Cabbage is an unsung hero of the vegetable kingdom. Use to make slaws and salads, Indian-inspired curries and fermented foods like sauerkraut and kimchi. Low in calories, cabbage is a good source of many vitamins and minerals, iron and calcium. Use this recipe as a template—add more or less onion, herbs, and season to taste. You could use poppy seeds, sesame seeds or even finely chopped nuts in place of the chia.
