Method
 

  1. Choose 2 to 3 sides that balance the cabbage casserole with fresh or crunchy elements, starches, and protein or sauces.
  2. Start cooking the longest-time sides first, such as roasted carrots or chicken thighs, and finish with quicker sides like salads or sauces.
  3. Serve the casserole plated with selected sides, adding any included sauces or garnishes to complete the meal.

Notes

Choose a fresh salad side and keep it separate until serving to prevent a heavy or mushy texture on the plate.
