White cabbage

I’m with you there maizie I love the cabbage family of all types but the darker green the better for me.

I am trying to grow my own, but definitely in between at the moment.

That's the problem when it's just two of you. A whole white cabbage, prepare it however you may, takes a long time to work through.

Lots of lovely ideas here, though I'd do it with a savoy type. I think white cabbage is boring

Sorry Too late I’m afraid , it has whizzed its way with other stuff to the community kitchen.

I’m busy working on the one that is left. So heavy!!

Talking of cabbage, I’d never thought of it as an Asian thing at all, until dh was based in Indonesia for a year and I first joined him for a week.

We went on a trip to Mount Bromo (mountain with volcano at the top) and once we’d climbed high enough to be out of the rice paddy zone, the green slopes were covered with very neat, diagonally shaped little fields - all full of cabbages! Millions of them.
Something of an eye opener for me.
But any recipe you see here for e.g. a stir-fry, never mentions cabbage - it’s always more exotic-sounding (often imported) ingredients, such as pak Choi, baby sweet corn, etc.

Needless to say I will often add cabbage to a stir fry, along with anything else I happen to have.

We like cabbage at ours, especially DH who likes it alot. I usually cook it by frying slivers of pork, add chopped onions, then finely chopped, washed and drained cabbage. Sometimes I add some geen/red pepper and mushrooms for extra flavour. Season with salt, pepper, some mustard and tomato puree if you wish.
It makes a great dish and keeps for the second day in the fridge. I also add a small amount of balsamic vinegar on another day which is also very tasty.

Vietnamese Coleslaw (lots of recipes out there).
White cabbage, carrott, red chili, spring onions with a delicious minty low fat dressing.

Mary Berry's warming beef casserole uses celeriac- delicious!

Shred, blanch, fry in oil and add bacon pieces. My grandchildren come up for seconds until it’s finished.

I make the Rick Stein version of Spiced Minced Lamb with Cabbage. It's delicious! Dead easy band uses a whole cabbage (it cooks down).

I first saw it in his Venice to Istanbul TV programme, I think it is originally a Turkish recipe.

Celeriac makes great chips! I bake them in the oven.

Sliced finely, boiled for just a few minutes, knob of butter and a sprinkling of salt. Delicious.

I think it may freeze too if it is a rather large specimen ?

I've frozen finely sliced Savoy cabbage and frozen it - it works in a stir fry if thrown in towards the end.

Lots of good ideas on here.

It was the word 'oddbox' that made me laugh

I’m impressed! So many people who have bowels that can still cope with cabbage.

I’ve discovered a recipe that I love on bbc good food

It’s just delicious, we have it for lunch and you can use white cabbage. I’m eyeing up the one I got in my veg box this week .

As Eloethan above, but add finely sliced garlic (just one pod), curry leaf, (optional) and a pinch cummin powder (i don’t use curry powder) Use hands to mix everything together . Then heat oil, put the cabbage mixture in and stir fry.

Forgot to say, salt and black pepper to taste also.

It's a good accompaniment to curry or spicy lentils.

Slice cabbage very finely.

Slice some onion finely and fry gently until properly cooked.

Add sliced cabbage plus a very small amount of turmeric or curry powder and fry quickly.

I slice mine very fine and mix with finely sliced onion and fry it in butter we love it, you can add very crispy chopped bacon.We also use it in bubble and squeak.

Celeriac grated and mixed with mayonnaise is delicious as a sald. In France it is in all the supermarkets and Delicatessens.

There are lots of recipes online, not just for celeriac remoulade, but also white cabbage.

I'm with Annsixty finely slice white cabbage. Cook in a little water, lid on the pan. Drain, add a little butter and seasoning. Delicious.

Shred, steam and serve with a knob of butter and black pepper.
