What do do with red cabbage?

[sugarmouse]

I usually boil it and drink the water..but I wondered if theres anythign else its good for!

[Kevster]

Stir fry!!

[Poison Ivy]

In a salad??

[Robert]

I bought a quarter of one as I was rather hoping it would make for a more colourful coleslaw. I am assuming it is ok to eat raw?

[talitha]

I make it into a nice coleslaw with sliced apples, red onions and dried cranberries dressed with olive oil and red wine vinegar. Yummy :)

[horselesspaul]

Steamed with Balsamic vinegar, lemon and olive oil drizzle.

[sugarmouse]

thankyou for the ideas guys! I never thought I would get so many but I want to try them all now..lol

[Roxy]

I quite like it in a stir fry but I like to lightly steam it a bit before stir-frying it.

[cedarblue]

juice it
lightly steam leaves and stuff them, roll up and bake

[piggy]

i shred it and then cook for a long time with vinegar, salt, onion, grated apple, a few raisins and oil. i add cinnamon and cloves too. and water, of course

You could try the red cabbage curry. (http://www.karenswebsite.info/karen/recipes/Red%20cabbage%20curry.htm)

[kriz]

I use red cabbage for cole slaw with Vegenaise, red wine vinegar and raisins. Easy peasy and yummy!:)

Kiran, you're SO cute in your baby photo.;)

[snaffler]

Throw it at animal hunters, no sorry none of that I will get slapped ;)
Slice it fine, then slice fine some onion, then grate carrot, add a little lemon, a good splodge of vegan yoghurt a good splodge or vegan mayo = lush vegan colslaw. I love it in a nice west country spud (baked) :D

[RachelJune]

I make borsch (beetroot and cabbage soup type dish). A Russian friend of mine taught me how to make a veganised version which is very healthy and tasty. Especially nice with vegan sour cream :)

[zorbed]

Pickle it!! :D

Yes, i'm a Northerner :p haha

[Pisces]

I've often been curious as to what pickled cabbage is like...

[JustMe]

I like finely sliced red cabbage as part of a salad.

A few more ideas to be going on with...

[Cumin]

I put it raw in a bean pate - gives an extra bit of crunch and texture.
Otherwise, I just steam it (very slightly) and serve with vegan haggis + gravy.
:D

I do the same thing but without raisins, cinnamon and cloves. This is good hot, warm or cold, especially if you don't overdo it on the vinegar. I use cider vinegar.

[emmapresley]

my mum stews it slowly for ages with apple and orange juice..it's really nice..though i'm sorry i don't know the recipe :o
could always improvise??

[cedarblue]

mmm we're having it today cooked with onion, vinigar & apple...
maybe some garlic too?

[Aradia]

Slow cook it in the oven or on the hob with sultanas, a bit of stock, a healthy splash of red wine and some sugar... it comes out almost caramelised and really soft and scrummy.

Or with apples and cinnamon.
