Napa Cabbage

We got a head of Napa cabbage from the CSA a few weeks ago, but weren't sure what to do with it. We finally made it tonight, using a loose interpretation of this recipe for Warm Apple-Cabbage Slaw (I used cranberry juice and added Craisins). We served it with corn from the farm and oven-"fried" tilapia. It was a delicious meal!

I also considered a bunch of other recipes before finally choosing one:

• Poppyseed Cole Slaw
• Napa Cabbage Salad with Lemon-Pistachio Vinaigrette
• Sesame Napa Cabbage Coleslaw
• Cabbage-Red Pepper Slaw
• Napa Cabbage, Carrot and Almond Slaw
• Napa Cabbage Slaw with Caribbean Citrus Dressing
• Chinese Cabbage and Peanut Slaw

(although this didn't happen tonight when I cut it and I don't think that our knives are stainless steel...)
