To ask you what to do with cabbages and lettuce

[Chillyjellytotty]

I am unreasonable, but I got a too good to go box, it had 6 cabbages and 10 sweetheart lettuce. What the fuck do I cook/meal ideas?
Thanks

Give them away! I would take one of each!

That's loads!

Um.. use the leaves instead of tortillas
Cabbage soup
A BIG salad

Looooads of coleslaw

Braised lettuce and peas.

Sauerkraut or kimchi? You can freeze cabbage too and just cook from frozen when you need veg as a side or throw a handful in soup or stew.

I'd freeze a few of the cabbages, then send one of each to each neighbour.

Make a mumsnet MASSIVE salad?

Haha, stop ordering too good to go boxes is your answer. But for now I would give them away. I tried TGTG and got a selection of wizened vegetables, a liter of goats milk and some moldy hummus. Never again!

Cabbage lasts forever. I think there's such thing as lettuce soup...possibly even freezable?

Why not send all 6 to one of the Mumsnet skinnies for their Massive Salads?

Put in a stir fry
Roast the lettuce ( seriously)
avocado and tuna wrapped in lettuce
Braise cabbage
fry cabbage with bacon

I think I'd make kimchi as you could use it all.

Lettuce I have in a MN BIG salad

Cabbage - my step-dad used to make a lovely dish with cabbage and cheese sauce - yummy

Hugh fernley wittington does a curry were you add lettuce at the end ofcooking .. it sounds.awful but is fab!! It sort of melts .
Cabbage.. stir fry ? With chilli sauce, soya and harrasia ? Like they do in wagga mamma?

Bacon, cabbage and mashed potato, use cabbage in stir fried, lettuce soup maybe

Bubble and squeak with the cabbage? I'm always at a bit of a loss with lettuce, and end up making endless salads.

Lettuce soup. I made some when we had a veg box with 5 or 6 lettuces and it was lovely.

Baked cabbage with cream and cheese - I use this recipe: cookonfire.weebly.com/baked-cabbage.html. Probably not terribly good for you, but very tasty.

These are delicious

Pea, lettuce and mint soup

Letter risotto is my go to for surplus lettuce. It's much better than it sounds!

Great thank you :) I think I will give away most of the lettuce, not a fan of salad, especially in the winter. I know I should try it, but the thought of lettuce soup really doesn’t appeal.
I will try some of the cabbage recipes, everything is better with cheese, I will also freeze any we don’t eat, hasn’t thought of freezing it.
We have already had bubble and squeak that was my only cabbage idea 😅

My favourite cabbage recipe:

It freezes well.

Get a rabbit?

Sorry. I'm a bit drunk.

Quietly backing out of thread now......

Feed them to your rabbit. Though mine only really wants kale

I misread this as “mouldy humans”!

Mmmm braised lettuce with petits pois. Maybe a few lardons
