Cauliflower, Cabbage and Celery

[zenifa]

Okay ladies I really need your help with this one.

Now I will admit Cauliflower, Cabbage and Celery are not my fave vegetables BUT I have been given some for free from a friend's farm, and I don't want to wast them.

So I need some ideas and recipes of what to do with them.
Aside from soup and a risotto, I wonder what else I can do with them, either separately, together or in any other combination.

All ideas welcome!!:chef:

You could make vegetable soup or a 70s style chicken chow mein with them (you know, when cooking wasnt very adventurous but it still tasted good!!:p). Chop everything up along with some carrots and green beans.
Toss a packet of chicken noodle soup and 1/2 cup of rice into a saucepan and simmer 10 mins. Throw in the chopped vegies and simmer until rice is almost cooked. Add chopped cooked chicken and simmer 5 mins.

Or individually, you could make Cauliflower & cheese soup, Colcannen with the cabbage and chop the celery into sticks and have lots of yummy dips as a snack.

Changs fried noodles have a great cabbage salad recipe on the back.

cabbage rolls are really nice
you put mince meat and stuff in side the cabbage leaves and then wrap them in parcels and cook them in a tomato sauce liquid mmmmm

[lucyrose9]

you could puree the cooked cauliflour then coat small peices of chicken in the puree then place in the oven like a chicken nugget i make this with broccoli good way to get kids to eat vegetables.

Cauliflour is also nice in a veg curry.

celerey and peanut butter
