These savoy cabbage recipes are a great option when you're looking to cut back on carbohydrates and increase your vegetable intake. The leaves of savoy cabbage are great for using in place of tortillas or bread. Plus, cabbage is low in calories and has been linked with helping with weight loss. Recipes like Cabbage Roll Chicken Enchiladas and Peanut-Tofu Cabbage Wraps are healthy, delicious and a great way to use this vegetable.

Mediterranean Couscous Cabbage Rolls

<p>We love the subtle flavor of cinnamon with fresh mint in these vegetarian cabbage rolls stuffed with couscous, olives and feta cheese. Don't worry if your cabbage leaves tear a little when you pull them off the head; they will wrap up just fine. As a precaution you can cook a couple extra leaves and roll two partly overlapping if needed. Serve with roasted butternut squash tossed with olive oil, cinnamon and garlic. To double this recipe, use 2 large skillets and prepare one 4-serving recipe in each. Source: EatingWell Magazine, November/December 2010</p>

Egg Roll-Inspired Cabbage Rolls

Think of these cabbage rolls as a healthier riff on classic Chinese egg rolls! Cabbage leaves stand in for the traditional fried wonton wrappers, but we promise they won't be missed. It's worth it to make this better-than-takeout Chinese recipe at home. Feel free to substitute ground turkey or tofu crumbles for the pork in this recipe. Source: EatingWell.com, May 2020

Roasted Savoy Cabbage with Orange Vinaigrette

View Recipe this link opens in a new tab

Easy Savoy cabbage recipes can be far and few between, especially ones that are as delicious as this whole roasted cabbage. The outer cabbage leaves blacken during the long cooking time, but when removed they reveal a meltingly tender center. Orange blossom water adds delicate aroma to the vinaigrette that's drizzled on top. Serve alongside roast beef or pork, or over mashed potatoes as a main course. Source: EatingWell Magazine, November 2019

Spinach Cannelloni with Cabbage & Smoked Mozzarella

<p>At Ristorante il San Pietro in the Piedmont of Italy, they use scamorza affumicata, an aged smoked mozzarella, but smoked fresh mozzarella works too in this healthy homemade vegetarian pasta recipe. You can substitute dry pasta, such as cannelloni or manicotti, for the fresh. Cook 12 noodles according to package directions, then stuff and sauce them. Source: EatingWell Magazine, March/April 2018</p>

This wholesome sweet-and-sour soup combines beef, caraway seeds, sweet paprika and cabbage--ingredients that star in a number of German dishes. It is particularly nice served with crusty rye bread.
