A quick, easy, and delicious way to enjoy cabbage. Chopped cabbage is boiled until tender but then sauteed in oil to give it flavor and texture.


serves/makes:
  
ready in:
  under 30 minutes

ingredients

1 small head cabbage
1/2 cup water
4 tablespoons corn oil
salt, to taste
black pepper, to taste

directions

Remove and discard the tough outer leaves of the cabbage. Coarsely chop the cabbage.

Bring the water to a boil in a deep skillet. Add the cabbage and oil. Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to a simmer. Let cook for 15 minutes or until the cabbage is soft.

Drain off any excess liquid in the skillet and cook for 1-2 more minutes to cook off any remaining liquid. Season the cabbage with salt and pepper. Serve immediately.

recipe tips


Add some chopped onions along with the cabbage.

Consider adding a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice to the cabbage for a more tangy flavor.

Garnish with fresh herbs like parsley or dill.

If you prefer a softer texture, cook the cabbage for an additional 5 minutes.

Experiment with different types of cabbage.

common recipe questions


Can I add other seasonings to the cabbage?

Yes, you can add garlic powder, onion powder, or a pinch of red pepper flakes. Or, get creative with your favorite spice blends

How do I know when the cabbage is perfectly cooked?

The cabbage should be tender but not mushy. Taste a piece to see if the texture is what you want it to be.

How should leftovers be stored?

Store in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.

Can I make this dish ahead of time?

This dish can be made ahead of time and refrigerated. Reheat it in the microwave or in a skillet with a little liquid.

Can I use red cabbage instead of green cabbage?

Yes, red cabbage can be used.

What should I serve this dish with?

It can be served alongside a variety of main course. We like it with roast pork, grilled sausage, bbq ribs, etc. It seems to pair best with heartier proteins but really it's quite flexible.
