I've been having a similar problem. I love cabbage, but one a week becomes too much.
A friend sourced a fantastic recipe book the boxing clever cookbook
Which has heaps of great recipes for you box veggies.

last night we had the cabbage strudel, which we served with potatoes and a cheese sauce.
The strudel is a mix of lightly sauted cabbage and onion mixed with chopped cooking apple, some chopped dates, yoghurt, mustard wrapped in Filo pastry and baked. I put some chopped juniper berries into the sauted cabbage and used Puff pastry instead of Filo.

I've also made:
cabbage carrot and onion curry
swede with spinach
elderberry ketchup
all from thisbook
