wow your going to be eating cabbage for weeks. When we were kids my mum always made chill con carne and for a change we used to have it on cabbage instead of rice. sounds a bit wierd but nice. i never boil my cabbage, i just shred it, wash it and cook with a knob of melted butter with the lid on. really nice with a spoon of english mustard in with the butter as well. or with bacon and cream with your sunday roast. thats all i can think of at mo. hope these help.

Love chillie.......love cabbage.........never thought of putting them together, I might give it a try.
Today for breakfast I had boiled broad beans, 2 eggs, smokey bacon and Charlotte potato fritters sliced thin and fried in butter with a big mound of mango chutney to go with it.....Yum!

I like it likely boiled or steamed, well seasoned with salt and pepper, pour cheese sauce over, top with more grated cheese and breadcrumbs, bake in the oven 20 mins. Lovely with sausage or left over roast meat.
But 15 lbs

Thanks for the replys. I have just been given a recipe by someone I know from Brazil. Her Mother cookes it - here goes.

Shred cabbage, slice some onions, add chopped tomatoes crumble an oxo over the top (veg. or beef) simmer until softened and serve. Something different and unusual.

Hi Lizzy, I've had it like that when it was made by a Honduran woman I once knew. I think she used a chicken bouillon cube instead of beef, and she used green pepper in the sauce as well. It makes a lovely sauce you can serve over boiled pig's feet, or, for a change -- over a hard-boiled egg for breakfast.

Marigold, I don't think I would fancy the boiled pig's feet, I will try with the peppers as well though.

Thanks

Finely shred the cabbage, then deep fry it for a couple of minutes ........................... crispy seaweed It's great

I did the cabbage-instead-of-rice, with curries, chilli etc, when I was on a very-low-carbohydrate diet (not Atkins, one whch allowed unlimited green veg, but nothing starchy or sweet). It did work rather well.
