Ingredient

Cabbage

Cabbage recipes that go beyond boiled: roasted wedges, quick pickles, slaws and stir-fries. 4 recipes.

Flavour pairings

  • Apple cider vinegar and mustard
  • Caraway and fennel seed
  • Soy sauce and chilli
  • Butter, black pepper and smoked paprika

Preparation

  • Remove the tough outer leaves and cut out the core. Slice thinly for slaws and stir-fries, or cut into wedges through the core to roast.
  • Salting shredded cabbage for 10–15 minutes softens it for slaws and quick pickles.

Storage

  • A whole head keeps in the fridge for several weeks; wrap cut cabbage and use within about a week.

Substitutions

  • Savoy, white and red cabbage are mostly interchangeable; red cabbage turns blue-ish without something acidic.
  • Napa cabbage is milder and cooks faster.
