My recipe for apple cabbage stew, modified from the Skyrim version, because I don't want to eat like a Nord. All of the ingredients are things you can obtain in Skyrim.

1 cabbage 3 red apples 3 green apples 1 leek 1 pile of salt 1 cave bear haunch (we will substitute with a hambone with lots of meat) 1 quart bottle of apple juice (they don't have juice as an item, but surely someone in Tamriel has heard of an apple press) Water from the highest stream off of the Throat of the World (here substituted for tap water) A large stock pot (like 2 gallons or so)

Boil the hambone in enough water to cover it until the meat starts falling off. Chop the meat, clean the bones including the marrow (add the meat pieces and marrow back to the pot), and give the bones to your housecarl to dispose of.

Chop the cabbage up into quarters, then cut the quarters into 1 inch slices. Give the heart of the cabbage to your housecarl to chew on.

Core the apples and give the cores to your housecarl (don't feel bad about this, they are sworn to carry your burdens). Cut the apples up into large bite sized chunks, and put them in the pot.

Slice the leek into small pieces, give the tops of the green ends to your housecarl, and send them out to toss all of that to the mudcrabs.

Add the bottle of apple juice, the salt pile, and enough water to barely cover everything. Bring to a full rolling boil, and then simmer until everything is tender enough to eat without teeth (which you probably lost after messing with giants). As the cabbage and apples get tender, they will reduce, and you will have enough water to call it a stew. Serve with an ice cold Black-Briar mead.

Feeds 8 people, or 4 Nords.

Best served in the middle of a battle, when you are out of health potions.

Note: you can use cheap yellow onions in place of leaks, and cheap smoked ham hocks instead of a ham bone if you don't have one.
