Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 small head of cabbage
  • 2 tablespoons of butter, melted
  • salt and pepper for seasoning
  • bacon fat or 2 slices bacon (optional)

Instructions

  1. Remove any cabbage leaves that are discolored. To keep the wedges together, cut the head of cabbage in half and cut each half into 1 1/2″ wedges, leaving the root intact.
  2. A big saucepan of salted water should be brought to a boil. To add flavor to the boiling water, add bacon fat or bacon.
  3. Put the cabbage wedges into the water and boil for 8-12 minutes, or until cabbage wedges are tender.
  4. Drain well, sprinkle with butter, and season to taste with salt and pepper

There are some recipe notes to take note of:

  1. For added taste, broth can be used instead of water.
  2. If desired, top with crispy bacon bits.
  3. If preferred, the cabbage can be sliced into 1″ strips rather than wedges.
