**What do you do with a head of cabbage?**
If your first thought is coleslaw, you're not wrong—but cabbage is capable of so much more! 🥬
One of the things we love about cabbage is how versatile it is. You can eat it raw, sauté it, roast it, grill it, ferment it, or add it to soups and stir-fries.
A few ideas for this week's CSA cabbage:
🥗 **Crunchy slaw:** Shred it with carrots and scallions and toss with a simple vinaigrette. Perfect alongside pulled pork or tacos.
🔥 **Roasted cabbage:** Cut into thick wedges, drizzle with olive oil, season with salt and pepper, and roast until the edges are caramelized.
🧄 **Garlic sauté:** Thinly slice the cabbage and cook it with fresh garlic, scallions, and butter or olive oil. Simple and delicious.
🌮 **Taco topping:** Shredded cabbage adds the perfect fresh crunch to tacos, especially with grilled pork or chicken.
🍜 **Stir-fry:** Toss cabbage into a hot skillet with carrots, peas, scallions, garlic, and your favorite protein.
🥣 **Soup:** Add it to chicken, beef, or vegetable soup for a hearty, nourishing meal.
And if you have a LOT of cabbage, it's also a wonderful vegetable to ferment into sauerkraut for later in the year.
One of our favorite easy dinners is sautéed cabbage with garlic and browned sausage, finished with a splash of apple cider vinegar. Add some roasted potatoes and you've got a simple meal that tastes like you put much more effort into it than you actually did. 😊
