Makes: 2–4
Time: 3 hours 40 minutes

Ingredients

For the pork shank:

  • One 1–1½-lb. pork shank
  • 2 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
  • 2 fresh thyme sprigs
  • 2 fresh bay leaves
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 medium white onion, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup maple whiskey or regular whiskey
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1 quart pork or chicken stock
  • ½ cup maple syrup
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the buttered cabbage:

  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 1 medium green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 5 oz. thick-cut bacon, cut into 1- by ½-in. pieces
  • 8 Tbsp. unsalted butter, divided
  • 1 Tbsp. olive oil
  • 3 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • 2 fresh bay leaves
  • 1 large carrot, peeled and thinly sliced
  • 1 medium white onion, finely chopped
  • 1 cup dry white wine
  • 1¼ cups vegetable stock

Instructions

  1. Make the pork shank: Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350°F. Using a sharp knife, score the pork shank all over in a crosshatch pattern, cutting through the skin but not through the meat and spacing the cuts about ½ inch apart.
  2. To a large ovenproof skillet over medium-high heat, add the oil. When it’s hot and shimmering, add the shank and cook on all sides until browned and crispy, 12–14 minutes. Add the garlic, thyme, bay leaves, carrot, and onion and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is translucent and the vegetables are softened but not yet browned, 5–7 minutes. Add the whiskey, then carefully light with a long match or stick lighter to flambé, gently shaking until the flames subside. Add the wine and simmer until the liquid has reduced by half, 3–5 minutes. Add the pork stock and maple syrup, season lightly with salt and black pepper, and bring to a boil. 
  3. Bake, turning the shank every 30–40 minutes, until the pork is glazed and glossy and the meat breaks apart easily when pierced with a fork, about 3 hours.
  4. Meanwhile, make the buttered cabbage: Bring a large pot of generously salted water to a boil, add the cabbage, and cook until just wilted, 2–3 minutes. Drain and set aside.
  5. To a large skillet over medium-high heat, add the bacon and cook, stirring frequently, until browned and crispy, 6–8 minutes. Transfer to a strainer set over a small bowl (reserve bacon fat for another use).
  6. Return the skillet to medium heat and add 4 tablespoons of the butter and the oil. When the butter has melted, add the garlic, bay leaves, carrot, and onion, season with salt and black pepper, and cook, stirring frequently, until the onion is translucent and tender, 8–10 minutes. Stir in the cabbage and continue cooking 2 minutes more. Return the bacon to the skillet, add the wine, bring to a simmer, and cook until the liquid has reduced by three-quarters, 5–7 minutes. Add the vegetable stock and bring to a boil. Cover and cook until the cabbage is tender, 25–30 minutes. Remove from the heat, then stir in the remaining butter, cover, and set aside to rest for 10 minutes.
  7. Scoop the cabbage onto a wide platter, then nestle the shank on top. Drizzle over some of the braising juices and serve hot.

Stone Crab Tacos With Cabbage Slaw
James Jackman

Naiara Freeman Rementeria started working at her mom’s Everglades City restaurant, Camellia Street Grill, when she was 17 and now runs the show. When stone crab comes in, there are always some “lights,” or claws in which the meat doesn’t fully fill the shell, and it was from these that the Grill’s taco recipe was born. Rementeria says, “You don’t hear about many preparations beyond serving the chilled claws with mustard sauce, so we started thinking about how to use the lights.” A tangy cabbage slaw, which can be stored in the fridge for up to a week, balances the richness and amplifies the sweetness of the meat. 

Featured in “Tough to Crack” by Carrie Honaker in the Fall/Winter 2025 issue. See more recipes and stories from Issue 205.

Makes: 4 tacos
Time: 15 minutes

Ingredients

For the slaw:

  • ½ cup rice vinegar
  • 1 Tbsp. sugar
  • 1 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 cup shredded cabbage
  • ½ cup shredded carrots

For the tacos:

  • 2 cups stone crab claw meat, flaked
  • ⅓ cup mayonnaise
  • 2 tsp. freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 tsp. Creole mustard
  • 2 tsp. kosher salt
  • 1 tsp. rice vinegar
  • 4 corn or flour tortillas, for serving
  • Lime wedges, for serving

Instructions

  1. Make the slaw: In a medium bowl, stir together the vinegar, sugar, and salt until mostly dissolved. Add the cabbage and carrots and toss to coat. Set aside at room temperature, tossing occasionally, for 10 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, make the tacos: In a medium bowl, stir together the crab, mayonnaise, black pepper, mustard, salt, and vinegar. 
  3. Over a gas stove flame or in a dry skillet over high heat, heat the tortillas, turning occasionally, until softened and blackened in spots, about 1 minute. Top the tortillas evenly with the crab mixture and slaw and serve with lime wedges.

This version of the classic Ukrainian soup from chef Olia Hercules features fresh peas, new potatoes, and wild mushrooms for a seasonal take that’s perfect for warmer months. The dish is finished with a splash of beet kvass, a fizzy fermented drink popular in Ukraine, but any tart, fruity vinegar will work. Wild mushrooms can be foraged or purchased fresh at certain times of the year, but dried morels, chanterelles, or black trumpets are available year-round. If your dried mushrooms are particularly gritty, soak them in hot water for a half an hour and discard any dirt before adding them to the soup. Feel free to add any other tender spring vegetables, such as snap peas or asparagus, to the borshch just a few minutes before it finishes cooking.

Featured in “Olia Hercules’ Home Kitchen is a Haven for Plants, Art, and Community” by Alex Testere in the Spring/Summer 2025 issue. See more recipes and stories from Issue 204.

Makes: 4
Time: 2 hours

Ingredients

  • 1½ oz. (¾ cup) dried wild mushrooms, such as morels, chanterelles, or black trumpets
  • 2 medium onions, 1 whole, peeled, 1 finely chopped
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 medium beet, peeled and cut into ⅛-in. slices
  • Kosher salt
  • 3 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • 1 medium carrot, coarsely grated
  • 1 medium red bell pepper, sliced into thin batons
  • 2 Tbsp. tomato paste
  • 8 oz. small new potatoes, scrubbed and quartered
  • 2 cups shelled fresh or frozen fava beans
  • ¼ cup dill fronds, plus more for serving
  • 2 garlic cloves
  • 8 oz. green cabbage (about ½ head), shredded
  • 4 oz. shelled green peas
  • Beet kvass, or fruity vinegar
  • Crusty bread, for serving

Instructions

  1. To a large pot, add the mushrooms, whole onion, bay leaf, beet, 1 tablespoon of salt, and 3½ quarts of water and bring to a simmer. Cook until the broth darkens and reduces slightly, about 45 minutes.
  2. Meanwhile, to a large skillet over medium heat, add the oil, chopped onion, and a pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and pale golden, 10–12 minutes. Stir in the carrot and another pinch of salt and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened, 4–6 minutes. Add the bell pepper and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Stir in the tomato paste and cook until slightly darkened, about 4 minutes more.
  3. Scrape the vegetable mixture into the broth, then add the potatoes and fava beans. Bring to a simmer and cook until the potatoes are easily pierced with a knife, 25–30 minutes. Remove and discard the whole onion and bay leaf.
  4. Finely chop the dill and garlic together into a coarse paste, then add it to the soup along with the cabbage and peas. Cook until the cabbage wilts and softens and the peas turn bright green, about 3 minutes. Turn off the heat, cover, and set aside for 5 minutes. Add beet kvass, more dill, and salt to taste. Serve hot with crusty bread.

Here’s how to make France’s quintessential boiled beef dinner, complete with savory root vegetables and rich, meaty broth.

The post Pot-au-Feu appeared first on Saveur.

Pot-au-Feu

Pot-au-feu, which means “pot on fire” in French, is a centuries-old boiled dinner consisting of beef and root vegetables cooked slowly until all the ingredients emerge spoon-tender from a rich, concentrated stock. It’s traditionally served in two courses: the broth, then the meat and vegetables. This recipe is from the since-shuttered Le Goxoki in Pau, which was famous for the dish. 

Featured in the November 2004 issue.

Makes: 8–10
Time: 3 hours

Ingredients

For the pot-au-feu:

  • 2½ lb. bone-in beef shanks (2 in. thick and 8–10 oz. each), tied around the equator with twine
  • 2½ lb. shoulder clod roast, or chuck roast, tied
  • 4 carrots, peeled and trimmed
  • 3 parsnips, peeled and trimmed
  • 3 turnips, peeled and trimmed
  • 2 leeks, trimmed, cleaned, and halved crosswise
  • 2 medium onions
  • 1 small Savoy cabbage, quartered
  • 3 parsley sprigs
  • 3 black peppercorns
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 1 garlic clove, peeled
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 6 medium waxy potatoes, peeled

For the sauce gribiche:

  • 2 Tbsp. plus 2 tsp. white wine vinegar, divided
  • ½ tsp. dry mustard powder
  • 1 large egg yolk
  • 1 cup vegetable oil
  • 1 Tbsp. drained capers
  • 1 Tbsp. finely chopped chervil leaves
  • 1 Tbsp. finely chopped parsley leaves
  • 1 Tbsp. finely chopped tarragon leaves
  • 1 hard-boiled egg, peeled and halved
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

For the tomato sauce:

  • 7 medium plum tomatoes
  • 1 Tbsp. extra-virgin olive oil
  • ¼ tsp. hot sauce, such as Sriracha
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Make the pot-au-feu: To a large pot, add the beef shanks, shoulder clod roast, carrots, parsnips, turnips, leeks, onions, and cabbage. Using twine, tie the parsley, peppercorns, bay leaf, and garlic in a piece of cheesecloth and add to the pot. Add enough cold water to cover the meat and vegetables (7–9 quarts), season generously with salt, and bring to a boil. Turn the heat to medium and simmer, skimming any foam that rises to the surface, until the meat is nearly cooked, about 1½ hours. Add the potatoes and simmer until the meat flakes easily when pierced with a fork, about 1 hour more. Season to taste with salt and black pepper.
  2. Meanwhile, make the sauce gribiche: In a medium bowl, whisk 2 teaspoons of the vinegar, the mustard powder, egg yolk, and 2 teaspoons of water until foamy. Whisking continuously, very gradually add the vegetable oil, starting with a few drops at a time, until all the oil is incorporated and a thick sauce forms. (Alternatively, in a food processor or blender, pulse together 2 teaspoons of the vinegar, the mustard powder, egg yolk, and 2 teaspoons of water. With the motor running, in a slow, steady stream, add the oil and blend until thick.) Stir in the remaining vinegar, the capers, chervil, parsley, and tarragon. Through a fine-mesh strainer, press the hard-boiled egg into the sauce and stir to combine. Season to taste with salt and black pepper. Cover and refrigerate.
  3. Make the tomato sauce: Position a rack in the top third of the oven and preheat the broiler. On a baking sheet, place the tomatoes and broil, turning occasionally, until the skins are blackened in spots and the flesh is very soft, 10–12 minutes. Set aside until cool enough to handle, then peel, core, seed, and chop the tomatoes and transfer to a bowl. Stir in the olive oil and hot sauce and season with salt and black pepper to taste.
  4. Serve the pot-au-feu: For the first course, using a ladle, strain some of the broth into four soup bowls. For the second course, use a spider skimmer to transfer the vegetables and shanks to one side of a large warmed platter. Transfer the roast to a cutting board, discard the twine, and slice thickly. Place meat and any accumulated juices on the other side of the platter, then ladle some of the remaining broth over the top. (Strain any remaining broth and reserve for another use.) Serve with the gribiche and tomato sauces on the side.

Warming and satisfying with large chunks of root vegetables and charcuterie, this soup evokes the many garbures—thick cabbage stews made with ham or bacon and stale bread—in the Gascony region of southwestern France. This garbure recipe was inspired by a dish writer and cooking instructor Kate Hill enjoyed at a cafe in Salies-de-Béarn. It calls for ventrèche, an unsmoked, French cured pork belly similar to pancetta; you can find both it and duck confit via the online retailer D’Artagnan, a well-regarded supplier of French-style charcuterie.

Featured in “In French Gascony, Duck Fat is King.”

Makes: 6
Time: 2 hours 15 minutes

Ingredients

  • 5–6 fresh thyme sprigs
  • One 6-inch celery stalk with leaves, or a few sprigs lovage or parsley
  • 1 bay leaf
  • 4 medium Yukon Gold potatoes, peeled and quartered
  • One 1½-lb. Savoy cabbage, cut into 6 thick wedges
  • 2 medium yellow onions, coarsely chopped
  • 2 large turnips (about 1 lb.), peeled and quartered
  • 8 oz. ventrèche, salt pork, or fresh pork belly, chopped into bite-size strips
  • 3 large medium carrots, peeled and cut into large chunks
  • 2 large leeks, rinsed well and cut into 2-in. pieces
  • 4 oz. dried white beans such as white runner or great northern, soaked overnight and drained
  • 7 garlic cloves (4 sliced, 3 halved lengthwise)
  • 1 Tbsp. kosher salt, plus more to taste
  • 12 whole black peppercorns
  • 2 duck confit legs, wiped clean of most of their fat
  • 1 Tbsp. duck fat or unsalted butter
  • 6 thin slices Jambon de Bayonne or prosciutto
  • 6 thick slices crusty country bread, lightly toasted

Instructions

  1. Make a bouquet garni: in a square of cheesecloth, bundle together the thyme, celery, and bay leaf; tie with kitchen twine to close, and set aside.
  2. To a large pot, add the potatoes, cabbage, onion, turnips, ventrèche, carrots, leeks, beans, sliced garlic, the bouquet garni, a tablespoon of kosher salt, and the peppercorns. Add 2 quarts of water, cover the pot, and bring the liquid to a boil over high heat. Turn down the heat to maintain a simmer, cover, and continue cooking until the vegetables are tender and the beans are nearly tender, 50–60 minutes. Take the duck legs by the ankle and use them to stir the pot a few times before dropping them into the soup. Continue cooking until the beans are fully tender and the duck meat easily falls off the bone when prodded with a fork, 25–30 minutes. Let the glossy duck skin slip off into the soup, then remove and discard the bones, and coarsely chop the meat into smaller pieces.
  3. When ready to serve, prepare the garnish: In a medium skillet, warm the duck fat over medium heat. Add the Jambon de Bayonne in batches and cook in a single layer, turning once, until lightly browned and crispy, about 4 minutes per side.
  4. Rub each slice of bread with a garlic half and distribute the slices among 6 wide, shallow soup bowls. Ladle the garbure over the bread. Drape a slice of griddled ham atop each bowl and serve immediately.

Add the potatoes and their cooking water; continue cooking for 10 minutes. Stir in 2 tablespoons each of dill, parsley, and chives, and season to taste with salt and black pepper.
  4. Serve in bowls, either hot or chilled, and top with sour cream, garlic, and the remaining herbs.

melty one-pan cabbage recipe with bacon and pecans.
PHOTOGRAPHY BY BELLE MORIZIO; FOOD STYLING BY LAURA SAMPEDRO

Welcome to One Pot Bangers, Benjamin Kemper’s weeknight cooking column, where you’ll find our freshest, boldest ideas that require just one pot, skillet, or sheet pan. Busy week? We’ve got you covered with these low-effort, high-reward recipes from around the globe.

Do you know what happens to cabbage when you bake it for two and a half hours? If not, read on.

Of all the cookbooks on my shelf, come winter there’s one I reach for the most. Its pages are schmutzed and dogeared, and once upon a time—in the early aughts—everybody in the food world was talking about it: All About Braising, by Molly Stevens. I mean, the recipes basically sell themselves: What’s not to love about duck ragù with bucatini, braised cauliflower with toasted breadcrumbs, or soy-braised chicken thighs with orange and star anise? 

But the greatest hit for me is Stevens’ braised cabbage, which comes together in a good ole 9-by-13 and whose secret ingredient is time—two and a half hours, to be exact, rendering the cabbage ultra-melty and sweet. The dish is great as a side, but I like serving it family-style as the main with the addition of bacon for heft and richness. You can assemble (by that I mean mostly plop and plunk) everything in the baking pan up to two days in advance; simply cover and refrigerate until you’re ready to roll.

Makes: 4–6
Time: 2 hours 35 minutes

Ingredients

  • 8–10 slices thick-cut bacon (12 oz.), coarsely chopped
  • 1 medium head green cabbage (2 lb.), cored and cut into 8 wedges
  • 2 large carrots, trimmed, cut into ¼-in. rounds
  • 1 large yellow onion, thinly sliced
  • ¼ cup apple cider vinegar
  • Kosher salt and freshly ground black pepper
  • 2 Tbsp. unsalted butter
  • Coarsely chopped toasted pecans, for garnish
  • Finely chopped chives, for garnish
  • Grainy mustard, for serving

Instructions

  1. Position a rack in the center of the oven and preheat to 350ºF. In a heavy-bottomed nonreactive roasting pan (see footnote) set over medium heat, fry the bacon, stirring frequently, until deep golden and crisp, 10–14 minutes. Turn off the heat, then, using a slotted spoon, transfer to a small bowl. Discard all but roughly 2 tablespoons of the bacon grease.
  2. In the roasting pan, arrange the cabbage wedges cut-side down beside one another, then scatter the onion and carrot over the top, followed by the reserved bacon. Pour in the vinegar and ¼ cup of water, then season with salt and black pepper. Dot with the butter and cover tightly with foil. Bake for 1 hour, then flip the wedges and continue cooking until the cabbage is very soft, about 1 hour more.
  3. Uncover the pan and turn the oven to 425ºF. Continue baking until the vegetables are browned at the edges, about 18 minutes more. Sprinkle with the pecans and chives and serve warm with mustard on the side.

Note: If you don’t own a large, heavy roasting pan, fry the bacon in a skillet in step 1. At the beginning of step 2, arrange the cabbage in a 9-by-13-inch casserole dish, then drizzle with the reserved bacon grease and proceed with the recipe.

Burmese tea leaf salad
SAVEUR_TheDutchessOjai. Photography by Dylan James Ho

The distinct earthy flavors of this classic Burmese tea leaf salad come from the fermented tea leaves, which are prepared  in-house at the Dutchess in Ojai, California. You can find them pre-made at specialty markets such as Kalustyan’s. A medley of shaved cabbage, seasonal lettuces, and variety of crunchy toppings give the salad its satisfying layers of texture. Chef Saw uses locally sourced Salanova lettuce; if you can’t find it, hydroponically grown butterhead lettuce is a suitable substitute. Naing fries off the crispy shallots and garlic in-house, but if pressed for time, packaged versions of both can be found at your local Asian grocery.

Featured in “At This New SoCal Restaurant, Burmese Dishes Take Local Produce to Another Level” by Diana Yen.

Makes: 6
Time: 50 minutes

Ingredients

  • 6 small shallots (6 oz.), thinly sliced
  • Vegetable oil, for frying
  • 12 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
  • Kosher salt
  • 4 cups thinly sliced Napa cabbage
  • 1 cup chopped Salanova lettuce (or substitute butterhead lettuce)
  • 1 cup cherry tomatoes, halved
  • ½ cup roasted peanuts
  • ¼ cup fresh lemon juice
  • 2 Tbsp. toasted sesame seeds
  • 2 Tbsp. fermented tea leaves
  • 1 tsp. finely chopped fresh bird’s eye or serrano chile
  • ¼ cup chickpea flour
  • Cilantro sprigs, for garnish

Instructions

  1. Make the crispy shallots and garlic: To a medium pot over medium-low heat, add the shallots and enough oil to cover (about 2 cups). Cook, stirring frequently, until the shallots are golden brown, 20–25 minutes. Strain the shallots through a fine mesh sieve into a heatproof bowl, then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate. Transfer the oil back to the pot and return to medium-low heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring frequently, until golden brown, 5–6 minutes. Strain the garlic through the sieve into the same bowl, then transfer to the plate with the shallots. Season to taste with salt, then set aside to cool to room temperature. Reserve the cooking oil.
  2. Assemble the salad: To a large bowl, add the cabbage, lettuce, tomatoes, peanuts, lemon juice, sesame seeds, tea leaves, chile, and 2 tablespoons of the reserved oil. Toss until the greens are coated and the ingredients are evenly distributed. Toss in the chickpea flour and the reserved crispy shallots and garlic, then divide the salad among six bowls. Garnish with the cilantro and serve at room temperature.
