Simple Meal Planning - Plan to Eat

Leftover Ingredients: Red Cabbage

May 19 All Ages

  • Facebook7

Before two months ago, I had never bought red cabbage. So why did I suddenly decide to buy it? I found a recipe that sounded yummy. Even though I knew I would only use a small amount of the entire cabbage, I bought it anyways. After I made the recipe, and the cabbage sat in my fridge for a good week, I decided I better find another way to eat it.

Ever bought some red cabbage for a recipe and then just let it sit in your fridge until it went bad? I have! Let's stop doing that and use it up with these great recipes!

I tried it in a smoothie (which didn’t alter the taste at all, but totally boosted the nutritional benefits!) and a salad. Even after using it three different ways, I still had leftover red cabbage!

There are so many more ways you can eat red cabbage, so here are some suggested recipes for you to try.

  • Red Cabbage from Allrecipes by Arita Droog
  • Red Cabbage Beet & Bean Salad from love food eat (I have made this a few times simply using red cabbage, beets from a can, and pinto beans from a can. I drizzle olive oil and balsamic vinegar on it and season with salt and pepper)
  • Shredded Pork and Pineapple Tacos from Kelsey’s Kitchen
  • Asian Quinoa Salad from Two Peas and Their Pod
  • Red Cabbage Slaw from Real Housemoms
  • Roasted Cabbage from Chez Us
  • Purple Resolution Smoothie from The Pioneer Woman
  • Sauerkraut from The Homemade Pantry (book)
  • Thai Peanut Noodle Salad from Our Best Bites
  • Pork Chops with Braised Cabbage from Simply Recipes
  • Turkey Pesto Panini from Baking with Blondie
  • Black Bean Burrito Bowl from Simply Recipes
  • The Purple Juice from Touch. Taste. Design
  • Purple Cake from Shape

Of course, you can do more with red cabbage than just eat it. You can also:

  • Get rid of heartburn (under “Vegetable Juice”; from One Good Thing by Jillee)
  • Dye Easter eggs (from Design Mom)

I have to get better at using up ingredients that I buy! I’m glad I was able to use the red cabbage in more than one way. I can’t wait to buy more red cabbage because I have plenty of recipes to refer to now!

    What a great series! I am so guilty of the exact same thing, buying an ingredient and then not using it all. Thanks for sharing with Hump Day Happenings : )
