Cabbage can be frozen directly without being blanched, but for cabbage intended for soups and casseroles requiring cooked cabbage, water-blanch convenient sized wedges for 3 to 4 minutes or steam blanch them for 4 to 6 minutes. Whole leaves or shredded cabbage can be water-blanched for 1 1/2 minutes. Cool promptly and drain. Freeze in airtight packaging.
INGREDIENTS:
1 lb. ground beef
1 lg. onion, chopped
1 green pepper, chopped (optional)
3/4 c. plain raw rice
1 sm. head green cabbage, chopped coarsely
1 can tomato soup plus 1/2 can water
1 (15 oz.) can tomato sauce
DIRECTIONS:
Saute hamburger and onions until meat is done and onions are transparent. Add green pepper (if desired) and cook 3 minutes more. Salt and pepper to taste. Drain.
Mix all other ingredients together. Rice will cook as dish cooks. Add meat and onion mixture. Place in casserole dish and bake at 350 degrees about 1 1/2 hours or until most of the liquid is cooked down.
A delightful meal-in-one that reduces all the toil of making stuffed cabbage.

(this is one of my favorite ways to cook cabbage! I even make it with cabbage I have blanched and then frozen – just thaw and drain and excess moisture of the cabbage before cooking. One note – depending on the variety of rice you use, you may wish to partially cook your rice before mixing. I cook my rice halfway, then drain it and proceed with the rest of the recipe. Depending on how “juicy” you want your casserole to be, you can reduce the amount of water you add, if you choose to pre-cook the rice. ENJOY! – Charity)

Many recipes use the root of the radish plant, but a quick online search will show you that there are lots of recipes for the greens, too!
Ingredients:
Directions:
In a bowl toss together the radishes, the cabbage, the carrots, the onion, the lemon juice, the sugar, the oil, the herbs, and salt and pepper to taste.
This could also be good without the cabbage.
