Does anyone have any cabbage ideas/recipes. I love cabbage, but am getting bored eating it the same way all the time (sauteed in a pan with a bit of butter).
Thanks in advance :)

    I boil/steam it with a can of Ro-tel (diced tomatoes and green chilies). Really good esp if you like spicy.

    Brown some ground turkey with salt and pepper, add the shredded cabbage to it and you have a meal in a pan.

    Buy some egg roll wrappers and make your own egg rolls.

    + 1 on the veggie broth...plus I add in carrots, garlic, onions, potatoes, whatever veggies are around... yummy soup for fall! I'm making some this week.

    Alicia Silverstone's Tempeh Tacos are awesome ...http://www.thekindlife.com/post/yummy-tempeh-tacos.

    Raw with veggie dip or hummus.

    Stirfry with veggies.

    Raw in chinese salad.

    I like to stir fry my cabbage with white beans, zucchini, onion and crush garlic. I use peanut oil or sesame seed oil then I season it with ms. dash and pepper.

    The beans do a great job of giving the dish a protein boost. My family loves it as well. I hope you try it and love it too.

    Ethiopian cabbage dish from All Recipes: http://allrecipes.com/recipe/ethiopian-cabbage-dish/detail.aspx Made this a while ago and it was pretty good! (just use less oil and potatoes to make it healthier)

    Try mixing it by using differnt things to sautee it in. For instance, instead of butter try Wok-Oil by house of Tsang (It's found in the asian section of the gorcery store near the sot sauce and terriyaki sauce.

    Also try an olive oil that is fused with trufle oil. To minimize the amount of oils used, add vegetable or chicken broth to the sautee. I also like to add italian seasoning, garlic and onion and green or red peppers. Yum.

    Sweet red cabbage

    Red cabbage - quartered and core taken out, then chopped
    1/2 onion, chopped
    1 apple, chopped
    2T brown sugar
    1/4 cup raspberry red wine vinegar
    1/4 cup vegi broth


    Put all in large pan, cover and cook on medium/medium low for about 45 minutes, stirring occasionally. Make sure there is always a little juice on the bottom of the pan so it doesn't burn. You can add a little water if needed.

    At about 40 minutes, add some chopped nuts - I like walnuts.

    Enjoy.



    Another use - use steamed green cabbage leaves as a substitute for the noodles in a lasagne. Like a cabbage roll casserole kind of thing.

    I like to cut it into bite size wedges and roast it in the oven with olive oil, salt, and pepper. Or shred it and mix it with lime juice, a little olive oil, a pinch of salt and sugar, and shredded carrot. You could also throw in raisins and crushed pineapple.
