Ottolenghi’s lime and poppy seed slaw with curry leaf oil is great and so — though very different — is Marcella Hazan’s smothered cabbage and rice soup.

a simple red cabbage with oil, vinegar, and spices is such a lux little side that my sis in law introduced me to!

-Cupus Salata - Serbian cabbage salad just finely shred cabbage and toss with salt, pepper, olive oil and white vinegar. A dish that is much greater than the sum of its parts
- Cabbage and noodles - caramelize a ton of onions and cabbage, season generously and mix with egg noodles.
- Sarma - Serbian dish made of fermented cabbage leaves stuffed with a mixture of meat and rice (or walnuts for a vegan/lenten version) braised in a tomato sauce. One of my favorite foods of all time, best when cooked by lil old church ladies.
- Roast cabbage paprikash - cut cabbage into large wedges and brush with oil and salt and paprika, roast at 450 until pretty much cooked. meanwhile, cook down onions and diced red bell pepper in butter and add an absolutely absurd amount of paprikas (i use smoked, regular, and hot. truly use way more than you think, a tablespoon will NOT cut it, it’s honestly more like a quarter cup but I never measure) and add chicken or veg stock. Sinmer until thick enough to your liking, add in cabbage until it’s very tender and translucent. Finish off with some heavy cream, sour cream, or just leave it alone. Serve with egg noodles, homemade hungarian dumplings, pasta, crusty bread, or even rice.
- Curtido - commonly served as a side for pupusas. Thin sliced cabbage, red onion, carrot, cilantro, oil, vinegar, and oregano. look up a recipe for this as Im not an expert on south/central american cuisine but I do love it.
- Okonomiyaki - this one may be the most up your alley as it’s topped w kewpie. It’s a big japanese savory pancake that often has a cabbage base. Beat an egg and some flour, add sliced cabbage and basically any sliced veg you like. You can get really creative with fillings (the name literally translates to something like “grilled as you like it) but I usually do cabbage, onion, mushroom. The real kicker is the sweet BBQ sauce (look up a recipe but honestly american BBQ sauce like sweet baby rays works in a pinch) and mayo topping. People eat it most often with a hearty serving of bonito flakes on top but my husband is vegetarian so I skip that. Again look up a recipe, I usually watch a couple short videos and wing it and it turns out great every time.
Big cabbage fan over here and I hope you make at least one of these sometime!! 🥬💚
