Shredded Cabbage with Garlic

Four servings.

 

1/2 head of cabbage (about 1 pound)

2 tablespoons butter

1 tablespoon olive oil

1 teaspoon minced garlic from jar (or 2 garlic cloves, minced)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

 

Quarter the cabbage and discard the core. Cut the quarters into thin slices (from 1/8 inch to 1/4 inch).

 

Melt butter with olive oil in large skillet. Add cabbage and garlic. Stir to coat the cabbage. Cover the skillet and cook over low heat for about 15 minutes, or until cabbage is crisp-tender. Stir occasionally. A little browning is okay but don’t overcook. Season with salt and pepper. 

Savory Cabbage

Eight servings.

 

2 lb cabbage, washed, drained, and shredded

1/4 cup butter, melted

2 1/2 tablespoons vinegar

1 teaspoon dry mustard

Salt and pepper to taste

 

Cook cabbage in just enough water to cover, until tender. Drain.

 

Mix together melted butter, vinegar, mustard, salt, and pepper. Stir into cabbage; mix well.

4 cups chopped cabbage

2 tablespoons butter

2 tablespoons olive oil

1/8 to 1/4 teaspoon ground red pepper (cayenne) to taste

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon black pepper

 

Melt butter with oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the cabbage and cook for about 8 minutes, stirring occasionally. Add the salt, black pepper, and cayenne. Cook for an additional 5 to 7 minutes or until the cabbage begins to brown. Serve immediately.

1 tablespoon oil (olive or canola or peanut)

3 cups shredded cabbage (or use more and adjust seasonings)

1/4 teaspoon salt

1/2 teaspoon ground cumin

1 teaspoon chili powder

1/8 teaspoon pepper

 

Heat oil in a large skillet over medium high heat. Add the shredded cabbage and sauté until just beginning to soften. Add seasonings and stir to coat cabbage. If cabbage starts to dry out before done, add a little water. Serve warm.

Skillet Cabbage with Pepper, Celery, and Onion

Five servings. Very low calorie. . From www.recipesource.com.

 

1 cup thinly sliced cabbage

1/4 cup finely chopped green pepper

1/2 cup diced celery

1/4 cup diced onion

1/2 cup chopped tomato

1/4 cup water

1 tablespoon vinegar

 

Combine ingredients in large skillet. Cover and cook over low heat 5-10 minutes. Vegetables should be firm.

Skillet Cabbage using Cole Slaw Mix

Four servings. From www.recipesource.com.

 

2 tablespoons olive oil

3 cups prepackaged cole slaw mix

1 cup chopped celery

1 small green pepper, chopped

1 small onion, chopped

1/2 teaspoon salt

1/4 teaspoon pepper

 

Heat the oil in a large frying pan about 20 minutes. Add remaining ingredients and cook over medium to low heat about 15 minutes, stirring often. Cover pan during the last 5 minutes of cooking time. Stir once or twice.  Serve immediately. Vegetables will be crisp.

Braised Red Cabbage

Eight servings. The acid from the vinegar in this dish helps the red cabbage keep its color. Without it, the cabbage turns blue.

 

2 teaspoons vegetable oil, preferably canola oil

2 onions, cut in half lengthwise and thinly sliced

1 red cabbage (about 3 pounds), halved, cored and sliced

2/3 cup defatted reduced-sodium chicken broth or vegetable broth

1 teaspoon caraway seeds

1/4 cup white vinegar

Salt & freshly ground black pepper to taste

 

Heat oil in a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat. Add onions and cook, stirring, until the onions start to turn golden, about 8 minutes. Add cabbage and cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage wilts, about 5 minutes.

 

Stir in broth, caraway seeds, and sugar substitute if using. Bring to a simmer. Cover and cook over low heat until very tender, 15 to 20 minutes.

 

Uncover and stir in vinegar. Increase heat to high, and cook, stirring occasionally, until most of the liquid has evaporated, 8 to 10 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.

 

The recipe can be made ahead and stored, covered, in the refrigerator for up to 2 days. Reheat gently over low heat or in the microwave.
