what to do with cabbage?
 

Our weekly CSA haul left us with a big thing of cabbage. What the hell am I going to do with this thing? Any ideas?

Make cole slaw?

Use it in fish tacos?

I have a hell of a lot more cabbage to use than as a garnish my man!

Cook lots of yummy, incredible food!!!

Make halupki (stuffed cabbage). You can form them into rolls and then freeze them. To cook them, you can simply toss them in the crock pot, cover with tomato sauce or tomato soup, and heat all day on low.

Make halushki (cabbage and noodles). That, I wouldn't exactly recommend freezing and reheating, but then again, in my house, it wouldn't make it to the freezer. :D

Brilliant! I will try this.

Kimchi? Do you have a place to bury it?

Not legally.

Julienne, fry with butter, season with salt, pepper and paprika, toss in cooked egg noodles.

I was taught this dish by an older relative who told me it was all his family could afford in the depression. I make it because it's tasty, filling and reminds me of him.

You can find recipes online, although I usually just use equal parts ground pork and ground beef, and mix it together with white rice, salt, pepper, an egg or two, and a diced onion. Boil water, and place the cabbage leaves in the water for a bit, not until they're cooked, but pliable, so you can roll them easily, and so they'll separate from the head of cabbage easily. It helps if you cut the core out of the cabbage.

Make something resembling a mini meatloaf on top of each leaf, and then roll the leaf around it. Place into a container with the leaf edges facing down.
That's something similar to halushki, except you need some onion in there too, and no paprika. :)

Cool, and then cover with some kind of tomato sauce? Cook on low for awhile? Might be a good slow-cooker recipe.

You don't have to allow them to cool. The meat should be uncooked when you roll them. Yes, you'll cover them with tomato sauce, or some people use tomato soup. It is a great slow-cooker recipe, and that's how I usually cook mine. Otherwise, you'll want to bake them in the oven, but the slow cooker is far better.

Ask HIDDY.

Let set in refrigerator overnight.

Throw away.

I saw this title and immediately thought of the Queen. Apparently, the Duke of Edinburgh's nickname for his wife is "Cabbage". :D

I'm afraid I can only do two things with it. Steam it and eat it....then if there are any leftovers mix it with mashed potato, form into cakes and fry it.

The wife makes nice coleslaw with cabbage. I suppose you could make loads of sauerkraut.
