What to do with a head of cabbage?

LondonEliza

A few things come to mind:

Fry it up in 10g of real butter on a low heat with a few pieces of bacon

Cook it up with a sauspan of potatoes, mash together with semi milk, salt, pepper and real butter

Steam it until soft, oven bake a tray of your fave veg and blend the lot together for an awesome winter soup

BerryH

Chop finely and fry with a little oil, crushed garlic and chilli flakes. Season with salt and pepper.

Or make bubble and squeak - fry it up with leftover mashed potatoes and onions.

Paleo rice or make Sauerkraut - lacto fermented is nicest (alot easier to make than you would think and its tastes fantastic)..

I have become a fan of the local farmer's market and am trying to expand my, and my family's, fruit and vegetable palates. I went a bit crazy and bought without a plan this week and find myself singing the following to the tune of drunken sailor:

What do I do with a head of cabbage
What do I do with a head of cabbage
What do I do with a head of cabbage
Cause I don't want to waste money

Hahaha I did the same thing this week :P Yesterday I finally chopped mine up in the food processor and made a nice crunchy slaw with an oil and vinegar vinaigrette. It'll make a good side dish for lunches and dinners for the rest of the week

Since St.Patricks is coming up try Colcannon. Make up a nice big bowl of mashed potatoes however you usually like them. Rough chop cabbage and boil till tender, then drain. Also pan fry a protein till nicely browned. I like to make it with ground turkey. Traditionally its made with ham or bacon. Then mix em all together. I like to layer them. Sometimes I add fresh corn. Also kale and mustartd greens are other great veggies for this.

I take the cabbage and cut it up, wash it really well, put a tiny bit of olive oil or veggie oil in the bottom of the pot, drop cabbage in and let cook. I don't add water because the water from washing it will be sufficient. I also us a pack of goya ham seasoning to get that taste of seasoning meat without the fatty meat.

And i don't cook it til mushy, I like it a little more firm. I always put pepper sauce on mine soooooo good.

Head of cabbage
1 Onion (red, yellow, white, sweet.. your choice)
red, yellow, and/or green peppers
2 pounds of smoked sausage
1 can of chicken broth
Potatoes (as many as you would like-- or none if you are low carb like me)


In a baking dish, layer with chopped cabbage on the bottom, then sliced onions and peppers, then sliced potatoes, and slice the sausage and put it on the top. Cover with teh chicken broth (no added water). Put in the oven at 450 and it takes about
1-1/2 hours if you use potatoes and about 45 minutes to an hour without.

This is an amazingly flavorful one-dish meal. I found this recipe on Pinterest and tried it. This quickly became my families favorite.. even my most finicky child loves it.

For low carb, low cal soup

shred cabbage up
add 2lbs chicken
onion
turnip
32-40 oz of chicken broth
season with thyme, crushed red pepper flakes
garlic powder, 2 bay leaves, salt, pepper

boil chicken, put all together but cabbage in to cook because the turnip and onion takes longer to cook,
add cabbage add in and let cook down. Taste great.
