There must be more to cabbage than coleslaw

tags:

Okay, my wife came home from the farmer’s market with a big and beautiful head of cabbage. I asked her what she had in mind for it and she said she had no idea. Great! I have no idea what to do with it either. My wife’s is not a fan of mayonnaise so coleslaw is out.

Does anyone have some suggestions on what else I can create with cabbage?

Why not make Rotkohl mit Äpfeln.

Thanks. I can’t pronounce it, but your red cabbage recipe does look appetizing.

cabbage rolls

if it’s a nice loose cabbage, you could try cabbage rolls. Meat or vegetarian filling, a litle tomato juice or stock in the pot to keep them moist, and they cook a little more and ta da!

Also shredded cabbage is the primary filling of egg rolls.

Cabbage rolls. What a great idea. I had a childhood friend whose mother used to make them. I used to invite myself over for dinner. His mother was a better cook than mine. Thanks for the suggestion.

If you have a chance would you mind posting the complete recipe. I can improvise, but I prefer to know how others do it before I begin.

I like cabbage (I am assuming it is green) thinly sliced and sauteed until nice and soft, then tossed with some truffle butter. Mmm…

Re: There must be more to cabbage than coleslaw

oh that truffle butter does sound good. I’m going to pick up some cabbage at the farmer’s market and give it a try.

That truffle butter does sound wonderful. I have never noticed it in the store. Do you have to make your own? We Italians simply steam chopped cabbage, than transfer it to a pan - while still “al dente” and simply add good olive oil and sea salt. That truffle butter does sound very interesting. Thank you.

Truffle butter sounds delish.
