Hi
I usually do a fried green beans with bacon and onions, From what you have I would steam some carrots, broccoli, and cauliflower then add a herbed butter sauce, and for the starch a simple mashed potato’s with Parmesan and garlic.
Thank You
I would adapt this recipe by adding the cabbage that you have finely sliced, both kinds of onions, carrots as well as your broccoli and cauliflower. I have made this recipe before and it is DELICIOUS!!! Good luck!!!!

*QUINOA STUFFED CABBAGE LEAVES*
Chop carrots, onions, broccoli, cauliflower very fine. Cook quinoa and chopped veggies in chicken broth with spices.
While quinoa and veggies cook, separate the cabbage leaves and steam them for a few minutes until they are soft and don’t break when handling them.
Place two cabbage leaves one on top of the other, put some quinoa mix in the center and fold cabbage leaves to make a small bundle. Estimate one per person.
Steam to heat through.
Enjoy!
