Butter: Melt some butter and drizzle it over the boiled cabbage wedges. The butter adds a rich, creamy flavor that complements the cabbage perfectly.
Salt and pepper: Season the boiled cabbage with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. The salt enhances the natural sweetness of the cabbage while the pepper adds a subtle kick.
Cider vinegar or hot sauce (optional): For those who like a bit of tang or heat, a splash of cider vinegar or a few dashes of hot sauce can be drizzled over the cabbage.
The key is to not overcook the cabbage, as that can make it limp and smelly.
Boil it just until tender, then drain and serve immediately with the butter, salt, and pepper
Boiled cabbage makes a wonderful side dish for ham, roast chicken, corned beef, or any hearty main course
It's a simple, inexpensive way to add more veggies to your meal.
