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
- 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.
- A big saucepan of salted water should be brought to a boil. To add flavor to the boiling water, add bacon fat or bacon.
- Put the cabbage wedges into the water and boil for 8-12 minutes, or until cabbage wedges are tender.
- Drain well, sprinkle with butter, and season to taste with salt and pepper
There are some recipe notes to take note of:
- For added taste, broth can be used instead of water.
- If desired, top with crispy bacon bits.
- If preferred, the cabbage can be sliced into 1″ strips rather than wedges.
