Steps:

• Cut cabbage into wedges and place them in a single layer on a baking sheet. Pour 1/2 cup of water on the bottom of the baking sheet.

MOM'S COLE SLAW OR CABBAGE SALAD

Steps:

• Soak cabbage halves in salt water to cover about 20 minutes.
• Rinse cabbage and rinse the bowl.
• Add A LITTLE salt (not too much) and rub into cabbage hard with your hands. Taste for salt. You don't rip the cabbage halves apart to do this; just rub the outside surfaces, because you have to sliver the cabbage in the next step, and you don't want it all messy. (I am not sure why this step is even necessary, but those were the original instructions.).
• Cut the cabbage into fine slivers and place in a large bowl.
• Grate in the carrot (1 if the cabbage head is small; 2 if large).
• Finely dice the green pepper. Mix well. (I didn't show an amount for the green pepper - it is not one of the main vegetables - just use enough to have flecks here and there in the salad, unless you want more.).
• Add mayonnaise - just enough to coat. Mix through.
• Stop here if you want grated cabbage salad.
• Continue with the recipe if you want cole slaw:.
• Mix 1 part apple cider vinegar to 2 parts water.
• Add gradually to cabbage mixture; taste for seasoning.
• Sweeten with whatever sweetener you want to use.
• Cover and refrigerate for a few hours or more for the flavors to develop.

MOM'S CABBAGE SOUP

Steps:

• For the soup: Heat the olive oil in a stockpot over medium heat. Add the onion, celery, carrots and garlic and cook, stirring often, until the onions are translucent (not browned), about 8 minutes. Add salt, black pepper and crushed red pepper flakes to your desired preference. Then stir in the fresh tomatoes, canned tomatoes and vegetable stock and bring the entire mixture to a boil.
• Once boiling, stir in the cabbage and beans and keep it simmering, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender, 35 to 40 minutes. Add more stock or water if you prefer more liquid and taste and season with more salt and pepper, if necessary. When finished, sprinkle over and stir in the parsley for color and flavor.
• Ladle the soup into bowls and serve with crostini or garlic bread, if desired.
• For the crostini: Preheat your oven to 350 degrees F.
• Place the bread slices on a baking sheet. Brush the tops with olive oil. You can also smear minced garlic over the top, if desired.
• Bake until crunchy and golden brown, 15 to 20 minutes. Take the crostini out of the oven, drizzle the tops with olive oil and sprinkle sea salt over the top.
