Southern Cabbage Recipe
Note* If you are making this for a special
occasion, definitely make it the day before and just reheat it in the
microwave. It taste great the day you make it, but once it’s had a chance to
soak up those flavorful juices. OMG delish!!!
This is a very basic (but
flavorful) cabbage recipe. If you wanna add a lil spunk to your cabbage throw
in some sautéed onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, and smoked meat. Yum!
Ingredients
- 1 head of cabbage
- 2 Tablespoons butter
- 2 Tablespoons olive oil
- seasoning salt and balck pepper, to taste
- 2 cups chicken broth (can also use water but chicken broth makes it taste so delish!)
Instructions
- Cut Cabbage into quarters, removing the hard stem.
- Slice each quarter into 1-inch wide strips.
- In a large pot, add butter, olive oil, salt, pepper, & cabbage.
- Add in chicken broth and toss.
- Bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Cover and reduce heat to medium low.
- Simmer for 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally until cabbage is tender. Do not overcook.
Tip: “Don’t boil the
cabbage, simmer it!”
It cuts the smell of
cabbage. Some folks say that if you add in a bit of vinegar or lemon juice
while cooking, it will greatly reduce the smell. Hmmm…I’ll have to give it a
try one day.
