What to do with over 5kg of cabbage

A quick visit to the allotment to harvest the cabbages that look past their prime.

When trimming them there are more leaves discarded than salvaged. The slugs and worms are quite disgusting. Still, there was over 5kg of cabbage to process and find uses for. A mixture of crisp white cabbage and savoy cabbage rescued just in the nick of time.

Looked up a sauerkraut recipe but it seems you have to work it over tens of days and it involves skimming off scum from fermented juices. Strangely enough, I didn't feel like doing it after all. Though I made a great potato and sauerkraut bake (from a jar) tonight.

Stir fried the cabbage with stock and lemon juice and added a couple of tablespoons of sherry as suggested. Hope to find something to do with it all soon.

Vast amounts of coleslaw was made last weekend but it's a week later and I still don't feel like cabbage when I get home.

Excited to see the elephant garlic is sprouting - fingers crossed. It's amazing roasted on french bread.
