I love cabbage, however never really knew how to cook it. I had always had it either raw or boiled with corned beef and potatoes, but was never fond of how overly "crunchy" or "mushy" the consistency was. I craved the flavor, but wanted a way to cook it, so it would still have a bit of a crunch to it, yet be soft. One day I decided to just sauté it in a pan with butter and salt, and it was fantastic! It had everything I wanted...the flavor, it was crisp yet soft, and melts in your mouth!! The best part, is that it's so simple to make :) This side is a great option for springtime meals, such as corned beef or even a roasted chicken.
Here's what you'll need:
1 fresh cabbage
2-3 tbsp of butter
salt to taste
First step, wash the cabbage.
Cut the cabbage in half down the middle, then cut into large chunks. I cut out the core and throw that part away, however keep the remaining white part of the cabbage; it's good and crunchy.
Melt the butter in the pan, until is starts to slightly brown.
Add all of the cabbage. Do not worry if it seems crowded, it will cook down. Sprinkle with salt and cook on medium-high, until it starts to brown.
Continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until all of the cabbage has browned. However, be careful not to burn it. Taste and add a little more salt if necessary. Then serve and enjoy!
