i did some the year before last, tasted great, but is now tasting a bit odd...... i think i expected it to last too long - what shelf life should i expect?

my mum came back from a recent shopping trip with a massive red cabbage for me - really random!!

What can I do with it. Preferably to freeze as I am on my own for a few days

thanks

I shred the cabbage and mix it with a couple of grated apples, a finely chopped large red onion, half a tsp cinnamon, half a tsp of nutmeg, tsp salt, bit of pepper, 2 tbs brown sugar and 3tbs white wine vinegar along with about half a cup of water. I then braise it in a covered casserole dish for about an hour and a half in a 180 oven, stirring occasionally. It freezes beautifully and is lovely with stews and hotpots.

That depends on how long it's been sitting in the supermarket for, though. I always put veg in the fridge. Red cabbage makes very nice coleslaw and sauerkraut.

Hi mennie,

There are some good ideas for cooking red cabbage on this older thread:

Or you could pickle it: Pickled red cabbage

Hello everyone,

Can anyone give me any ideas what to do with red cabbage?

It is not a vegetable I would normally buy,but I had some in my organic veg box last week.
I have seen a few recipes for braised cabbage which sound quite nice,but it is usually suggested as an accompaniment to beef stew or some sort of meat and I am vegetarian,so I can't think of what to serve with it.

I suppose I could do veggie sausages with it,unless anyone has a better idea.

By the way,thanks to Gingham Ribbon for her great vegetarian meal planner.I am fairly new to vegetarianism and I have found some great recipes on here.
