Cabbage Recipes

Cabbage recipes are in fairly short supply in most recipe books, which is a shame because it's a very versatile vegetable and delicious when properly cooked. Help yourself to any of the tried and trusted recipies below, where cabbage is the main ingredient.

• Barbecued Cabbage
  
  Barbecued cabbage is an ideal dish when you are having a cook-out because it's such a simple and trouble free recipe. It's really a casserole of sorts and you need a kettle barbecue to cook it, or at least one with a hood
• Bok Choi
  
  Bok Choi is a type of Chinese cabbage and is often sold in supermarkets in a bunch of 3-4 plants. It cooks quickly and easily in a steamer or wok
• Braised Cabbage
  
  This is a similar recipe to the cabbage casserole that is also in this section, but if anything it’s much easier to do and only requires one pot
• Braised Red Cabbage
  
  Red cabbage is a great accompaniment to pork, spicy stews and game dishes such as venison and wild boar. It’s also delicious with kangaroo, but don’t tell Skippy I said that…..
• Cabbage and Potato Salad
  
  Cabbage is often used in salads but is usually served cold. This is a hot salad and the addition of potato and cheese makes it substantial enough for a family meal.
• Cabbage Casserole
  
  The idea of cabbage in a casserole may seem a little strange, but I promise you this is one of those hearty family meals that takes the sting out of a cold winter’s night
• Cabbage With Fennel
  
  Cabbage is an excellent source of vitamins and minerals, although these tend to be left in the cooking liquid if boiled for too long. It’s therefore important to shred the cabbage and cook it for as little time as possible
• Cabbage Soup Diet
  
  The now famous cabbage soup diet is based on the premise that you can eat as much cabbage soup as you like, plus a few other recommended food items, and you will rapidly lose weight over a seven day period
• Cabbage With Juniper
  
  I once tried cooking cabbage in gin. It almost worked but using alcohol seemed pointless when the real flavor came from the juniper berries used to make the gin. So here’s the sober version
• Cabbage With Lemon
  
  Cabbage works surprisingly well with slightly acidic flavors – sauerkraut is an excellent example – and is simple to prepare and cook. Here I’ve added a lemon sauce
• Cabbage With Saffron
  
  The addition of saffron lifts this cabbage dish into the realms of gourmet and makes it special enough to be served at a dinner party for friends or business colleagues
• Coleslaw
  
  There are any number of recipies for coleslaw and the ingredients used include horseradish, bell peppers, apple and even mixed fruit such as grapes and pineapple. This is the basic recipe.
• Dublin Coddle
  
  There are almost as many recipes for Dublin coddle as there are cooks in Ireland. But the theme remains the same in each case, revolving round the three main ingredients of cabbage, meat and potatoes
• Five-Spice Cabbage
  
  Five-spice used to be one of the dominating flavors in westernized Chinese restaurants, along with MSG. Thankfully that has changed, but it still works well with cabbage of all kinds
• Fried Cabbage With Bacon
  
  I think the Irish started it, adding bacon to cabbage, and it works so well that I have no hesitation in adding yet another variation of this recipe to the collection
• Garlic Cabbage
  
  Cabbage cooked with garlic may not seem an obvious choice, but if butter is used the resulting dish makes an excellent accompaniment to chicken
• Hail Mary Greens
  
  This way of cooking cabbage gets the name Hail Mary Greens from an Irish grandmother's method of measuring the time it takes to cook it

  Far too many cooks approach red cabbage as if it were a species from another planet requiring special attention. In fact you can treat it just like 'ordinary' cabbage

  Red cabbage mixes very well with fruit of all kinds and is versatile enough to be served with dishes ranging from fish to pork.
• Sauerkraut
  
  Sauerkraut, called choucroute in France, is one of those dishes found in most north and north eastern European countries. This is my quick and easy recipe
• Spicy Cabbage Soup
  
  You can make this easy and nourishing soup using any variety of cabbage, but I prefer to use a Savoy which gives a greater variety of color, from creamy white through to dark green
• Spring Greens
  
  Spring greens are quick and easy to cook, requiring very little effort and practically no time at all. They are a great source of nutrients and in particular betacarotene
