CABBAGE OF OSTRACISM
Ethiopian Cabbage. A favorite, and not really prompting ostracism... honest... For a complete Ethiopian feast, make this dish with (other recipes from my book): - Lentils of Doom - Tofu Dorowat (if you like tofu, or are accomodating a vegetarian... chicken otherwise) - Beef Stew in Berbere Sauce Making these four dishes together, you can: - Pick up one lg white onion and chop it finely. Split it four ways between the dishes. - Pick up one 28-oz can of crushed tomatoes and split it between the Dorowat and Beef Stew Start the beef early, then the dorowat. Then, do the lentils (assuming pre-cooked potatoes) and cabbage. Pick up some Enjera (that amazing yummy bread). Live in Calgary? Pick it up fresh at Amy's Confectionary on 7th between 11AM and 5PM. YUMM!!!

Steps:
- Cut the cabbage in half and, with the cut-side down, slice it as thinly as possible around the core, as though you were making coleslaw. Discard the core.
- Melt the butter in a large saute pan or heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage, salt, and pepper and saute for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and begins to brown. Season, to taste, and serve warm.
Tips:
- Choose the right cabbage: Select a firm, heavy cabbage with tightly packed leaves.
- Prepare the cabbage properly: Remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves. Cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and thinly slice or shred the cabbage.
- Use a variety of cooking methods: Cabbage can be boiled, steamed, stir-fried, roasted, or grilled. Each method produces a different texture and flavor.
- Add flavorings: Cabbage has a mild flavor, so it pairs well with a variety of seasonings and ingredients. Try adding garlic, onion, ginger, soy sauce, or vinegar to your cabbage dishes.
- Don't overcook the cabbage: Cabbage should be cooked until tender, but not mushy. Overcooked cabbage will lose its nutrients and flavor.
Conclusion:
Cabbage is a versatile and affordable vegetable that can be used in a variety of dishes. It is a good source of vitamins, minerals, and fiber. By following these tips, you can create delicious and healthy cabbage recipes that your whole family will enjoy.
