This steamed cabbage recipe is surprisingly delicious, with an irresistible buttery, savory flavor! It’s a easy side dish that’s versatile for serving with many types of meals.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 1 medium head green cabbage (about 2 1/2 pounds)
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • 2 tablespoons salted butter (or olive oil)
  • Fresh ground black pepper

Instructions

  1. Remove any tough or brown leaves from the cabbage, then shred the cabbage
  2. Place 1 inch of water in a large pot with a steamer basket. Add the cabbage and bring the water to a boil. Once boiling, cover and steam for 7 to 10 minutes until tender. Remove from the heat. Place the cabbage in a large bowl and allow it to cool for 2 minutes to allow the steam to dissipate. 
  3. Mix the cabbage with the butter, kosher salt and plenty of fresh ground pepper. Taste and adjust seasonings as necessary.
