when I release the seem it goes up the vent

[@marge201]

Made it!! Did the onions almost a week ago in rice/slow cooker. Next time I'll shove in even more onions because they sure do shrink. Used 6-quart IP for the cabbage and potato part.. 1. 3.47-pound purple cabbage which stayed purple, so I'll use purple again next time. 2. Upped the minced garlic from 2t to 5t. 3. Upped the 2t of mustard seeds to 3t of ground mustard seeds. 4. Had room left in IP, so I added 3 small potatoes, upping the potatoes from 2 lb to 2.5 or 3 lb (forgot to weigh those extra potatoes). 5. Used the 4T of California balsamic vinegar (really good). Started eating it and liked it but it needed something. Tomorrow when I make highly seasoned oat groats, I would have added them and that would do the trick. But earlier today I made highly seasoned cannnellini beans in IP and when done, I added a whole bunch of the ground mustard seed just for the hell of it. I like it! So I added the beans to my serving and it's FAB. 6. So I added the whole batch of the now more seasoned cannellini beans (from 1 pound dried beans) reserving 1 3/4C for Nutmeg Notebook Creamy Balsamic Dressing that I'll make tomorrow, mixed it in IP with big tongs and then ate another serving and I love it. I'm totally stuffed and have probably 10 meals, many of which will go in freezer to insure against waste and I'll cook it frozen in IP and have these great meals waiting for me. I'll probably finish it in a week. THANK YOU, CHEF AJ!!!

CHEF AJ When I’m eating it raw I always prefer the purple cabbage because it seems a little bit sweeter and it’s definitely prettier. But when it’s cooked in this recipe it gets very dark but I suppose the color doesn’t really matter

[@marge201]

@@CHEFAJ Thanks so much for your quick reply! Okay, I'll try the purple and report back. The onions are cooking in my rice cooker that I'm so glad I never gave away. The house smells great, they're getting dark, and the liquid it formed will be amazing to throw into the IP with the cabbage & potatoes. 4-5 pounds of sliced onions that filled it to the very top cooked down to half the bowl very quickly. Next time I'll aggressively pack that bowl with more onions so I have more left over to freeze. How many cups of the caramelized onions would you say? 4 cups? 6 cups? I'll probably throw my whole batch in but for the future if I do succeed in shoving a lot more onions into the slow cooker. I guess you can't overdo caramelized onions, so however many you can make in a batch, just use it is probably the answer.

[@CHEFAJ]

I would use all of the onions but that’s just me
