Sauteed Cabbage

This recipe is especially good over the summer served with either steamed crab legs or lobster. Its very simple and very flavorful.

Sauteed Cabbage

1 small head of Cabbage ( 2 to 2 1/2 pounds is good)

3-4 T. Butter or Unsalted Butter

Kosher Salt to taste (1 to 2 tsp. is a good guild line)

Fresh Ground Pepper to taste (1 tsp. more, or less depending on taste)


Shred the cabbage into bite size pieces like you are making coleslaw. Melt your butter in a deep pot over medium heat.. add the cabbage and pepper at this stage. Saute for 10 minutes until tender. After cabbage is done cooking, then add the salt to taste. If you add the salt at the first step, it will start extracting the water out of the cabbage and you will have more or less steamed cabbage and not sauteed. Serve hot!
