Doll up your Napa Cabbage by making Lettuce Wraps!
Here’s the skinny on making wraps…but remember , what makes wraps so much fun is they’re so versatile! So experiment! Let your cooking-scientist come out to play!
Chop up Chicken (or leave out if vegetarian) peanuts, watercress, carrots and red chilies if you dare.
You can even use a food processor to blend them up real small. Put a spoonful of the mixture on a cabbage leaf and roll ‘em up. Enjoy!
Cabbage Soup!
You can cut your cabbage into big chunks, add some kale, collards, carrots, turnips, and meat if you please. Mix in some wild rice, or buckwheat and season any way you like. For more soup ideas check out our Soup Dilemma!
Roasted Veg Fest!
Another way to dish up some tasty veggies is to take your root veggies like rutabagas, beets, carrots, turnips, and chop them into chunks. Roast in a 425 degree oven. (Because of the high temp you won’t want to coat with olive oil, but you can opt to use a high temp tolerant oil like peanut or coconut if you like.) If you roast without any oil you can add olive oil to them after cooking and season as you like. Very tasty & surprisingly sweet!
Another option is to put your chopped roots in a baking dish, add some water and cover. Bake in a 400-425 degree oven. This steams/roasts them.
Suggestions….
Turnips are fairly bitter raw, so if you use them in a salad keep this in mind. You might find you enjoy them more cooked.
You can use long green onions/scallions as a garnish on most dishes. They are great toppings for soups and very tasty in wraps.
