Cabbage is often overlooked, relegated to an after thought or over used in bland, overly sweet coleslaws. With its mild flavor, cabbage can compliment many a flavor profile - soy. ginger and garlic, yes please; cilantro, chile and scallions, why not; curry? we'd do that. It adds crispness to your sandwich or spring roll, beefs up your next stew, fills out your soup. And it’s extremely affordable if you’re looking to stretch your dollar. Here are our favorite cabbage recipes!
