Cabbage Season at Its Peak

Explore versatile cabbage recipes and local varieties.

Cabbages have got to be one of the best value veggies and they’re at their best right now. Patrick and Sally are harvesting them from the patch on the farm and we’re also getting certified biodynamic cabbages grown in Donnybrook too.

Add to stews, casseroles and curries; make stuffed cabbage rolls by removing the midrib and blanching whole leaves to use as a wrap; make sauerkraut or kimchi, or use in a stir fry - either as it’s own dish (as pictured below) or in a larger stir fry recipe. We have green, red and some savoy cabbages at the farm shop this week

Assorted dessert bars and slices stacked on a white plate, including chocolate-topped squares with nuts, caramel-colored slices, orange-topped cake pieces, and powdered-sugar brownies. The plate sits on a wooden table with a softly blurred background.
