I’m not just talking about kimchi, sauerkraut or stuffed cabbage. Cabbage is a versatile vegetable that’s great for braising, chopping, grilling, pickling, roasting or in soups. The layers and folds beautifully hold and absorb sauces and smoke. I’ve enjoyed many delicious Los Angeles cabbage preparations since 2023. I’ll spare you biological details about brassicas (their genus) and the word cruciferous. If you’re interested, look them up. In the meantime, enjoy these standout Los Angeles cabbage preparations when they’re in season and available. Check back with restaurants for N/A cabbage dishes.
