    The Chou Farci at Parcelles: Its anise-and-clove-flavored veal
    broth resembles a Yayoi Kusama painting with all those oil bubbles,
    while the stuffed savoy cabbage it surrounds looks like a gift to be
    unwrapped. Once you cut it open, you may be thrilled to find pistachio
    chips and warm foie gras mixed in with the minced pork, adding
    sophistication to an otherwise homey classic that was historically
    developed from leftovers.

    Title: Chou Vert Farci (Stuffed Cabbage) Part 1
    Categories: Poultry, Vegetables, Herbs, Breads, Wine
    Yield: 11 servings

    3 1/2 lb Firm, unblemished cabbage
    1 tb Butter
    2 c Fine chopped mushrooms
    1 c Fine chopped onion
    1 tb Fine chopped garlic
    1 1/2 Bay leaves, finely minced
    1 1/2 ts Chopped fresh thyme
    +=OR=+
    1/2 ts Dried thyme
    1/2 lb Chicken livers, picked over
    - to remove any tough fibers
    1 lb Ground pork (with a small
    - amount of fat included)
    Salt & fresh ground pepper
    2 lg Eggs; lightly beaten
    1/2 c Fine chopped parsley
    1 c Fine fresh bread crumbs
    1/3 ts Fresh grated nutmeg
    1/3 ts Allspice
    1 1/2 lb Chicken wings
    3/4 lb Pork bones; in 2" pieces
    1/2 c Coarse chopped onion
    1/2 c Coarse chopped carrots
    1/2 c Coarse chopped celery
    1 cl Garlic; whole
    6 Peppercorns
    1/2 c Dry white wine
    2 c Chicken broth
    1/4 c Tomato paste
    1 c Chopped, red, ripe tomatoes
    1 ts Arrowroot or cornstarch
    2 tb Dry white wine

    Set oven @ 375ºF/190ºC

    Using a sharp knife, cut off the stem end of the
    cabbage. Cut out the core of the cabbage.

    Bring a large quantity of water to the boil in a kettle.
    Add the cabbage and cover. Let it boil, turning the
    cabbage so that it cooks evenly all over. As the cabbage
    cooks, separate the leaves at intervals and cook from 10
    to 15 minutes. Drain thoroughly.

    Heat the butter in a skillet and add the mushrooms and
    finely chopped onion. Cook, stirring, until onion is
    wilted and mushrooms have given up their liquid.
    Continue cooking until liquid evaporates. Add the finely
    minced garlic, half a bay leaf and half of the thyme and
    stir.

    Finely chop the livers or puree them in an electric
    blender or food processor. Add the livers and pork to
    the mushroom-and-onion mixture. Cook, stirring, about 30
    seconds. Add salt and pepper to taste.

    Spoon and scrape the mixture into a mixing bowl. Let
    cool briefly. Add the eggs, parsley, bread crumbs,
    nutmeg and allspice. Add salt and pepper to taste and
    blend well.
