Crisp, versatile, and wonderfully economical, cabbage is one of those kitchen staples that can do just about anything. Enjoy it raw in a crunchy slaw, sauté it with butter and onions, roast it until the edges caramelize, or add it to soups, stews, stir-fries, and casseroles. Its mild, slightly sweet flavor becomes richer and more savory as it cooks, while the leaves hold up beautifully to hearty dishes. A good head of cabbage can turn a handful of simple ingredients into a satisfying meal.
