You've never eaten a cabbage in your life?

>>15375933
Coleslaw is an easy option.

>>15375933
Fry it up with some sort of salty meat. Preferably bacon, or kielbasa. Im sure ground beef or chicken would work too...

onions and seasonings...eat with cornbread.

cabbage soup / stewed cabbage is an easy fix. Very tasty too.

>>15375933
I like to boil it in water then smother it with butter.

>>15375943
Not even once. I love vegetables and leafy greens, so don't ask me why.

Southern fried cabbage.

Slice a pound of bacon into thin strips and fry until fat is rendered and it's crispy along with a diced onion. Toss in diced cabbage, salt pepper, crushed garlic. Put a lid on it, stir it every few minutes, cook until cabbage is tender. Toss in a few tablespoons of butter and stir it through as it melts. Delicious.

Cut it into 1.5” squares. Get a pan blisteringly hot with a high heat oil, to the point of smoking. Stir fry the cabbage until slightly softened, about 3 minutes. Toss with a very tiny bitof sweet soy and chili.

As others have said, you need a fat, ie, butter or rendered pork fat from bacon.

A seasoning meat is often used like bacon, and some chicken stock or bouillon is often good, too.

I like sauteing better than boiling, but it is also good boiled in the water left over from making corned beef.

Don't overcook-- it gets stinky if you do that.

honestly you could try making gołąbkis; steam the cabbage whole and then take some leaves off and cool them in water. wrap them around some raw ground beef and uncooked rice. (season however you like) and then boil them in shallow water with tomatoes and cover them with the remaining cabbage leaves to trap the moisture.

throw some salt and pepper on the finished product and enjoy!

I think the best is high heat cooking, it brings out a sweetness that a saute or boiling doesn’t. Although it really does go well with pork fat as you suggest.

>>15375956
This is the answer. Bacon, onion, fried cabbage, that's really all you need. Also good with egg noodles but whatever.

>>15375933
It's nice shredded in a salad with spinach. It also works surprisingly well in stir fries. You can also add it to soup. It's honestly insanely versatile and very nutritious to boot. If you enjoy it, it's one of the best produce deals in terms of cost vs. what you can do with it/health benefits.

Make a thoran curry, sauerkraut or kimchi ... or bludgeon your family to death, and eat the evidence, you fucking simp.

>I've never eaten or cooked with [cabbage] in my life. What should I do?
Feel intense shame

Children. Then make them eat cabbage.

>>15375956
I just did this with Chorizo. 10/10

>>15375948
My dad does a nice home-made coleslaw.

>>15375933
Make a heart cabbage stew with sausage, onions, carrots, tomato sauce base... Tis the season.

>>15375933
make sauerkraut. keeps for a long time and you can even use it to make bigos if you want to use up a lot at once

Throw it in soup, stews, ramen, rice dishes, spaghetti, cabbage rolls, stir-fry, casseroles... It's not a main food, it's an addition to other foods.

>>15375933
spoiler alert: cabbage tastes like a freshly christened diaper

>>15376981
Only if you overcook it. Don't overcook it and it's delicious and extremely healthy.

>>15375956
This. I made some "burger" patties with leftover potsticker filling and it was really fucking good.

shred thinly, mix with a little lemon/lime, add to a tortilla with a chicken tendy, dress with spicy mayo or whatever taco sauce you like.

>>15375933
Coleslaw
Okonomiyaki
Corned beef and cabbage

>>15375933
Where in the heck do you live where cabbage is some kind of exotic thing? Cabbage has been a peasant staple for centuries, if not millennia.

>>15375933
who the fuck "impulse buys" a cabbage

>>15377549
/ck/ niggas

>>15377509
no one said exotic. but, truly, what a loyal friend cabbage is. where would we be without you.

>>15377549
I did, several days ago. I was in the produce section, I noticed it was on sale for $0.49/lb, and went for it.

>>15377442
Corned beef and cabbage is top tier shit, boil some potatoes and carrots with the cabbage.

>>15377549
You don't impulse buy shit just to fuck around with it?

>>15375968
a pound of rendered bacon fat is 2k calories of fat and you add butter to it?

>>15376758
lol
its three ingredients

>>15378070
So are scrambled eggs, and I've had some terrible plates of them before. It's not about the ingredients, or complexity, it's the execution of the dish. You should know that if you ever want to be a good cook.

Be careful with the knife. Sometimes there’s a baby underneath.

If you have an asian grocery store near you, you can get the ingredients to make okonomiyaki.

>>15375933
I usually steam/boil it and then hit it with just some salt and a little pepper. That being said, I also eat that shit raw. It's a pretty filling, cold, and crunchy snack.

>>15375933
braised with apples

>>15378130
Steamed with a bit of pepper and butter along side baked chicken is pretty solid.
>>15378023
Eating half a head of cabbage, a chunk of corned beef, and potato is an experience unto itself.

Káposzta. It's basically >>15376060 but with paprika. Good luck fren:)

My favorite way to cook it is fry it up then add crushed red chili flakes, vinegar, and some sugar.

Cabbage tastes very good in most any cooked dish. Don't eat too much in a day or you'll get the windy farts.

I am allergic to wheat. I use raw cabbage leaves as a sandwich wrap. Excellent substitute.
