Equipment

  • 1 Cutting Board
  • 1 Knife
  • 1 Frying Pan/Skillet
  • Measuring cups and spoons
  • 1 Serving Platter

Ingredients

  • 1 unit cabbage medium head
  • tsp salt plus extra to taste
  • 3 tbsp unsalted butter melted
  • freshly ground black pepper to taste

Instructions

  • Rinse the cabbage and cut it into six wedges.
  • Add about 1/2 inch of lightly salted water to a large skillet or Dutch oven, cover, and bring to a boil. Add cabbage wedges and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Simmer, covered, for 8 to 10 minutes.
  • Turn cabbage carefully, and simmer for an additional 8 minutes.
  • Pour off the water and return the pan to low heat until the moisture has evaporated.
  • Add the melted butter and mix to coat the boiled cabbage thoroughly.
  • Sprinkle the cabbage with salt and pepper, seasoning to taste.

Notes

  1. To test whether the cabbage is done, insert a small paring knife in the densest part of the cabbage near the core. If the knife slides through smoothly, the cabbage is tender and ready to be served.
  2. You can use chicken or vegetable broth in place of water.
  3. You can also replace salt with a seasoned blend. If the seasoning is salt-free, add salt to taste.
  4. Drizzle the cabbage with hot sauce to get a tastier bite.
