    I love cabbage. My current favorite is to saute a thinly sliced onion, three slivered toes of garlic in a little olive oil. Add shredded cabbage, about 1/4 C of water, and salt & pepper to taste. Don't cook very long (so cabbage is still sweet).

    Serve over stewed lentils & potatoes, or on its own.

    Making this for dinner tonight

    Recipe name Russian Cabbage Soup
    Number of servings 8

    Ingredients
    Parsnips - Raw, 1.5 cup slices 150
    Fresh Produce - Sweet Potato-Baked With Skin, 5 oz
    Cabbage - Savoy, raw, 800 g
    Potatoes - Red, flesh and skin 3 potato medium
    Turnips - Raw, 3 small
    Carrots - Raw, 2 large (7-1/4" to 8-1/2" long)
    Generic - Yellow Onion, 1 cup
    Trader Joe's - Low Sodium Vegetable Broth, 8 cup
    Garlic , 3 raw clove (crushed)
    Hunt's Diced Tomatoes - No Salt Added Basil, Oregano, Garlic, 1 container (1 4/5 c.s ea.)
    Olive Oil - Extra Virgin, 1 tbsp
    Spice Islands - Mediterranean Sea Salt, 1/4 tsp

    Shred the Cabbage with a knife and slice all vegetables into 1/8 inch slices ( I used a mandolin for consistency). Sweat Onion and carrot in a large soup pot on medium heat with 1 tbs olive oil until the onions are translucent. Add the remaining vegetables(except for the cabbage) and the garlic to the pot and on medium heat sweat the vegetables for about 10 minutes. At this point add 4 cups of the vegetable broth, sea salt and seasonings to taste(I used Trader Joe's 21 Seasoning Salute) and the shredded cabbage. Place lid on the pot until the cabbage has wilted slightly. Add the remaining broth and the can of diced tomatoes and bring to a boil. Lower heat and simmer until vegetables are completely tender and all the flavors have married. Generally about 30-40 minutes. For a little added zip, add a tablespoon or two of white wine vinegar to the broth.
    This makes about 8 generous servings

    I don't really have a name for this, it's just something I came up with by throwing things in a pot and I am now addicted to it! I've made it twice in the last week lol.

    1 lb extra lean turkey burger
    1 red pepper
    about a cup of mushrooms
    1 small onion
    1 head of cabbage
    1 tbsp minced garlic
    seasonings (I usually add a little paprika, salt, pepper and red pepper flakes)
    1 small can of low sodium tomato soup plus half of the can of water

    Sautee veggies (except cabbage) until they're cooked
    Add turkey burger and seasonings until cooked through
    Add the sliced cabbage and cook until it's cooked through.
    Add the tomato soup and water and stir until heated through.

    I sometimes cut up 1-2 med. potatoes and cook in the microwave quick and then throw them in, depending on how many calories I have left for the day.

    Spicy Cabbage

    1 head of cabbage
    1 Large sweet onion
    1 Large jalapeno
    3 cloves of garlic
    Texas Pete hot sauce to taste
    2 tb olive oil
    Toney’s Creole seasoning to taste
    Salt pepper to taste
    .
    Heat up a large pan with the olive oil. Chop up the cabbage slice the onion, slice the jalapeño (with the seeds or with out depends on how hot you want it) and chop up your garlic

    After your pan is hot layer you items in the pan with the cabbage, onion, pepper and the garlic. Also add some seasoning hot sauce and s/p on each layer.

    Cook on medium to low heat until soft. (I cook it covered and until the cabbage is almost burnt) If you like it spicy you can add more hot sauce to the dish.

    Not sure how many calories this has but it can't have very many

    Had sautéed cabbage tonight! But that's nothing to post about here... Perhaps I'll post my warm cabbage, roasted squash and black bean salad recipe. I'm not sure I'll have time to make anything new before Sat :frown: I've really been slacking on these challenges!

    Don't know if this counts as a "recipe", but I gotta tell you - when I know I'm in for an evening of "wanting to eat everything in sight"... I make this and pig out on it! Only when I'm staying home of course, 'cause I can eat a huge plate of yummy cabbage which, well, you know, can make you a little "musical"... Ha ha ha!

    Anyway, here's what I do - guess I'd call it Super Easy Oven Roasted Cabbage:

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

    Take 1 head of cabbage, wash the outside. DO NOT CORE. Slice in half, then slice each half into 4 wedges, so you have 8 wedges total.

    Place wedges on a cooking tray, drizzle with olive oil. Personally, I don't add salt to anything, and I don't like the taste of pepper, so I leave it with just olive oil. However, you can "salt and pepper to taste" at this point if you want.

    If I have them, I also will "wedge" some purple onion, and cut some red/yellow/orange bell peppers into big chunks, and put those on the tray as well, drizzled with a bit of the olive oil as well.

    Place tray in oven for 12-15 minutes. Remove from oven, flip the cabbage wedges and stir onions/peppers as needed, then return to the oven for another 8-10 mins.

    Remove from oven and let sit for a couple minutes. Then cut out the core parts as needed - when I do this, some of the core parts actually are soft enough to eat, I just cut out the parts that I can't eat. I then stir the whole mix together - cabbage, onions, peppers - and go to town!

    Sorry I don't have any pics but will try to post some next time I make this - maybe tonight!

    :drinker:

    1 or 2 purple or yellow onions
    Bell Peppers of choice
    Garlic - if desired
    Olive oil

    3258136_4007_thumb.jpg

    Preheat oven to 425 degrees.

    Take 1 head of cabbage, wash the outside. DO NOT CORE. Slice in half, then slice each half into 4 wedges, so you have 8 wedges total.

    Place wedges on a cooking tray.

    If desired, prepare purple or yellow onions, also cut into "wedges" .

    If desired, cut red/yellow/orange bell peppers into large chunks.

    If desired, add whole garlic cloves, or crushed garlic to the cooking sheet.

    Drizzle all with olive oil.

    3258136_4574_thumb.jpg

    Place tray in oven for 12 minutes. Remove from oven, flip the cabbage wedges and stir onions/peppers as needed, then return to the oven for another 8 mins.

    Remove from oven and let sit for a couple minutes. Then cut out the core pieces - they are very tender!

    3258136_8431_thumb.jpg

    I then stir the whole mix together - cabbage, onions, peppers - DELICIOUS!
