Asha Gomez makes this stir fry with her red cabbage and since Indian spices are a favorite, this is how I’ll use up maybe half of that head.

Recipes
(2019) Mexican Shrimp Cocktail
Because there’s always room for one more recipe and I’ve got shrimp to cook, how about this one from “Live, Eat, Cook Healthy” by Rachel Khanna?
(2019) Grilled Burgers with Garden Vegetables
I’m thinking outdoor meals – despite the heat – and here are two things I’m going to make this week.
(2019) Green Bean and Potato Salad
A recipe from Everyday Food. I’ve got Pine Street Market bacon in the freezer so I’m pulling out a pound to split between this salad and some BLTs.
(2019) Celery and Green Onion Soup
As demonstrated by Chef Ryan Smith at the Freedom Farmers Market. If you have a juicer, then you’re set to make your own celery juice. Otherwise, consider substituting vegetable broth. The resulting soup is way more than the sum of its simple parts.
(2019) Broccoli Peanut Stir Fry
This recipe came from Southern Living magazine originally. Probably more than a decade ago.
(2019) Spicy Cabbage and Sweet Onion Slaw
For one more simple slaw recipe, I offer you this one. Provenance unknown! It’s Vidalia onion season and soon we’ll be getting some sweet onions in our box. That head of cabbage will actually hold up fine for a few weeks (refrigerated, of course) so you could wait to make this, or make it with a store bought Vidalia. Quantities of cabbage and onion are up to you.
(2019) Grilled Napa Cabbage Slaw
And then there’s this recipe adapted from one by Laurie Moore of Moore Farm and Friends. You might know Laurie, she’s in the booth just a few tables away from Riverview at Freedom Farmers Market. As she says, “If you’re already firing up the grill, this is a great way to get some great flavor on the veggies, too.”
(2019) Mark Bittman’s Vegetable Pancakes
Vegetable pancakes seem to be a thing these days, and I love this recipe from Mark Bittman that will use up any vegetable you have on hand. You can use some of that lettuce if you chop it and maybe saute a little before mixing into the batter. Spinach? Sure. Grated kohlrabi. Absolutely. Chopped cabbage, probably anything from this week’s box except maybe the tomatoes which might turn watery.We eat these either with a little soy sauce or a little hot honey. That’s my new addiction and I’m not even a fan of hot sauces. But hot and sweet like the hot honeys people are producing these days? Love it.
(2019) Grilled Something and Arugula Salad
If you don’t want to mix that arugula with lettuce but want to enjoy its sharp flavor on its own, how about this arugula salad? Delicious with any grilled meat but an especially good complement to beef. The original idea came years ago from Prevention magazine.
