    I like red cabbage, sliced and cooked as most posters above, but with a tablespoon of redcurrant jelly and a glug of balsamic vinegar added to the pan in the last 5 minutes of cooking time.

    Chop some apple in there too, if you have some. Lovely :)
  • We cook red cabbage in value orange juice

    Sometimes, if we are eating white cabbage, I lay slices of apple on top as it is cooking.

  • Depending on what i am having it with, i chop it up into slithers, removing the stem bits and then either boil it until desired crunchy/softness, or i pop it in a frying pan with some chicken stock and essentially steam it :D

    I normally steam it

    However I often make ribollita soup / broth using a Waitrose recipe, main ingredients are cabbage & beans

    I omit the garlic [can't stand it] and bacon

    quick, cheap & easy

    Hi mardatha,

    No need to sigh :D I like it lightly steamed then tossed in butter and baked in the oven with crispy bacon.

    There are lots more ideas on this thread:

    Cabbage

    I'll add your post to that one later to keep the suggestions together.
