From A Polish Country House Kitchen's Red Cabbage with Cranberries

Braised cabbage is like the nerdy younger brother to the now hip fried brussels sprouts or effortlessly cool kale caesar salad. Grassy and cruciferous like its siblings, cabbage is simply bigger, bulkier, and (often) less flavorful. But if cabbage is prepared as it is in Anne Applebaum and Danielle Crittenden's From A Polish Country House Kitchen, it has a chance at popularity.

Cabbage slaw

A very easy but tasty side dish. Pairs well with my BBQ pork ribs. 

Garlic Butter Warm Red Cabbage Salad

A Warm Red Cabbage Salad tossed with herb and garlic butter and sprinkled with pistachios. Adds a beautiful splash of colour to any table and is a fabulously moorish way to serve cabbage!

Easy Roasted Cabbage

To get sweet nuttiness from caramelization and browning, you'll want to cut cabbage up into fat wedges and roast at high heat, for a deeply browned exterior and tender, meaty interior.

Roasted red cabbage with miso butter

I love roasted cabbage. Pair it with miso butter and you have one tasty dish!

Red Cabbage Salad With Roasted Cipollini Onions

This winter salad combines gorgeously sweet, meltingly tender roasted cipollini onions with red cabbage, bitter chicory, walnuts, and crumbled goat cheese. The combination hits all the notes you want in a hearty salad, with a variety of flavors and textures, from very soft to crispy and crunchy.

Tangy Apple Coleslaw

Sweet and tart Granny Smith apples, along with the standard cabbage and carrots, are paired with a tangy-sweet sour cream dressing for a slaw that outdoes the standard with its bright, tart flavor.

Roasted Cabbage Wedges

Treat your cabbage to a major flavor upgrade by roasting it! These caramelized cabbage wedges are crispy on the outside, tender on the inside, and absolutely delicious. An easy and healthy side dish!

Brown Butter and Cinnamon Applesauce

Browned butter adds a distinct richness and overall nuttiness that melds with and complements the apples and cinnamon to make this an applesauce a step above the rest.

Grilled Cabbage With Blue Cheese Dressing

Deeply fragrant, with smoky, charred edges, cabbage takes on a nutty, sweet flavor when grilled over blazing-hot coals, and a great texture that's simultaneously tender and crisp. Its layered structure also makes it the ideal vessel for picking up both smoke flavor from the grill and whatever sauce you choose to serve it with. In this case, we're going with a rich blue cheese dressing, tomatoes, and—if you want them—bacon bits.
