Calling all cabbage lovers......

I love cabbage, but the only way I've ever had it and the only way I know how to cook it is boiled with potatoes and carrots and loaded with salt. It tastes soo good, but puts me way over on sodium.

Thats how i like it but with a sprinkle of salt. and some gravy (50g=13 calories)

I have cabbage in the fridge that I forgot about - time to use it! Thanks for the reminder!

Not sure about the stuff about gas meaning you need detoxification - but cabbage is delicious, my favourite is primo, the crinkly green one. Very filling too.

I love it served with almonds and garlic, I've found a recipe below that's sort of how I do it, though I don't use butter and only a tiny bit of olive oil to fry the garlic, and I also add a small piece of onion.

EDITED TO ADD: I haven't had cabbage since changing my diet, I really should get some.

They have this thick leaved taiwanese cabbage ( its huge and flat) where i live and it is soo good caramelized wwith onions. Not bitter at all and you can cook it with no oil. Best of all, one head will make 5 servings

My favorite is to make it Indian-style (how I grew up cooking it)

Shred it, cook some prawns in some chili powder, tumeric, corriander, and cumin powders with some onions, garlic, white lentils and mustard seeds, then add the cabbage and some water so it gets boiled and serve with some basmati rice. Mmm that's definitely dinner tonight, and maybe tomorrow.

I just had cabbage last night..........

Quick and easy meal:

1 head of cabbage, sliced into thin strips
1 pound beef smoked sausage, sliced into bite size chunks ( i got some from our local meat market that was farmer made)
quarter cup chicken broth
olive oil or bacon grease ( i prefer the bacon grease)

Heat oven to 350

grease the bottom of pan with a small amount of the olive oil or grease
throw in cabbage
throw sliced sausage in on top
sprinkle with a bit of sea salt and black pepper
pour in chicken broth.

Cover and place in oven for about 40 minutes. Take lid off and leave in oven for 10 more minutes to brown everything just a bit.
