    I make red cabbage coleslaw- I think it's nicer than regular. I chop a red onion and shred the cabbage and add full fat mayo (about 3 tbsp), and wholegrain mustard (about 1 tbsp) and mix through.

    My fave red cabbage recipe is braised red cabbage, but is so high in carbs (due to the fruit, wine, sugar etc....) but I have made a lower carb version and it came out very nice.

    1/2 shredded red cabbage
    1 glass red wine
    1/2 grated apple
    2 tbsp red wine vinegar
    2 tsp splenda
    1/2 tsp cinnamon
    1 glass water

    simmer on a low heat for at least 30 mins until very soft & sticky. Serve with sausages, roast dinners and baked gammon.

    Cabbage is very versatile and a staple in my house.

    Sautee in butter
    Sautee in butter and add kielbasa
    Put in soups and stews
    Use in casseroles

    It's really endless what you can do with it.

    This goes on a great chai-tea-spiced pork tenderloin!

    Sautee shredded red cabbage, savoy cabbage, thin strips of onion and julienne granny-smith apple with a splash of white vinegar, garlic, sea salt, black pepper and (wait for it...............)nutmeg and cinnamon.... just a light dusting.

    Cook until al-dente. You dont need alot of this but a nice garnish on top of the pork... OH MY GAWD - so good!

    Yum, these all sound great! We do an Asian slaw pretty often..shredded cabbage, chopped green onions, sliced almonds, toasted sesame seeds. For the dressing we do an oil based one with a bit of sweetener and soy sauce, dark sesame oil, rice wine vinegar and maybe some red pepper flakes.

    I do my lazyman cabbage roll lasagna with cole slaw or diced up red cabbage.

    Substitute the cole slaw/red cabbage for noodles-very good and filling

    One of my favorite throw-together recipes:

    It's in the MFP database as Sarah's Cabbage Skillet

    Head cabbage, shredded
    2 lb ground sirloin
    8-12 oz. Deluxe American cheese (must be deluxe, not "cheese food")
    1 large jar salsa or 2 cans tomatoes with diced green chilies
    salt and pepper to taste
