The Simplest Way To Serve Boiled Cabbage Is Also The Best
BY JAVARIA AKBAR
The boiling process brings out the inherent sweetness and aroma of cabbage, as well as softening its tough texture until it becomes invitingly toothsome.
The heat from the boiling water also opens up the cabbage leaves as they soften, revealing the beautiful layered design hidden inside this ordinary-looking vegetable.
Adding salt to the water as it cooks ensures that each wedge of cabbage is well-seasoned throughout its body, in the same way that pasta soaks up salt as it boils.
Once the cabbage is cooked, place it on your dish and spread melted butter all over its cut surface using a pastry brush so it can dribble into every nook and cranny.
A generous slick of butter and a dusting of black pepper is all you need to create a delectable side dish with a meaty texture.
