35 Ways to Use Up Cabbage

Have you ever had a head of cabbage in the fridge that you didn’t know what to do with?  Maybe you used half of it in another recipe and now what?  Well, cabbage is one of my favorite vegetables to keep on hand because it is so versitle.  Here are 35 ways to use up cabbage that have been tried and tested!

There is a recipe here to suite every diet, and every palate.  I listed all the vegetarian and vegan recipes first, as this is how I eat most of the time.  Then the recipes using fish and shrimp will follow at the end.

Some of these recipes use a lot of cabbage, and some only use a little as a topping on a taco, for example.  Luckily, cabbage keeps very well in the fridge, so you can use a little or use a lot, either way works!

Should I use Red or Green Cabbage?

Most of these recipe specify red or green cabbage, but really the two are interchangable for the most part.  Red cabbage has more flavor, but can bleed a little color into leftovers.  Green cabbage being a little less flavorful goes well into dishes that are already loaded with flavors and don’t need another character on the scene.
