Any suggestions?

(35,887 posts)Is so fabulous. I like to shred it with the mandolin, then toss it in a green salad with yellow pepper. The color is not to be believed!

Ingredients
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
1 pound ground beef
1/2 large onion, chopped
5 cups chopped cabbage
2 (16 ounce) cans red kidney beans, drained
2 cups water
24 ounces tomato sauce
4 beef bouillon cubes
1 1/2 teaspoons ground cumin
1 teaspoon salt
1 teaspoon pepper
Directions
Heat oil in a large stockpot over medium high heat. Add ground beef and onion, and cook until beef is well browned and crumbled. Drain fat, and transfer beef to a slow cooker. Add cabbage, kidney beans, water, tomato sauce, bouillon, cumin, salt, and pepper. Stir to dissolve bouillon, and cover.
Cook on high setting for 4 hours, or on low setting for 6 to 8 hours. Stir occasionally. Enjoy!

(111,537 posts)Were I gifted with a head of red cabbage, I'd probably to Alton Brown's recipe: http://www.foodnetwork.com/recipes/alton-brown/home-of-the-braise-recipe/index.html Apple sweetens it and caraway gives it an interesting kick. You'd need something strong to stand up to it, like pot roast or Irish stew.

(29,098 posts)Be careful not to add too much caraway though....A very little goes a long way. Its a good dish with pork chops.

(24,096 posts)I don't often get the purple, but now that it's in my mind it is on my next grocery list.
I love regular boiled cabbage, boiled so it's real soft, strained, then buttered and peppered and salted & with a dash of vinegar.
It is yummmmmmy.

Then I pour in a generous drollop of red wine vinegar, cover the skillet, and let it cook down until they're limp. Then take the cover off and cook a little longer until most of the moisture is cooked off and the vinegar becomes glaze-y.
Damn, that's good.
