Cabbage- (Brassica)
Cabbage comes in red or green shades with tightly layered leaves
Cabbage can be served raw in salads or slaw, boiled, braised, stewed, steamed, stir fry, or stuffed. It is a very versatile vegetable.

Chinese cabbage- This more delicate cabbage needs less cooking time can be grilled or used in salads
Savoy cabbage- The “pretty” cabbage with crinkly textured leaves, also nice to use as an edible garnish on you dishes.
Store your cabbage in the refrigerator in a lightly sealed plastic bag for 1-2 weeks. If the cabbage is already sliced it will last in the refrigerator for 5-6 days. For longer storage, cabbage does well in a root cellar (aka fancy name for a cool, dark place… Jess uses a plastic crate in her basement.)

Sauerkraut is a fast an easy way to use cabbage and keep it tasty for even longer! (Well, the prep is easy, but it takes about a week or so before it gets good). 
Jess made this sauerkraut with crabapples and caraway, it was pretty great!
Jess got a little creative with the spaghetti squash, baking it into a little bird’s nest shape, topping it with a poached egg and shiitake mushroom, and resting on some fresh Asian inspired veggie slaw. The ingredients are flexible here, see what veggies you have on hand and make your nest your own!
This is more of a foundation than a recipe. Use rice, leftover chicken that you have on hand, CSA veggies of your choice to make this dish your own.
Wedges of sweet cabbage cooked with pork and homemade tomato sauce throughout the day. What could be better? Pesto would also work, perhaps some fresh herbs, a splash of stock, whatever tickles your fancy. The cut of pork can be a tougher one as it will become less tough during the slow cooking process.
