    I use shredded cabbage as a filler in my stir fries. Then you don't feel like you need rice or noodles with it.

    When I go camping I take some raw cabbage, a little bit of butter, top it with a little salt, some pepper and garlic and onions. Wrap it up in foil and cook it over the fire. For a kitchen translation you could use evvo instead of butter (or whatever sub you want) and you can lightly pan fry it with those ingredients or bake it. I just make it up as I go, but I think the garlic is the key ingredient.

    We are also get our weekly farmer's basket which has included lots of cabbage. I have become a huge fan of soups this winter. Check out this great recipe - there are many others you can try on the internet but we just made this last night and it was yummy! We used my father's vension italian sausage which is supposed to have less fat. You could also use turkey sausage. Happy cooking!

    I sautee it. As a side dish, chopped into narrow strips and combine with onions and carrots, sautee for a few minutes to wilt id, then add a little soy sauce, sriratcha or red pepper flakes, sherry wine and then a drizzle of sesame oil at the end.

    Sometimes I'll do a main dish like above, but sautee some pork loin strips first and then add the veggies.

    We put ours in a pot of hot water and add salt, pepper, garlic powder, chicken stock and light red kidney beans.

    Bring it to a boil. I like to add hamburger for my husband and kids, but I'm fine without it.

    You could make Stuffed Cabbage Leaves, or Haluski (but not the Guy Ferri one), or Atakilt wat.

    Cabbage sauteed with smoked sausages is really good, I made it for lunch and added some honey mustard, also, like many have said, cabbage rolls! Mmm!

    I cooked some tonight: I just put water in a frying pan. Next, I chopped up the cabbage a little and cooked it in the water on medium-high, stirring it all up every couple of minutes. I actually let it 'almost' burn in there, browning it a little. I added a little salt and pepper. Later, I thought I should have added onion, but it still tasted awesome! I just served it as a side dish. Otherwise, I know there is a easy recipe where you brown hamburger, put it in a 9x13 pan, chop up the cabbage (more fine) and put on top, and then add tomato sauce or soup. But I'm not sure on the exact recipe for that. Good luck!

    Make pizza salad. Whenever you buy pizza here in Sweden, you always get this salad, even if you order in. Can be eaten without the pizza=)

    Shred the cabbage as finely as you can into thin slices, blanch it for 1 min, drain it and squeeze out as much liquid as you can. Put it in a bowl, drizzle over a tiny bit of olive oil, some vinegar, add salt and pepper and eat.
