    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?

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

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

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

    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)
    Go confidently in the direction of your dreams

    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

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

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

    Look through the recipe section on http://www.earthshare.co.uk/

    From the BBC's Food & Drink pages...

    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.

    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.

    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.
