Tried making cabbage stew for the first time.
The instructions I followed called for 1kg of cabbage, so I got a 2kg one intending to halve it.
Of course I didn't actually remember to do that in the actual moment of getting it done, so supplementing it instead of 1kg of carrot and 4 onions it has ~250g of carrot and 2 onions >.>

Heh, lol. I will have to try making cabbage soup. I usually stir fry cabbage. Cabbage and sausage is one of my favorite childhood dishes. (Usually using summer sausage, or deer meat sausage. Beef is good too.)

Although, cabbage is a great base or major item for Asian stir fries too.

But cabbage works well with strong meat flavors. (Liver and gizzards can work, but I personally prefer sausage.) and it both reduces Down quite a bit and gives you a lot of volume for thru weight so it is filling. Not potato level filling. But more than say carrots, celery, peas, etc. but it is heartier than most leafy greens like kale, spinach, etc.

I usually don't do it with chicken as chicken is a bit mild. So I like pairing it with a veggie that is more impactful. Like peppers. Larger amounts of onion. Or something chunky and crisp, like broccoli. (Potatoes work if it is seasoned well. I prefer eggs and potatoes to chicken and potatoes though.)
