What goes next to stuffed cabbage, as in starch and/or vegetable? Stuffed cabbage is actually a nice one-dish, since it has all the components, but I can't serve just that on yom tov.

Mashed potatoes and tossed salad.
saute onions before yom tov and boil your potatoes on yom tov.
Gut yom tov

If your cabbage is stuffed with meat (as opposed to rice), then rice works nicely.

I'd go with the mashed potatoes & sauteed onions as well. Add salt and pepper to taste of course. You may want to add some margarine (if necessary) for a smoother consistency.
Another option; Boil potatoes and sweet potatoes together, 2/3 potatoes / 1/3 sweet potatoes. Mash with a small amount of margarine to give it a soft and smooth consistency. Add salt and dash of pepper to taste. If you prefer this mix with sauted onions (delish!), omit the margarine.
Note; Sweet potatoes have a looser consistency than regular potatoes... To give it a firmer consistency omit the sauted onions. It tastes great without.
For a gourmet look, scoop into plate (or platter) with an ice cream scooper.
Good luck!

My cabbage is stuffed with meat and rice. 
My family is not enamored of mashed potatoes. Any other ideas?

Carrots sliced into coins (but not sweetened if your stuffed cabbage is sweet)
Green beans

I still think rice is nice ... what else would match it & taste good soaked in the sauce ...

I would be happy to send you some, as I have more than I need, but you really should become friends with my mother. Her stuffed cabbage is ten times better than mine and she lives in the USA, so you can even have her Fedex them to you....

I'm game ...
funny enough for some odd reason my dd#2 decided to make a cabbage soup - the stuck a complete head of cabbage in a pot & spiced it along with some other veggies ... it smelled like cabbage ... I had to convince her after they were peeling leaves off as a decorative bottom to the bowl that it must be cooked way longer & perhaps that she should shred it ...
then I had an epiphany that the poor cabbage would have made quite a loverly stuffed cabbage - if only she didn't make it in a milky pot ...

noodles and cabbage works nicely, or orzo with sauteed onions and pastrami bits and a tossed salad.

That gave me an idea. I bought something called farfel but it's little squares instead of what I always thought of as farfel. I think that would work instead of orzo. Thanks!
Do you add anything besides the onions and pastrami (and s/p, I imagine)?

I usually just add sauteed onions and pastrami bits and whaterver grease is left over from the frying pan and salt and pepper- if making in advance and reheating I would put a bit of chicken stock in for the reheat so it stays soft. careful with the salt as the pastrami is salty....
