Frizzled Cabbage

Recipe #83524 | 25 min | 5 min prep | SERVES 2 (Change Servings)

RECIPE BY: Boxerwing

Raise the lowly cabbage to something extraordinary! This technique of sauteeing brings out a wonderful sweetness you never knew existed in cabbage. You can add different spices to this recipe: curry, caraway seeds, or hot pepper sauce are just suggestions. But try it plain first! Adapted from The Low-Carb Cookbook by Fran McCullough

Ingredients

  • 1/4 medium green cabbage
  • tablespoons butter (or more if you are feeling decadent)
  • salt and pepper
  • Directions

    1. 1
      Core and very thinly slice the cabbage.
    2. 2
      Melt the butter in a large skillet (I use non-stick) over medium heat.
    3. 3
      When it is bubbling, add the cabbage.
    4. 4
      Salt and pepper the cabbage.
    5. 5
      Stir occasionally and cook until mostly wilted, about 10 minutes.
    6. 6
      Turn the heat down to medium-low and let cook, stirring frequently, until cabbage is starting to carmelize (brown), about 10 minutes.
    7. 7
      Do not let burn.
    8. 8
      Taste, adjust seasoning, and serve immediately.

    Oh, my, my, my! I can't believe I forgot to leave a review until now! I've made this frizzled cabbage (but with olive oil instead of butter) at least a half-dozen times since first finding this recipe a few months ago. This is absolutely the tastiest cabbage preparation method I have ever tried. I like when it gets slightly browned and just barely crunchy on the edges. Even my kids eat this up — my 7-yr old says she loves cabbage! Now how many first graders will tell you that?

    Very very good. I did use some extra butter. Next time I think I will add some Italian croutons (crushed) for some added crispiness. Gloria

    I make this all the time. It's delicious. I like mine with carmelized edges. Sometimes I mix it with cooked egg noodles and top it with grated parmesan cheese. It's absolutley fabulous that way.
