What would you do with 3 cabbages?

[DragonOverTheMoon]

A white one, a green one and a savoy?

I don't want them to go off.

Super thread OP. Thank you 🥬

That's probably a lettuce, but you get my drift

Savoy cabbage is absolutely just steamed and served in butter or white sauce as a side dish. You can also shred it up and fry it with cooked potatoes in bubble and squeak, or add to mash to make colcannon, or to roughly mashed potatoes and swede. Anything salty goes really well with cabbage, so it's really nice fried with chopped bacon or pancetta - also nice in dishes with anchovies, parmesan, soy sauce, that kind of thing.

All cabbage is brilliant for shredding and chucking into a huge pan of minestrone soup (which you could also then freeze in batches). Great in a stir-fry too.

@TheKeatingFive I was expecting to get flamed for posting in AIBU without an AIBU

The river cottage stuffed cabbage looks amazing and so does the cabbage pancakes.

I never feel white cabbage kimchi has the right consistency, but before it went off I'd give it a try.
Stuffed cabbage leaves with the outer leaves of any/all of them?
Coleslaw?
stir fried cabbage?
Cabbage soup?

I have noted both of those to try ASAP. Big cabbage fans in this house 😆

Actually you’re right, savoy might be closer to napa in finished texture. I don’t know as I’ve only ever made it to the traditional recipe. IIRC you have to soak savoy for much longer. If I were using white or green I’d slice it thinly as if I was making sauerkraut, rather than the bigger chunks or full leaves.

I would make a bubble and squeek

If you use cabbage by taking of outer leaves as you use them and not slicing into the cabbage if keeps for ages. My favourite cabbage dish is okonomiyaki (Japanese street food))
You can vary the toppings/ fillings.

My sone says this recipe for white cabbage is amazing: www.sbs.com.au/food/recipes/braised-cabbage-seans-dreams

Throw them at mil

Make a chuff load of nasi goreng and freeze for easy meals

Play Crackerjack.

I'd use one to make some bubble and squeak with some other guys added. If you made individual ones, a couple would keep in the fridge and freeze a couple.

@Tanaqui

Juggle?

That was my first thought too but I'm still traumatised by the mangoes thread 🤣

If you ae making sauerkraut or kimchi, the proportion of salt to weight of cabbage/vegetables is 2%. Massage the salt in well until the cabbage is weeping. When you've packed it all down, use a soft savoy leaf on top to keep bits from floating up. Add a washed stone to hold it all down. You also need some kind of valve in your jar lid to let the gas escape or else your jar will EXPLODE! Keeps for weeks and is fab for your gut health. I made some beetroot sauerkraut yesterday. Have fun.

Sauerkraut all the way! I have used this method a few times with great results: www.wildfermentation.com/making-sauerkraut-2/#0

Try not to drop them or you won't get a Crackerjack pencil 😂😂😂

It keeps for ages. The savoy and green ones you can slice thinly and put in the freezer - next time you're cooking a roast grab a few handfuls and sauté off with garlic and butter for a lovely side. The white one use in salads finely chopped, and for coleslaw etc.

With the white one I would definitely make the comfort food of my childhood: bigos, which is Polish meat and cabbage stew. There are loads of versions, some use all sauerkraut or all fresh cabbage, I use a mixture. You can use any meat but you always need Polish sausage and mushrooms, and you'll want caraway seeds and black peppercorns in there too.

If you want to make Kimchi check out Maangchi on YouTube she has several good recipes including easy versions and some recipes using kimchi.

Useful tip: I use swede in place of Korean radish as i saw a video by a Korean woman who lives here and she said it’s the best substitute she’s found. I thought it worked well.

I love Maangchi! Such fun to watch and really good recipes too. I’m hungry now...

...buy extra loo rolls, just in case...

I love cabbage, but it does v strange things to DH 💩

🤦‍♀️

@DragonOverTheMoon I use this recipe and add allsorts really, anything left in that salad drawer. Love to eat it with hummus on sourdough.
