What to do with cabbage?

Slaw is good. I like to saute it in olive oil with hot pepper rings. It's good in stir fry.

not low fat but delicious and worth exercising to eat:

Farfalle with Savoy cabbage, pancetta, thyme and mozzarella from Jamie Oliver's book "The Return of the Naked Chef" - serves 4.

10 rashers of pancetta or dry-cured streaky bacon, thinly sliced
olive oil
1 clove of garlic, finely chopped
1 good handful of thyme, leaves picked
1 large Savoy cabbage (outer leaves removed) quartered, cored and finely sliced
1 handful of grated Parmesan cheese
455gr/1 lb dried farfalle, the best you can get
salt and freshly ground black pepper
extra virgin olive oil
200gr / 7oz buffalo mozzarella, cut into 1cm / 1/2 inch dice
2 handfuls of pine nuts, lighly toasted

In a pan fry your pancetta in a little olive oil until lightly golden. Add the garlic and thyme and soften. Add the Savoy cabbage and Parmesan, then stir and put the lid on the pan. Cook for a further 5 minutes, shaking every now and again, while you cook your farfalle in salted boiling water until al dente. When the cabbage is nice and tender, season and loosen with some nice peppery extra virgin olive oil. Toss the drained farfalle into the cabbage and at the last minute mix in the mozzarella and pine nuts. Serve immediately.

Ah!!! I JUST got an email from PCRM (Physicians Committed to Responsible Medicine) about a recipe for cabbage.

Add it into an asian soup!

What I do:

Get a soup pot and throw in: frozen pre-cooked brown rice, frozen bell peppers and onions, cabbage, frozen broccoli, a little soy sauce with equal parts asian salad dressing (I think I use Newman's), stir all together and add chicken broth. The chicken broth can be just a little or a lot depending on how you like your soup. Sprinkle with green onion. Easy as pie.

Use it in place of taco shells, or to make teriyaki chicken wraps! Nummers
