My husband brought home 2 heads of cabbage tonight, any ideas on what to do with it?!?

Answer 1

If you have corned beef...you can add that to the cabbage. _ Or perhaps you could try adding sliced garlic & salt and doing a stir fry in a little butter.

Answer 2

Mom's Cabbage Rolls
2 lbs. Hamburger
1 onion, chopped
1 1/2 cups rice
2 eggs
2 cups shredded/chopped cabbage
12-20 large cabbage leaves
1 large can tomato juice

Combine hamburger, onion, rice, chopped cabbage and eggs in a large bowl. Blanch the cabbage leaves until soft. Place about ½ cup of hamburger mixture in each leave, roll up and secure with toothpicks. Pour tomato juice over all and bake at 350 for 1 ½ hours.


Mom's Homemade Coleslaw
1/2 head cabbage, core removed, shredded
1 carrot, shredded
1 cup mayonnaise (Duke's, Kraft, etc.)
1 packet sweet-n-low (or to taste) (1 pkt. is equal to 2 tsp. sugar)
2 tbsp. water, milk, or evaporated milk

In bowl combine mayonnaise, sweet-n-low and water. Mix well. Pour over cabbage and carrot in large bowl. Mix well and chill.

Answer 3

I personally don't care for the taste of cooked cabbage (and I really hate the smell it leaves in the house), but my kids love (and don't hurl, ok?) raw cabbage leaves rolled up with peanut butter. I make a corned beef dinner for a dear friend of mine a couple times a year, and I've found that I have to buy an extra head of cabbage for the kids, otherwise there isn't enough cabbage left to cook for dinner.

Watch out for gas, though. Egad!

Merry Christmas to you and yours!

Answer 4

Make some Stewed Cabbage

Answer 5

Stuffed Cabbage one of my favorites.

INGREDIENTS

* 1 medium head cabbage
* water to cover
* 1 pound ground beef
* 1 cup cooked rice
* garlic powder to taste
* 1 egg
* 1 (12 fluid ounce) can tomato juice
* 1 tablespoon vinegar
* 1 tablespoon white sugar
* water to cover

DIRECTIONS

1. Place the head of cabbage in a large pot over high heat and add water to cover. Boil cabbage for 15 minutes, or until it is pliable and soft. Drain and allow to cool completely. Remove the hard outer vein from the leaves.
2. In a separate large bowl, combine the beef, rice, garlic powder and the egg, mixing well. Place a small amount, about the size of your palm, into the center of a cabbage leaf and fold leaf over, tucking in the sides of the leaf to keep meat mixture inside.
3. Pile up the filled leaves in a large pot, putting the larger leaves on the bottom. Add the tomato juice, vinegar and sugar and enough water to cover. Simmer over medium low heat for about 60 minutes. (Note: Keep an eye on them, making sure the bottom of leaves do not burn.)

Answer 6

Make 1 into coleslaw and the other into braised cabbage. The link has the recipe. (OK to use either all red or all white cabbage in the recipe, use whatever he brought home)

Answer 7

if you wrap them up in a couple of plastic bags you can freeze them, and if you want to make cabbage rolls take them out the night before in the sink, the leafs are very manageable and easy to roll, that is the only way I make up cabbage rolls. It saves on the boiling and the smell of cooked cabbage. ( you can keep them frozen a long time)

Answer 9

an old German recipe is to chop some of it rather course and mix it with corn and boil it down it is an acquired taste the other thing to do is chop or shred it real fin and mix a dressing for it all nuts and a bit of orange juice and you have a version of cold slaw again it is acquired taste but one I have liked since I was a kid and it is good for you as well. Go to epicurious.com and type in cabbage and be prepared for an onslaught of recipes good eating
