Cabbage lasts a long time in the fridge. I slice thinly, Love it cooked in no additional water after washing, with a bit of butter and salt with the lid on pan. Shake to prevent sticking, takes only a few minutes. Can put together a quick slaw, with grated carrots, apples and walnuts. I also keep frozen spinach and peas hand to add to soups, peas added to risotto. Try baking whole peeled onions with cumin.
