Cabbage Slaw with Ginger Vinaigrette
In case you still have some cabbage left – or for the next time we send one: This note came
from Spring Hill member, Carrie Pomeroy, “I first had this at a Spring Hill harvest day a few
years back and it's become THE way that I use cabbage. I don't know who brought it, but I sure
wish I could thank them! Here are the ingredients and process:”

Ingredients (adjust amounts to your preference):
Chopped cabbage
Carrots, julienned or thinly diced on the diagonal Bell pepper, cut into thin strips (yellow, purple, or red is nice for the color contrast) Annie's Natural Low Fat Gingerly Vinaigrette or similar salad dressing

Combine first three ingredients to get the mix of veggies you desire.
Toss with enough dressing to lightly coat. Enjoy! This can keep well in the fridge for a few days, also.

Sauteed Savoy Cabbage
This is my very favorite way to have cabbage in the fall and winter. I often sauté onions along with the garlic.

2 lbs. fresh wrinkly-skinned Savoy Cabbage
2 cloves garlic
1/4 cup extra virgin olive oil
salt and pepper to taste
Instructions:
1. Peel away the outer leaves of the cabbage and discard them. Then slice the rest of the cabbage into thin 1/4" strips.
2. Heat the garlic cloves in the oil in a large pan.
3. When the oil is hot add the cabbage and salt.
4. Mix often until the cabbage is thouroughly cooked.
5. Salt and pepper to taste.
If the cabbage gets too dry while cooking just add a little water to keep it from sticking. Note that the volume will reduce by 60 or 70% when cooked.

Cabbage is known to have
been used in European folk medicine to treat acute inflammation. A paste of raw cabbage may be placed in a
cabbage leaf and wrapped
around the affected area to
reduce discomfort. It may also
be effective in the relief of
painfully engorged breasts in breastfeeding women.
