Servings 4 people
Cost $2.50
Equipment
- Large skillet with a lid
- knife to cut cabbage
- spoon to stir
Ingredients
- 1 head cabbage
- 2 tbsp olive oil
- 1/3 cup water
Instructions
- Place olive oil in the skillet
- Chop the cabbage into bite size pieces
- Add the cabbage to the skillet with medium heat
- Add a lid to the skillet but Stir the cabbage often to keep it from scorching
- Add about 1/2 tsp. of salt & 1/4 tsp pepper and stir
- When cabbage is just starting to get a little bit limp but not very browned, add 1/3 cup of water and put lid back on the skillet.
- Turn heat to very low and let the cabbage simmer, stirring it every now & then to make sure it is getting really tender and still has enough water to not scorch.
- If you need to add a little more water before the cabbage gets tender, that is fine, just don't add too much or you will just have boiled cabbage instead.
- Serve while hot. If cooked right, it will taste sweet and very tender.
