What to do with excess cabbage?

Anonymous
The grocery store delivered us four heads of cabbage (we didn't order any). Any recipe ideas for what to do with it? I've only sautéed cabbage so I'm kind of at a lost of what to do.

If you like garlic, this cabbage slaw is insanely good. You can substitute thinly sliced cabbage for the cole slaw mix. I make these fish tacos with Costco beer-battered cod and flour tortillas. It’s a great summer dinner.

You can also make some chicken or pork tonkatsu and lay it on a bed of shredded cabbage and rice. Yum!

I roast it. It cook down and carmelizes beautifully.

In addition to the good suggestions above, I jam cabbage into everything. Ramen, salad, tuna salad, on burgers, etc.

My experience is it lasts pretty well in the fridge as well so I don't think you need to cook it all immediately.

Sauerkraut. All you need is a scale, a ton of salt, and some oversized mason jars from IKEA. 3% salinity brine (just do 3% of the cabbage's weight in salt + 3% brine for any brine you add to keep everything submerged), then let it sit for a few days. Refrigerate after a few weeks at most, but probably 1-2 weeks is best. It'll keep your cabbage good for up to a year.

You may not want to roast a chicken right now, but cabbage keeps. When the temperature drops a little, make this:

Choucroute (sauerkraut), of course. It's delicious year round.

My kids would happily eat egg roll in a bowl every week.
