Cabbage Greens:

This is the way I dream of cooking fresh home grown vegetables....

1.Fresh from the Garden

2. Never has having a Big head been
a great compliment

3. Washed outer Cabbage Greens

4. Sauted in olive oil with garlic, onion and s/p

Cook as long as you want to achieve desired tenderness,  adding a splash of Apple cider
Vinegar and water to keep them simmering/steaming in a covered pot.

I chopped the cabbage head and saute for Yakasoba dinner the next day

I love Fresh, Simple and Delicious!

Simple snacks

1. Blanch the leave, let them get cool to touch and fill them with your favorite filling

as you would stuffed shells... 

• cooked beans, 
• seasoned Quinua with peppers, 
• brown rice caramelized onions.

2.  Add to a cup of soup

3. Blanch and roll like a log then cut quite thin....add to your salad

How to Blanch ... Granted you can blanch without salt at all...
