All I can say is Simply Wonderful!!! No more watered down, soggy cabbage. We added nothing except a little salt at the table...Sheer perfection. Thank you Bergy.

    This is the perfect way to make cabbage in my opinion! I did sprinkle 1/2 teaspoon of red pepper flakes, the second time that I made the cabbage this way. I used to always put the cabbage in with the potatoes and corned beef. While it was of good taste, it certainly was mushy. So you have that problem solved. Now to add the flavor of the cabbage to the pot of corn beef and potatoes, I simply put the cabbage cores into the pot with the meat. Flavor problem solved. If there are any left overs, I chop everything up the next morning and saute all in butter to make a lovely homemade hash, for breakfast.

    This cabbage recipe is wonderful. The cabbage retains it's bright green color, and the butter adds a nice creamy touch. I added a sweet onion, cut in wedges. This recipe definately a keeper to use again and again. Thanks, Bergy for sharing your recipe. Good Stuff!!!

    I made this tonight and it was wonderful! I used 3/4 of the cabbage (since all 4 wouldn't fit in my pot) and steamed it for 15 minutes (I like mine softer too). I melted half a stick of butter in the microwave and poured it over the steamed vegetables and lightly shook some pepper over it. Took it to a potluck and people were raving!!!
