Cabbage is packed with vitamins, nutrients, and tons of fiber and this recipe makes for a great side for any chicken, beef, or pork dish!
Boiled cabbage is great for a simple side or an easy meatless dinner combined with potatoes. For a meatier version, just add some bacon or kielbasa and other seasonings to the mix!
How to Cut Cabbage
Remove any discolored or torn leaves on the outside. Keep the root intact to keep the leaves together. Cut cabbage into wedges of four or eight (depending on the size of the head of cabbage).
How to Boil Cabbage
Cabbage wedges can be simply made with water, or boiled with chicken broth for extra flavor.
How Long to Boil Cabbage
Whether the cabbage is in wedges or in strips, boil until it is fork-tender, about 8 to 12 minutes. Cabbage can be steamed too, but it takes longer. Drain well before seasoning.
