omg pls share som cabbage recipes!!!
I couldn't find the recipes in english, so I assume they're out cultural balkan dishes; I am not a very precise cook but I can explain what I'm doing.
One of my favourite ways to eat cabbage is 'Cabbage Pasta', we call it 'little cloths' because the pasta we use is usually cut like little cloths. This is how it's done: you sautee some onion, garlic and spices on oil, then you add cabbage, cut neatly into small pieces (they can be rectangular pieces, it's not super important), then you add half a glass of water and cover it up and let the cabbage take in all of the spices and alliums. It should cook like that for 10-15 minutes, or until the cabbage is soft, then you add in pre-cooked pasta in! You let it all cook together for a bit so the pasta takes in the flavour too, and all of the water should be taken in by cabbage and pasta. And you're done! The spices used in this are usually salt and sweet paprika, you could use soy sauce too and add anything to your liking. It's absolutely delicious.
The second recipe is something I've had all of my life, it's like a stew maybe? But basically you also sautee some onions, garlic or whatever spice you want on some oil, add tomato paste or tomato juice, or you can go with freshly cut tomatoes as well, add water, and put in cut cabbage and potatoes (you can also add carrots and more vegetables!). It's very delicious when it cooks down like that. I also like to add just a spoon of vinegar in it, I seem to like the added acidity.
Other ways I like to eat it is in a salad of course, and in spring rolls!
One really popular cultural recipe here is 'filled cabbage', and I've never actually made it, our name for it is 'sarma', which I can't really translate into anything. It's made by specifically preparing the fermented cabbage leaves, so they can serve as a wrapping for a mix of rice, meat and spices. Then they're all cooked in a broth with alliums, spices, more cabbage and tomato paste. I could do it with rice and soy, but it's honestly intimidating for me to try, the leaves need to be wrapped just so the entire thing doesn't fall apart, and I first need to figure out correct fermenting methods for cabbage.
Everyone else drop your favourite ways to eat cabbage as well! Add cabbage recipes for the anon :)

Okay okay okay here’s v2.0 and 1.0 of my current dnd character Dolores Snapbristle, or Lora as she goes by.
The second pic was a quick drawing of her just to get an idea down, while the first was made directly after in a “oh shit wait I actually need to flesh this girl out” lol
She’s a hexblood sorlock who I only *just* started playing. She’s very nosey and loves her little trinkets and baubles.

Sretan dan državnosti !
30 may is important holiday for Croats. It started in 1990 when the first multi-party parliment convented. First it was seen more as idenpendence day, but Ivica Račan decided to move it to 25 june and use 30 may more as memorial day.
