What do you think it means to crave cabbage ? I’m not pregnant .

I love cabbage (and sprouts!).
My fave way with cabbage just now is using the leaves instead of vine leaves for dolmas/dolmades. I stuff the blanched leaves with rice and minced meat, barely cover them with stock and cook until tender. Yum.

How do you steam fry cabbage?

I'm not keen on cabbage, except for red cabbage stewed with vinegar sugar apples and raisins.
Has anyone ever made sauerkraut? That's supposed to be tasty.

Bubble and Squeak is a good standby in the freezer. I make small tupper boxes of it for my solitary indulgence.

I put a veg OXO and butter in the mix, and usually some fried onion and of course have it with a blob of tomato ketchup.

I love any cabbage,spring is my favourite the darker green the better we are lucky to have some good local farms nearby and can get them straight out of the ground.
We enjoy cabbage mixed with leeks and lashing of butter,I could eat a plate just on it's own,do you remember when our mums had you drinking the cabbage water when she had finished cooking the Sunday dinner ?

just give in to the cravings - can't do any harm, for sure,

I love brassicas in all their many manifestations, without doubt my favourite vegetables.

I would eat them at every meal given a chance.
