So what do you guys do with all of your cabbage that you grow?? I have some ready to be harvested, but don't know either how to prepare it or store it or whatever.

I could google it, but word of mouth is much more interesting!! And tried


Any ideas??
 
How about stuffed cabbage? Boil the cabbage, then take sauteed ground beef and cooked white rice, mix together. Take a large can of tomato soup and put it in a large pot. Take the cabbage leaves and roll the beef/rice mixture in each leaf, then place in the pot with tomato soup and simmer. Yum

You can make dishes like the stuffed cabbage and freeze them. Use plenty of sauce; helps with reheating; just put the frozen prepared dish in a pot and heat slowly.

I used to blanch and freeze cabbage leaves all the time. Clean and cut up roughly, then just blanch til it changes color, cool in ice water, freeze, then simmer in a little water to cook. But then I loved simple steamed cabbage with a little butter, salt and pepper. Or add to soup, stir fries, or egg roll mix.

I just made eggrolls and froze them. They turned out so great Im planning on planting a lot of cabbage in the fall.

I also love fried cabbage.
 
Brown up some hamburger and onions, when it is almost cooked added in csome chopped cabbage and finish cooking. Add some salt and pepper--it's tasty. When I am feeling ambitious I make something my german grandma made called krautbaruek. You take either bread dough or crescent rolls and make little turnovers. I use the cresent rolls---take 2 of the triagle pieces, pinch shut the little dotted line, put a couple of spoons of filling in, then draw up the corners around the filling and pinch seams shut. Put seam side down in a 9x13 pan and bake according to direction on crescent roll package. Sometimes I get lazy and just bake the crescent rolls to eat with the filling.

This salad/slaw is easy, tasty, and lasts for several days in the fridge. It can be found in deli restaurants in the northeast. I plan to make this over the weekend.

Claremont Salad

2 tablespoons sugar
3 tablespoons vinegar
2 tablespoons of salad oil
1 tablespoon of water
1 teaspoon of salt
1 cucumber (sliced)
1 carrot (sliced)
1 green pepper (sliced)
1 bermuda onion (sliced)
3/4 head of cabbage (shredded)


Shake the sugar, vinegar, salad oil, water, and salt together in a large jar and pour the mixture over the vegetables. Leave the vegetables and mix at room temperature for two (2) hours.

Put it in the refrigerator over night before serving. Will keep several days chilled.

You know this sounds so simple, but I bet it's really good. I'm going to try it tonight and then take it off on one my katy trips to tweak it land. I love the idea of putting it in rolls . . . or at least I KNOW my husband will!
