What to cook this week: Recipes for cabbage rolls and soup

“What to cook this week” is a weekly series featuring recipes that use local, seasonal produce. Look for new ideas and recipes every Thursday. 

There’s more to cabbage than cabbage rolls and slaw (although we think they’re great too).

Cabbage provides a daily dose of Vitamin C, fibre and folacin, and one cup of chopped cabbage comes in at only 22 calories. When kept in a moisture-proof bad, cabbage will last for several weeks, a huge bonus for those sick of throwing out spoiled produce at the end of the week.
