23 Hearty Cabbage Recipes for Winter Eating
Got some leftover cabbage in the fridge? Don't let it go to waste.
Cabbage is easily one of our all-time favorite vegetables. It's so versatile! There are so many cabbage recipes you can make.
You can slice it thin and dress it up for a salad or a slaw. You can slow roast it until it's carmelized and sweet. You can stuff it into buns, or let it fill out soups.
And there's never a season where cabbage isn't appropriate. Winter? Cabbage soup is very warming. Spring? What's corned beef without cabbage? Summer? You can't have a bbq without slaw. Fall? Cabbage and apples go together like peas in a pod!
Here are nearly two dozen of our favorite ways to cook with cabbage. Enjoy them all!
