I've been using all of your suggestions for cabbage this past week. I've sauteed cabbage in bacon fat, made cabbage rolls, and a particular highlight was this curried pea and peanut slaw.
I didn't have a recipe to go on, but simply made it how I'd enjoy it. So, here's an approximation of what I used.
Dressing:
Combine in the bottom of a large bowl --
3 tablespoons mayonnaise
about 2 1/2 teaspoons vinegar (until the dressing looked thinned enough)
2 to 3 teaspoons plum chutney (to taste)
1/2 teaspoon curry powder
The remaining ingredients:
1 & 1/2 cups of frozen peas, thawed and drained, but not cooked
1/2 cup of roasted peanuts
2 large handfuls of shredded green cabbage (I think about 3 to 4 cups)
1 - 2 tablespoons of minced chives, or chopped green onions
Toss ingredients with dressing, and serve. It was simple to make and very delicious. I'll be making this again, and again.
If I were to add anything to this salad, it would likely be some green onions or sliced celery. Both would go well with the dressing, I think.
The suggestion for this salad was posted anonymously in the comments last week. I wish I could thank you, whoever added this idea!
