cabbage as a bread substitute?

[pixi_kitten]

I have an intense need for easy food to bring with me to work for breakfast. Due to the work I do, I have to "sneak" the fact that I'm eating there at all (it's something that we all do and it doesn't endanger anything, but it's a pain

I think it'll work.

I hope so

Does cabbage fall apart when cooked? I've never had it except shredded so I don't know of its properties...

yeah. me too. We can eat in the breakroom on our scheduled lunch breaks, but I work around computers so they don't want stuff all over them (which I understand, but most of us are adult enough to not slop things all over or eat tacos/pasta/ice cream or anything that generally gets on things. and I've heard of napkins, unlike a lot of the people I work with)
It's understandable, but annoying for those of us that eat more than 3 meals a day or those of us that work at 5 am and NEED food! lol

When fully cooked, cabbage is pretty much as together as raw lettuce. I would agree with the notion to blanche.

It seems like it should work. I bought a collard green wrap (meaning a bunch of vegetables wrapped in collard greens) for lunch at the Farmer's Market today, and it worked well, so cabbage could probably also work.

I'm hoping so! If not, I'm going to have to figure out how to use the majority of a head of cooked cabbage! lol

Do it, that sounds delish.

Doesn't it though? I mean, I guess my thought process is that if it works, why is it not in a billion blogs/cookbooks/etc for vegans/gluten intolerant/low carb peoples??

I know I like to use napa cabbage as a substitute for flour tortilla wraps. I say go for it.

I'm getting all excited to try it now!
