Time 13m

Yield 2

Number Of Ingredients 3

1/4 small cabbage (thinly sliced)
2 tablespoons unsalted butter
Salt (to taste)

Steps:

  • Gather the ingredients.
  • Place the sliced cabbage in a small microwave-safe casserole dish.
  • Add 1/4 inch of water.
  • Cover and microwave on high for 8 minutes. (If your microwave doesn't have a turntable, rotate the dish 1/4 turn halfway through cooking.)
  • Drain the water from the dish.
  • Add the butter and salt. Serve and enjoy.
  • Fill a large pot with water and set a steam basket or metal colander on top of the pot. The water in the pot should be just below the basket.
  • Bring the water to a boil, then add the sliced cabbage to the basket.
  • Cover the basket with a lid and steam until the cabbage is tender and crisp. Most cabbage takes about 5 to 8 minutes. Some varieties like napa, bok choy, and savoy cabbage may only take 3 to 5 minutes. (If using a colander, be sure that you leave a little space so the steam can escape. Tilting the lid works quite well.)
  • Remove the cabbage from the basket and add butter and salt.
  • Serve and enjoy.

(MY WAY OF ) STEAMED CABBAGE



(My Way of ) Steamed Cabbage image

I remember when I was growing up watching my great aunt cook and listening to all her tips on cooking and was thinking about her fried cabbage.... so this morning (new years day) I decided to use up the cabbage I had left in the refrigerator. I added my own touch to my aunts way of steaming. She just usually steamed her cabbage in bacon grease, I like to kick my food up just a notch! :) The measurements in this recipe might be off a bit but the main thing is getting the flavor of the spices.

Time 30m

Yield 4-6 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 11

1 small head of cabbage, shredded
onion, chopped
1 cup fresh mushrooms, sliced and chopped
1 teaspoon margarine (I use I Can't Believe Its Not Butter)
3 tablespoons bacon grease
2 teaspoons black pepper
1 teaspoon beau monde seasoning
1/2 teaspoon salt, to your taste (I use Accent)
1/2 teaspoon seasoning salt (I use Johnny's seasoning salt)

Pam cooking spray (cooking sray)

  • In a large frying pan on medium heat, spray pan with Pam.
  • Add bacon grease, turn heat down.

BUTTERY STEAMED CABBAGE



Buttery Steamed Cabbage image

It's surprising really, but simple buttered steamed cabbage is a delicacy. Steaming transforms this vegetable into a delectable dish.

Provided by Vered DeLeeuw

Categories     Side Dish

Time 20m

Number Of Ingredients 7

1 medium cabbage ((2 lb. trimmed))
4 tablespoons unsalted butter
1 tablespoon minced fresh garlic
1 teaspoon Diamond Crystal kosher salt
1/4 teaspoon black pepper
1/8 teaspoon red pepper flakes
1/8 teaspoon dried parsley

Steps:

  • Trim the cabbage, then shred it. To shred, cut the cabbage in half, then slice each half into thin slices and separate the slices with your hands into strips, as shown in the video below. Place the strips in a colander and rinse.
  • Transfer the rinsed cabbage to a large, deep skillet, without drying it off - the water adhering to the cabbage will allow it to steam. You can a tablespoon of water to the bottom of the pan, but I usually don't find it necessary.
  • Turn the heat to medium-high and cover the skillet. When the cabbage starts to steam, which should take about a minute, lower the heat to medium.
  • Steam, covered, for about 5 minutes. Uncover, stir, and cook for 2 more minutes to allow any remaining water to evaporate. If you still have too much water in the pan, you can drain it into a colander.
  • Add the butter, garlic, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine. Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring, until the butter has melted. Garnish, if desired, with dried parsley and red pepper flakes. Serve warm.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, firm cabbage heads with tightly packed leaves for the best results.
  • Wash the cabbage thoroughly under running water to remove any dirt or debris.
  • Use a sharp knife to cut the cabbage into wedges or desired shapes.
  • Season the cabbage with salt, pepper, and other desired seasonings before steaming.
  • Steaming time may vary depending on the thickness of the cabbage wedges, so check for tenderness with a fork or knife.
  • For added flavor, you can add a knob of butter, a drizzle of olive oil, or a sprinkle of grated Parmesan cheese to the steamed cabbage.
  • Serve the steamed cabbage immediately as a side dish or incorporate it into other dishes such as stir-fries, soups, or salads.

Conclusion:

In conclusion, steaming cabbage is a simple yet effective cooking method that preserves its nutrients, vibrant color, and delicate flavor. With its versatility, steamed cabbage can be enjoyed on its own, paired with various main courses, or incorporated into a wide range of culinary creations. So, embrace the goodness of steamed cabbage and let it become a staple in your healthy and delicious meals.
