Cabbage

Fruball

My MrT christmas shopping has arrived :j

The only thing that was substituted was a red cabbage and they have given me a white one instead

I was going to do braised red cabbage with redcurrant but not sure if it would work with the white cabbage... It would be pink... Not sure if I want pink food on my Christmas dinner plate :rotfl:

So does anyone have any great ideas of something interesting I can do with my white cabbage, other than coleslaw on boxing day

I have found loads of suggestions for white cabbage recipes and it would appear it is ideal for Christmas. I would link to certain recipes but ideally put "recipes for white cabbage" in your search engine...they say that it is a sweet tasting vegetable. So you may find it works better than the original idea...good luck!

Yuk No wouldnt fancy pink on my Christmas dinner, it will work with onion, mushrooms and cream though

my nan used to cook the white cabbage in boiling water like normal cabbage, but once drained, chop it roughly with a knife and add butter and season with salt n pepper. you could add chestnuts or cranberries to it.

That sounds about right scaredy_cat. Even I am learning some new ideas and something like cabbage can do such a lot. And depending on what it is mixed with so many different combinations.

Fried onions, white cabbage and lardons with a bit of salt and pepper.

I wouldnt put this with christmas dinner - but blanched white cabbage stir fried with onions garlic and ginger is absolutely gorgeous
for christmas dinner I would cook it until just tender, drain, add butter and pepper and heat until the butter has melted. then serve.

This gets my vote, it's always a hit when served up in our house.

Tastes even better if done with steamed savoy cabbage, then quickly added to the fried onion and lardons/streaky bacon for a minute in a wok with the salt and pepper at the end. Yum yum, am starving now off to look in kitchen.

Please help! I've got 2 cabbages here, a savoy one and a chinese one and I have no idea what to make with them! I normally just boil cabbage and have with a sunday roast but the kids won't eat it. Is there anything else you can actually do with cabbage that the kids might be tempted to actually eat?
