    Shredded and sauted with garlic and vidalia onion in a splash of olive oil until everything is a little caramalized.

    I've taken to shredding it with little strips of broccoli and carrots (and sometimes a little cauliflower), then toss it with a little olive oil, sea salt, and pepper. It makes a nice little side dish. I never really liked cabbage before, but if it's shredded you can also hide it in other stuff, even your salad.

    You could also make "Lettuce wraps" using cabbage. Stuff the cabbage leaves with your favorite meat (You could use shredded chicken/fajita meat or taco meat, etc.)

    To this, I add beef kielbasa. Tastes soooo good, and 287 calories per serving.

    This is more of a main dish: I use grass fed beef
    1/2 lb of ground beef
    Left over cooked brown rice
    tomatoes, cherry, or a few chopped up, can use canned if you don't have fresh
    1/2 head of cabbage shredded or more if you want
    chopped garlic cloves-
    brown beef and garlic together, Add cabbage and tomatoes, cover skillet and simmer until cabbage is soft. Add rice. Season to taste with salt and pepper ( I also season with Spike, all natural seasoning).
    Wicked good and lo-cal.

    This is low calorie and I think delicious: http://www.eatingwell.com/recipes/asian_slaw_with_tofu_shiitake_mushrooms.html
    You don't have to use shiitake--even the cheaper mushroom types will work, and I didn't bother with the wasabi--just used a bit of horseradish instead. Oh, and instead of soy sauce I used worcestershire because it has less sodium and calories. Don't worry about 'silken' tofu, any extra firm tofu will do just fine.

    Ive made this beef and cabbage bake but I can not find the recipe. It is like a lasagna. Boil a shredded head of cabbage. Then brown a lb hamburger, onion, garlic and green pepper if you like. Then add a can of diced tomatoes and tomatoe sauce. Or you can just add a can of spaghetti sauce then layer cabbage and beef mixture 3 times. Add mozerella cheese on top. It is so good!

    Love cabbage. You could try it with fennel seed. I steam the cabbage then saute about half a tsp of fennel seeds in a Tbsp of olive oil. Then toss the cabbage in the oil.

    I do something similar in the crock pot using ground turkey and add crushed tomatoes. It's kind of like an un-stuffed cabbage or halushki. Delicious. Hmmmm....i may make some tomorrow...

    I do this too, add a little shredded carrot and it is very filling and yummy for low calories!
