I’m working on exciting cabbage recipes for the upcoming colder months (yes, cabbage can be v. exciting!).

Do you have any questions about cooking cabbage?

What’s your favorite humble or underrated vegetable?

Cabbage is an unsung hero. It's inexpensive, delicious, healthy, and lasts forever. Bring on the cabbage recipes!

Cauliflower is my favorite humble veggie. I especially love it Lebanese-style with tahini sauce. Or oven roasted as a "steak". So versatile, so delicious

Cabbage cut like in the picture gives good images - but it never really worked in practice for me. Leaves far from the stem it already fall apart long before the stem itself is barely cooked. If you cut slices instead of eighths to get it more even it only gets more instable. So cutting it evenly in small pieces makes more sence, just never looks so appealing.

Rutabaga and Kohlrabi are both delicious and criminally underrated

I would love to learn: tips for how to keep bigger slices/ chunks of cabbage together while cooking as well as a variety of ways to incorporate more cabbage into a balanced entree. I’ve heard there are many ways to make cabbage a great side dish too and I would love more examples of that! Exciting!

Cabbage is a huge part of my family's food heritage, but only boiled/steamed, and I've never liked it prepared that way. I would welcome any recipes that use cabbage to absorb flavor or fill out the dish so I can feel more connected to my roots while enjoying dishes with cabbage in them!

Brussels sprouts are really underrated in my opinion. I used to hate them as a kid and young adult and avoided eating them for like 20 years. Then I had some and realized I didn't hate them in general, just when they are cooked to be falling apart soft and taste both like nothing and an old shoe. Nowadays I love them halved and roasted in a pan with a bit of oil until slightly charred and still crisp. Yum!

I feel like red cabbage doesn't get enough love outside of slaw and German-style braised red cabbage! You can also get red brussel sprouts nowadays.

Cabbage! Delicious, great for your microbiome, and so much bang for your buck in the grocery store! My other favorite humble vegetables would be turnips and beets. Gotta love a solid, earthy root veg. 💚

My favorite underrated vegetable is mature spinach. I think most people don't even know that mature spinach is a thing, baby spinach = spinach as a whole. Mature spinach is much better for cooking, it doesn't develop that overwhelmingly vegetal/chlorophyll taste or become slimy and stringy like baby spinach is wont to do if you overcook it by 10 seconds. Also, I like that mature spinach is sold lined up in a bunch so you can easily chop off the stems.

I would love some cabbage recipes that could be canned for future use considering the economy right now.

My favourite underrated veggie is leeks! Of course it's great in the supporting role it often plays, but when it gets to be the star of the dish it really shines imo

As a Ukrainian, cabbage is our sacred vegetable. I look forward to seeing your creations!

Mine is definitely cabbage! I like the way it tastes, it's incredibly versatile, it doesn't shrink as badly as most leafy vegetables, and it's usually very cheap. Oh, and it keeps well. That's a big one for me!

Thinly sliced cabbage fried with spaghetti is a blast! Add some julienned carrots for color and something creamy as a sauce. You're welcome!

Radish. I feel like it’s underrated, at least in American cuisine. Kkakdugi is one of my favorite foods

I am kind of over carrots and would love some inspo. Also other seasonal stuff in winter that can be made to taste fresh and not soup.
