Fortunately cabbage is very reasonably priced here and we can get it at any
time. I am however surprised about the goiterogenic effects and that people
with hypothyroidism need to avoid members of the cabbage family.
I looked up the symptoms of hypothyroidism and I am going to ask my Doctor
about my thyroid as I have been having lower than normal heart rates and I
do eat lots of raw cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower.

Meantime here is a quick cabbage recipe that I use:

Cabbage and Beef Casserole (Lazy Cabbage Rolls)
5 servings approximately 285 calories each

1 lb. lean hamburger 500g
4 cups shredded cabbage 1 L
½ cup uncooked rice 125 ml
½ cup chopped onion 125 ml
1 tsp. garlic salt 5 ml
½ tsp. pepper 2 ml
1½ cups * Low-Calorie Tomato Sauce
375 ml
½ cup water

Brown hamburger in casserole dish in 375°F (190°C) oven for 30 minutes.
Remove from oven, and place hamburger in colander to drain fat. Place
cabbage in casserole dish, Mix remaining ingredients with hamburger and pour
over cabbage. Cover and bake at 325°F (160°C) for 1 hour.

Note - I add a bit more water or tomato juice, a couple of tbspns. as I find
the rice isn't quite tender enough for me without adding more liquid.

This recipe mentions using Low-Calorie Tomato Sauce so I have included the
recipe here, plus the caloric count for this sauce has been included in the
cabbage recipe already.

Low-Calorie Tomato Sauce
1 cup servings approximately 60 calories each

½ cup finely grated carrots 125 ml
½ cup finely grated onion 125 ml
3 garlic cloves, minced 3
1 tsp. Worcestershire sauce 5 ml
28 oz. can tomatoes and juice 796 ml
10 oz. can tomato soup 284 ml
1 tsp. dill weed 5 ml
2 tbsp. parsley 30 ml
1 tsp. celery seed 5 ml
3 pkgs sugar substitute (= 6 tsp. [30 ml] sugar) 3 pkgs
1 tsp. salt 5 ml
½ tsp. pepper 2 ml
½ tsp. oregano 2 ml
½ tsp. thyme 2 ml
1 tsp. basil 5 ml
1 tsp. dry mustard 5 ml

Place all ingredients in blender or food processor and mix for about 30
seconds. Pour into a saucepan and bring to a boil. Simmer for 30 minutes.
Keep plenty of tomato sauce on hand, you will find many uses for it. It
freezes well.
