The Cabbage Repertoire
Boiling Cabbage is a common way to cook it, but be careful not to overdo it! Just boil it for a few minutes in salted water. Then, you can make it tasty by adding butter, salt, and pepper, or giving it a zing with some lemon and olive oil. It’s an easy and quick side dish.
In Stews, Curries & Soups cabbage effortlessly softens in any liquid and complements the sweet winter roots. A beloved dish is the Beetroot and Cabbage Borscht, where all the roots are sautéed before introducing the cabbage to preserve its crunchiness. Another tasty option is the Leek and Parsnip Soup featuring a separate cabbage and mushroom stir-fry garnish, enhancing the flavour and texture of the blended soup. We also love Cabbage, Mushroom and Chickpea Curry and Smoky Cabbage Stew.
Roasting Cabbage is easy, with minimal preparation required.No shredding, no stirring and yet you have a perfect side dish to accompany anything in around 25 minutes. This particularly suits varieties with tender leaves like sweetheart or Chinese cabbage. We love Sichuan and Sesame Roasted Cabbage as well as Roasted Cabbage with Walnuts and Parmesan, or keep it simple with salt and pepper.
Stir-Fry Cabbage is another favourite cooking method. Tender types like Sweetheart require minimal cooking, while white and red cabbage take roughly 15 minutes (add a splash of water if needed). Enhance the stir fry with onions, leeks, garlic, and mushrooms, and for a full meal, add beans, pasta, or noodles.
Stuffed Cabbage Leaves can make the most of big cabbage leaves from varieties such as January King or Savoy. Boil the leaves first to make folding easier, and try mixing grains, beans, and veggies for a unique dish. Here’s an easy recipe for Vegetarian Stuffed Cabbage Leaves.
