Braised Cabbage

Braised Cabbage

My recipe for Braised Cabbage turns ordinary, humble cabbage into a tender and savory side that goes with everything. Try the best cabbage seasoned with salt and pepper, and just a tab of butter. It’s a great way to get your vegetables in. The slow cooking process brings out the natural sweetness of the cabbage, mellowing any bitterness.
