Okay some of you may be saying, "Cabbage? Yuck!" I can't blame you. Most cabbage served in restaurants is boiled making it gross and bitter and slimy. But cabbage is actually delicious if you cook it right.
Ingredients
1 small head of cabbage or 1/2 of a large head, rinsed and chopped* 2 T. butter salt and pepper
Preparation
1. Heat a large pan over medium heat, then melt butter in the pan. Add the cabbage and saute until it reaches your desired tenderness, about 15-20 minutes. Add salt and pepper to taste.
That's it! It's easy and so delicious!
*A lot of the times the cabbage sold in the grocery store is HUGE. So I will cut it in half and only cook 1/2 at a time. There are several reasons for this. First, half of a big cabbage is more than enough for two people. Secondly, I have a pretty large pan and even half a cabbage is almost too much for it (maybe if you have a wok you could try cooking the whole thing). Thirdly, although you can reheat cabbage and it's okay, it's much better freshly cooked and I would rather save the other half and cook it later in the week than have to microwave it.
