Leftover cabbage

After our great Corned beef & cabbage dinner last night I find we're left with an abundant amount of boiled cabbage wedges. I have a few ideas but would love some input to spice it up into a great side dish. Any ideas???

Make a bechamel sauce, mix in the cabbage and top with buttered crumbs. Bake until bubbly.

Did you have colcannon? Mashed potatoes with cooked cabbage? You could add some bacon, too.

Those are two of my favorites.

A wonderful Polish dish called "Halushki," which is simply cabbage, noodles, and butter. Delicious!

I'm not sure how much you've got left, but this rice and cabbage soup from Wednesday Chef via Marcella Hazan is practically like risotto. A delicious dish to make from scratch but with leftovers you could have this prepared lickety split. I imagine you've got some broth leftover from the corned beef that would make great stock for this soup!

Brown some lean ground beef and add a tomato sauce as if making a meat sauce for spaghetti. I like to add a little bit of heat with some red pepper flakes. Slice your left over cabbage lengthwise and put a layer of cabbage in the bottom of a glass baking dish sprayed with your favorite cooking spray. Layer the meat sauce on top of the cabbage then top with your favorite shredded cheese, I use mozzorella and then continue layer alternating the three as if you were making lasagne. Bake at 350 degrees (preheat oven) until cheese and meat sauce are bubbly. Delicious!

jude03,

Brilliant!

You should enter that recipe for cabbage lasagne in a contest?

I'd put the cabbage to use in some egg roll wrappers with some other finely shredded veggies and chicken.

stuffed cabbage!
