Very simple cabbage slaw recipe - shred some, using a mandoline slicer or similar, shred a little raw onion. Grate a little apple too if you like. Combine all together with a bit of salt and loads of lemon juice. A very refreshing salady thing to serve with burgers, steaks, cold meats etc.

this is a fav of mine, just adjust amounts for one person and adapt to use what spices you do have

I love this recipe when there's a glut of cabbage and I need a side dish: http://3hungrytummies.blogspot.co.uk/2013/08/punjabi-spiced-cabbage.html

Thanks, everyone. There's some great ideas here, not least freezing cabbage, which I didn't know you could do - slightly frustrating now I think of the number of part-cabbages I've had to throw out when I could have frozen them!

Not sure about anybody else but I always blanch my cabbage before freezing.
Got some to do today.
Popped into Tesco last night and they'd got cabbages reduced to 5p so I bought a couple.

Delia Smiths braised red cabbage with apples. Not tried it with white cabbage before, but I would. Google 'Delia red' and it will come up. It uses 2lb cabbage, 1lb onions and 1lb cooking apples and makes about 10- 15 portions, freezes well. I made some at the weekend, and have been putting handfuls of it in my HM turkey stock for a quick cabbage soup. It doesn't seem to have any unpleasant side effects either. I usually make it when I find the cabbage or the apples reduced. Grating the peeled apple into the mix is easier than chopping.
