Cabbage

Cabbage is a green, leafy vegetable and member of the Brassica family. It can be cooked in many different ways, and depending on the preparation, its texture can range from crispy and caramelized to meltingly tender. Here you will find all of my favorite ways to prepare cabbage including cabbage soup, roasted cabbage, and cabbage salad.

This is my favorite recipe for buttermilk dressing, which I love for slaw — so much lighter than mayonnaise-based dressings, and delicious, too: vinegar, Worcestershire, and hot sauce give it a nice kick/bite. To put it all together, I used cabbage, basil, cilantro, scallions, and two turnips as well as a couple of carrots. // alexandracooks.com

Loaded with vegetables — carrots, potatoes, onions and cabbage — a little bacon and a touch of cream, this cabbage soup is definitely hearty, best served on a cold winter day with crusty bread and nothing more. For me, it's the dill and caraway seeds that make it unlike any other I have tasted, the caraway seeds in particular imparting a lovely yet subtle flavor. // alexandracooks.com

In this cabbage pad thai, sugar and lime juice in the stir-fry sauce stand in for tamarind, whose fruity, tart flavor lends that sweet-and-sourness characteristic of traditional pad Thai. This dish comes together quickly, and while the vegetables and seasonings may be unorthodox, the combination is tasty and satisfying. // alexandracooks.com
