Red Cabbage Recipes

[EcclesCake]

Any favourites beyond braised, pickled and slaw?

Binned ?

Surely the only way to make cabbage edible is to boil it for a few hours and cover it with gravy ?

Put the shredded cabbage in a dish with some water and white wine, sprinkle with some Chinese 5 spice, a little my brown sugar and bake in the oven, keeping an eye on it not getting too dry (add a bit more water).

I don't think I have ever boiled cabbage.

I recall my Mother chopping cabbage and then boiling it for a bit longer than necessary and they tipping it in a colander before 'chopping' it with a fine edged saucer.

It took me a while to regain my interest in cabbage.

It occurs to me that there may be good cabbage soup recipes out there.

It's plant leaf, it needs disguising.

I love cabbage.

I had it once with raisins and cream. That was very nice. Not sure of other ingredients because I didn't cook it.

Carole, I might try your five spice suggestion but use rice wine in place of the white wine. I have some pork that needs cooking so I could do something Chinese with that.

Thank you.

I've never cooked it so don't know if it takes a lot of cooking but I might chuck it in the wok (finely shredded) with some toasted seasame oil, a couple of star anise, maybe a sliced red chilli and some hoisin sauce.

My favourite is a Scandinavian recipe for sweet-sour red cabbage...it has apple, onion, wine vinegar, brown sugar, sultanas and caraway seeds as well as the shredded red cabbage. Takes over an hour on the stove on very low heat.

How about red cabbage with apricots and balsamic vinegar? Sounds like a cold dish but it's a cooked one. I confess I've never made it but it does appeal to me.
I do cabbage..not red...in cheese sauce with loads of nutmeg on top. I like the sound of ummmms with raisins and cream.

We steam our cabbage, then serve with raisins and apples - delicious.

[EcclesCake]

Gingebee's recipe is close to my braised recipe without the caraway. I often do green cabbages with caraway though.

The thought of cabbage and apricot would go really well with pork so may give that a go some day soon.

There's a lovely stir fried one of Ainsley Harriotts with red wine and apples which is delicious and he serves it with duck in the meals in minutes book?

I'm with OG on this... and I'm a vegetarian. Red cabbage is only fit for the bin. Disgusting stuff. I've no doubt there must be a recipe somewhere that can make it taste edible. I just haven't come across it yet.

[1ozzy]

Personally I'd chop the stuff and then put it on the compost heap..
..But my family is happy to eat it when I shred it, add finely chopped bacon, garlic and finely chopped onion and saute it in a bit of Worcestershire sauce as as side dish to a meal.
Good luck.

Red cabbage is great in lots of guises, like that posh woman said 'paupers need to learn to cook' that's all.

[janbee]

It could be used in landfill sites or to fill potholes in the roads.

love it pickled on cheese sandwiches
