The Ideal Way To Prep And Boil Cabbage For The Most Tender Results
BY EMMY SCHNEIDER-GREEN
Boiled cabbage may sound boring, but with an easy prep method that takes less than 20 minutes, it can be tender, delicious, and worthy of a place as a nutritious side.
Remove the outermost leaves of a cabbage head, remove the root, and cut the rest into thin ribbons or large wedges. Cook the cabbage in salted, boiling water for 5 to 15 minutes.
Drain and dress the cabbage with butter and salt. Feel free to add herbs, vinegar, liquid aminos, or soy sauce and enjoy the silky, delicious leaves with a lightly savory flavor.
For this recipe, you can use green cabbage, a red or savoy kind, or use a blend for a variety of textures and colors, but note that different types may not cook at the same rate.
