Cabbage Roundup


We may be seeing more Chinese (or Napa) cabbage in the share this week, and those heads of cabbage are so big, they can sometimes be overwhelming, especially when we get it a couple of weeks in a row. Never fear, there are some great ways to use your cabbage, even some that don’t involve any cooking at all!

Since we’ve often gotten a lot of cabbage, this has been a common theme of some past blogs. So, I decided to round up the cabbage recipes that have already been posted in past seasons, and you can take your pick of those listed below. There are recipes for cooking cabbage in a crockpot, using it raw in a really delicious salad that makes a large amount—perfect for a Memorial Day picnic—and even a recipe for kimchi, a method of Korean cold pickling that can make your cabbage into a spicy treat that lasts for weeks.

And this is also a good time to point out the Search feature on this blog. The Search This Blog box at top right will help you find recipes and information about many of the types of produce you’ll get in your share over the course of the season. Just enter an item, such as Eggplant or Tomato, and click the Search button. A list of blog entries that refer to that type of food will list at the top of the blog page.

There have been almost two hundred posts on the Enright CSA blog since it started in 2009, with lots of recipes people have shared on how to prepare the great local produce we receive. Be sure to use this resource to find interesting ways to enjoy your weekly share. For now, here are some quick links to tasty cabbage recipes.
