Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (about 2 pounds) Green cabbage
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.5 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove any wilted outer leaves of the cabbage, then cut the cabbage in half through the core. Remove the core and chop the cabbage into roughly 1-inch strips.
In a large, wide skillet or sauté pan with a lid, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the chopped cabbage to the pan. Stir to coat the cabbage evenly with the melted butter.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the cabbage. Stir again to distribute the seasoning.
Pour the chicken or vegetable broth over the cabbage. Stir gently to combine.
Cover the pan with a lid, reduce the heat to medium-low, and let the cabbage braise for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally. The cabbage should become tender but not mushy.
Remove the lid during the last 5 minutes of cooking to allow any excess liquid to cook off. Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed.
Transfer the cabbage to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
