Help!!! With Green Cabbage!!!
I bought 2 Bountiful Baskets this week since the kids are out of school for Spring Break. I needed lots of fruits and vegetables. However each basket had 2 large heads of cabbage. What in the world am I going to do with 4 heads of cabbage. Open to ideas :laugh:

The good news is cabbage can sit in your vegetable drawer (or even a cool basement) for a long time--in the old days people would harvest a bunch of it in fall, keep it in the root cellar, and eat it all winter long.
Cut it into wedges, brush it with olive olive oil mixed with lemon juice and roast it at 400 for about 40 minutes. It'll be sweet and tender and golden brown at the edges. Even my husband likes it that way. Don't skimp on the olive oil--cabbage has very few calories on its own and the oil really adds to the yumminess of this dish.
Shred it up and add it to salad or stir-fries.
Stuffed cabbage? (I've never tried it myself and don't know what the calorie count would be.)0 -
Make home made sauerkraut or kimchi? Doubles as a science project for the kids...0

Shred it in food processor with carrots use in coleslaw or mix with a protein like chicken or shrimp in a stir fry. One of my favs is spread some hummus on a large tortilla add a cup of the shred and some cooked chicken and you have very quick wrap for lunch.0

Make batches of cabbage rolls and freeze them.
Make a big pot of cabbage soup and freeze in separate containers. You can add different meat like ground beef or chicken or lentils and curry powder after you take it out for variety if you want.

I make a slaw that is very similar to this (I add sweet bell peppers and carrots) http://www.epicurious.com/recipes/food/views/Spicy-Napa-Cabbage-Slaw-with-Cilantro-Dressing-243168 and serve it with either chipotle chicken or blackbeans. It's a great combo to make ahead for lunches. Just slice your cabbage very thin.0

My mom's Chinese method would be to shred fine, and stir fry with garlic, soy sauce and a tiny pinch of sugar.0

Grate it, add salt and oregano and let it sit about a day.
Afterwards, use it in salads with oil, vinegar and other veggies. Light-years ahead of lettuce. Not sure how well it would work with vinaigrette though.0 -
Not going to bother repeating some of the suggestions above, but another idea when you're to desperate to use it up: shred it and use it in place of recipes typically served over a bed of rice. Essentially turns every meal into a salad, but if you're making Indian or Asian dishes it's a refreshing take on the typical vinaigrette or ranch dressing salad.0

I'm fond of this cabbage roll casserole recipe: way easier than making actual cabbage rolls, delicious, and it freezes well.

I just bought a head today to put in my soups. Chicken broth, cabbage, onions, carrots, celery and herbs. So filling with tons of fiber. And so few calories.0

Make Chinese for dinner! Cok up 1 lb of ground turkey ...set aside. Shred 1 cabbage head and sautee until it shrinks in size. Add back the ground turkey....in a small bowl: mix 1/4 cup of oyster sauce and 3 tbs soy sauce. Add to the sautee.... Then to thicken the sauce, mix 1 cup of water and 1 tbs corn starch...add to the sautee. Cook for a couple more minutes and Voila! Instant chinese. You can serve this over rice or noodles. The family will love it. Enjoy!0
