Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (medium-sized) Green cabbage
- 1 cup Water
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Fresh parsley (optional, chopped)
Instructions
Remove any wilted or discolored outer leaves from the cabbage and rinse it thoroughly under cool water.
Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core. Slice each quarter into thin strips, roughly 1/2 inch wide.
In a large pot with a lid, add 1 cup of water and bring it to a boil over medium heat.
Add the sliced cabbage to the pot. Cover with the lid and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Steam the cabbage for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender but not mushy.
Drain any excess water from the pot. Add the unsalted butter, salt, and black pepper to the cabbage.
Stir well to coat the cabbage with the butter and seasonings. Taste and adjust the salt and pepper as needed.
Transfer the steamed cabbage to a serving dish and sprinkle with chopped fresh parsley, if desired. Serve warm.
