Here is an easy St. Patty’s Day recipe for our veggie baskets, using your cabbage and the green onions.  Of course you must have a little beer for the dish, too.

Ingredients:
1 – 2 T olive oil
3 or more green onions, chopped
2 t peeled, minced fresh ginger, or 1/2 t dried, powdered ginger
small head of cabbage, shredded
1 12 oz. stout beer, Guinness, for example, or other dark beer
salt and pepper, to taste

Preparation:
Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add onion and sauté for about 3 minutes.
Add ginger and continue cooking for another minute or two.
Add cabbage and stir to mix with onion and ginger.
Pour in beer (it will foam up) stirring all the while.
Add salt and pepper.
Bring to a simmer, and lower heat, cover, and cook until cabbage is tender or to your liking–10 minutes or so. You may want to uncover the cabbage after the first five minutes and turn the heat up slightly to allow some of the liquid to evaporate. Or, just use a slotted spoon to remove the cabbage for serving (or not).

*If you are a meat eater, you can easily add brats to this pot and after the 10 minutes of simmer, finish cooking the brats on the grill.   Make sure they soak up plenty of the stoat while in the pot, though.  This is a great meal.
