Cabbage recipes

26 recipes

Here are my recipes with white, red, Savoy and Napa cabbage, and with sauerkraut. A good place to start is cabbage fritters, a 30-minute breakfast, or pirozhki filled with stewed sauerkraut.

How I cook with cabbage

Young cabbage is tender and juicy, so it goes into fritters and fresh salads such as cabbage, cucumber and tomato salad in 15 minutes. For braising I often mix fresh cabbage with sauerkraut: that’s how I make bigos with pork ribs and braised cabbage with sausages.

If you want soup

Borscht with chicken, kapusniak — sauerkraut soup with smoked pork, and vegetarian borscht without meat.

If you’re making cabbage rolls

First prepare the cabbage leaves, then pick a filling: pork and rice, ground beef and rice or vegetables only, wrapped in Savoy cabbage.
