to taste
0.25 fluid ounces
1. Prepare the Cabbage
Trim any damaged or wilted leaves from the cabbage. Core and quarter the cabbage, then slice it thinly.
2. Cook the Cabbage
Place the sliced cabbage in a pan. Add a large knob of butter, salt to taste, and enough water to create a half-inch depth. Cover the pan and bring it to a boil, then reduce to a simmer. Cook gently until the cabbage is tender.
3. Season and Serve
Taste the buttered cabbage and adjust the seasoning with salt or butter as needed. Serve warm.
Use high-quality unsalted European-style butter for a richer taste and smooth mouthfeel.
Opt for a fresh and dense head of cabbage. Savoy cabbage can elevate the dish with its delicate texture.
Melt the butter over medium heat and cook cabbage for 8-12 minutes until tender but still slightly crunchy.
Finish with fresh herbs like dill, parsley, or chives and a squeeze of lemon juice to brighten the dish.
Start with moderate salt and adjust after tasting. Add freshly ground black pepper or nutmeg for warmth.
