Cabbage is one of the most underrated vegetables. It’s Low Carb, super nutritious, generally available year round, keeps in the fridge for weeks and weeks, and if cooked properly it’s super delicious. I love it raw shaved into salads or ‘slaw but it really shines when cooked.
8 Easy Cooked Cabbage Recipes
1. Darya’s Egg Fried Cabbage
OMG! This Egg Fried Cabbage dish is one of my favourite favourite things to eat at the moment. It’s such as simple dinner but so satisfying and delicious.
And one of those versatile recipes that is equally good for breakfast, lunch OR dinner. I’d take a big bowl of this cabbage over pasta any day.
2. Halloumi + Cabbage Hash
OK so full credit. This idea for this delicious combo came from David at Green Kitchen Stories. When he posted his version on Instagram, I made an instant mental note to create my own more simple recipe.
So glad I did. I could happily eat this all day every day.
3. Magic Sausage & Cabbage Supper
Cabbage is so good when cooked down into a soft pile that’s sort of like a big bowl of fettuccine. Waistline-friendly comfort food at it’s best!
And don’t skip the vinegar! It really freshens everything up and makes the cabbage flavours come alive (in a good way). Ditto the salt and oil.
4. Wonderful Cabbage Wedges
When I enjoyed cabbage wedges for lunch at one of my favourite restaurants I couldn’t wait to get home and try my own version.
The secret is to roast the cabbage wedges in foil parcels with a little water so they soften and steam and brown a little around the edges. Then serve one wedge per person for everyone to tear into as they see fit.
5. Cabbage And Sausage
If you love Cabbage and you love Sausages… then this flavor packed Cabbage and Sausage Recipe for a magic meal is going to become your new best friend.
Commercial sliced cabbage coleslaw mix works really well. But if you’re happy slicing your own cabbage then please do – just discard the outer leaves and slice as finely as you can with a sharp knife on a cutting board.
6. Cabbage ‘Chow Mein’
I have to confess, I don’t know if I’ve ever really had Chinese Chow Mein. So this Cabbage ‘Chow Mein’ is more of an idea from my head rather than an attempt to simplify a classic dish that I know and love.
7. Quick Tuna Cabbage & Pesto
Warm cabbage is my go-to when I’m looking for an alternative to a big bowl of pasta. Especially this Quick Tuna Cabbage & Pesto recipe. It ticks all the same boxes of deliciousness, ease and comfort.
But it’s even quicker to cook than most pastas. AND so much better for you.
8. Spiced Cabbage & Feta
I can’t tell you how much I adore cabbage these days. It’s seriously one of my favourite things to eat, including this Spiced Cabbage & Feta.
And while it’s amazing raw in salads and coleslaw, it’s hard to go past a big bowl of soft spiced cabbage spiked with salty feta. Beats pasta any day.
9. Ugly Delicious Chicken And Cabbage
Ugly delicious. That’s what happens when you combine chicken and cabbage with the magical ingredient soy sauce.
At first glance this recipe doesn’t sound like it’s going to change your life.
But one taste is all it will take.
You’ll be congratulating yourself on your magical cooking skills.
Have fun in the kitchen!
With love,
