1/2 small head white cabbage
1/2 cup cream
4 tablespoons butter, divided
1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1 teaspoon grated lemon rind
8 ounces smoked fish (trout, salmon, finnan haddie,
sturgeon, sable), bones removed, broken into small pieces
2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
1/2 lemon, thinly sliced
1. Bring a large pot of lightly salted water to a boil. Quarter
cabbage and remove center core; cut into 1/2" strips.
Cook cabbage 10 minutes. Drain well and pat dry.
2. Melt 2 tablespoons butter in a large saut pan over
medium heat. Add cabbage and cook, 2 minutes; stir
gently to coat in butter. Pour in cream; add black pepper
and lemon rind. Cook 5 minutes, until cabbage is
tender.
3. Add smoked fish to skillet, gently fold in with a rubber
spatula. Cook 3 minutes over low heat. Melt remaining
butter in a small, microwave-safe cup. Drizzle over fish.
Garnish with chopped parsley and lemon slices.
A little too rich and intensely flavored to be an entre, this makes
a wonderful make-ahead first course. The earthy, sweet flavor of
cabbage is balanced with savory smoked fish.
