This recipe makes a big batch. Serve this on the side when feeding a large group. Refrigerate extras for later.
For variety, add apples or chickpeas.
Cabbage can be shredded using a box grater, hand grater, food processor or cut with a knife.
Cabbage is very versatile and can be added to other dishes! Add any leftover cabbage to soups, stews and stir-fries for extra flavour and texture.
