Leftover cabbage.
I had half a head of cabbage I needed to use and didn't want slaw. I rough chopped half of it. Put the other half out for the rabbits. I added one can of diced tomatoes in a pot, added the cabbage, salt, good chicken broth ( I use Zoup Bone Broth) and some grilled onion from last night's burgers. It is very flavorful. My husband came in and said what is that good smell? He said this is delicious even though there is no corn beef. He thinks cabbage should be eaten with corn beef. He said I'll grill some pork steaks to go with it that should be good. Maybe a pan of cornbread too. I just wanted soup. LOL

Sounds yum. Does anyone watch Cooking with Brenda Gantt on Facebook videos? That sounds like a recipe she would make.
|
I love lazy man's cabbage roll casserole. So easy to throw together and perfect for fall weather--and for using up the last of a head of cabbage. (I've even been know to use a bagged coleslaw mix instead--shhhhh)
|
that's what I like about cabbage, if you don't think you can use it fast enough, you can cook it. Can't do that with lettuce (usually). I just fry up an onion and add the shredded cabbage, yum.
|
I freeze mine. Chop, freeze, and use in soups.

Yum, that sounds a lot like the weight loss cabbage soup recipe I used to make in the 90s. That used a package of french onion soup mix instead of chicken broth but otherwise pretty much the same -- I used quite a bit of celery in mine as well.
One of the things I like with leftover or just buying a bag of shredded cabbage is what I call "Mostly Mu Shu". Add a sliced or diced onion, more carrots if you have them, and if you have precooked leftover pork, chicken or shrimp cut that into small strips as well -- or stir fry the meat first with a bit of soy sauce, garlic and ginger. Then throw in the cabbage and vegies and cook them down as well, you might need to add a little liquid (stock, rice vinegar and/or water) or oil. You need a big pan to start with before the cabbage settles down. Just before the end of cooking hit everything with some hoisin sauce. Serve taco style wth preferably thin flour tortillas. You can also have plum (duck) sauce. Is easy to google, here is one recipe similar to how I make itL: https://www.gimmesomeoven.com/moo-shu-pork/ |

Another favourite is Cabbage Cake ... basically shredded cabbage and ground beef mixed with tea biscuit dough and baked in a cake pan. Freezes well, too. Now y'all have me hankering for both! |
I love cabbage any old way your recipe sounds delicious. My husband just made a huge batch of cabbage rolls (can't spell the Polish word for them). We call them gwumpkies but I don't think that's the spelling.
I love cabbage in soups. |
My newest way to prepare cabbage is to cut head into 1/2" slices and place on parchment paper in sheet pan. Brush with olive oil, sprinkle spices, and bake at 400 degrees for 30-40 minutes. When I pull them out of the oven, I put a tab of butter on each slice.

Cabbage is simply versatile. I use it to bulk up a stir fry and love cabbage roll casserole made in my pressure cooker. I'm going to look into cabbage cake - never heard of it.

Another once in awhile cabbage fav for me ..... Inside Out Egg Rolls
|
I made Egg Roll without the Roll. We liked it. Low carb so much easier to make then the rolls.
https://www.melaniecooks.com/egg-roll-in-a-bowl/15435/ Lots of fluff filler on the page so scroll to the bottom for recipe. |
I make a recipe that is very similar to the one linked by Onebyone. We really like it, it's quick and easy. Our preference is ground chicken, but any ground meat works fine.

GingerK ... We must be "two of a kind" as my mind went to both the casserole .... and the sometimes bagged option for simplicity!

Here's another way to use up extra cabbage--make lasagna,substituting layers of cabbage leaves for lasagna noodles. For all you low carb and keto eaters out there, it can fill that pasta craving niche.
|
I have also cut in slices and baked. I used parmesan cheese on mine. I thought they were very good. Leftovers I put in flat containers and froze. A few minutes in the microwave and they were wonderful to add to a meal.

I like to make sauerkraut with left over cabbage, if it's still fresh enough. It's easy. I shred it, pack it in a mason jar, while layering it with some salt. It sits on my counter for about a week. I just burp it every day, so the jar doesn't explode. We eat sauerkraut on everything from sausages, burgers, sammies, salads, you name it. So good!

Farmers Market had miniature cabbages which I chopped up in real small pieces and mixed with chopped butter lettuce then spun both in salad spinner. We’re gorging ourselves on this, adding cherry tomatoes and cucumbers from the garden before Jack Frost ends that fun.
