Cabbage is a versatile vegetable that can be cooked as a side dish or as part of the main dish. It doesn't need much to make it tasty, either. This basic boiled cabbage recipe calls for just four ingredients—cabbage, butter, salt, and pepper—and it cooks in about 20 minutes.

Use green or Savoy cabbage because they're the best cabbage varieties for boiling. Once cooked, you can drizzle the cabbage wedges with a little cider vinegar or pepper vinegar sauce if you like. Cooked cabbage is wonderful served alongside ham and pork, and corned beef and cabbage is popular on St. Patrick's Day

Tip

To test whether the cabbage is done, insert a small paring knife in the densest part of the cabbage near the core. If the knife slides through easily, the cabbage is tender and ready to be served.

Recipe Variations

• Use chicken or vegetable broth in place of the water.
• Replace the salt with about 1/2 teaspoon of Creole or Cajun seasoning or a seasoned salt blend. If the seasoning is salt free, add salt to taste.
• Drizzle the cabbage with a homemade hot pepper sauce. Fill a sterile jar with cleaned, chopped hot or mild peppers. If the peppers are small, cut a slit in them or pierce them. In a saucepan over high heat, bring some distilled white vinegar to a boil. Pour the hot vinegar over the peppers. Seal the jars and refrigerate for a week or two before using it.

Is It Better to Boil or Steam Cabbage?

Boiling is a traditional way to prepare cabbage, though steamed cabbage is another popular option. The results are similar because the goal is to have fork-tender cabbage. Boiled cabbage is notoriously smelly and steaming is often thought of as a less aromatic way to cook the vegetable. However, the pungent smell is actually the result of overcooked cabbage; boil it just until tender and you won't have a stinky kitchen.

Is Boiled Cabbage Healthy?

Boiled cabbage is an excellent way to take advantage of the vegetable's nutrients. Cabbage is packed with vitamins C and K, and a good source of potassium, magnesium, and phytonutrients. It's low in calories, though the butter in this recipe adds calories to the dish. Additionally, the insoluble fibers in cabbage can keep the digestive system healthy and the soluble fiber and phytosterols may help reduce "bad" LDL cholesterol levels.
