Ingredients
-
1
medium head white cabbage
-
4-6 tablespoons
unsalted butter
-
salt & pepper
Directions
-
Core the cabbage and slice it into thin strips.
-
Over medium heat, melt the butter in a large skillet and add the strips of cabbage.
-
Stir to coat with the butter then add a good amount of salt and pepper – about a teaspoon or so of each – to suit your taste.
-
Continue cooking and stirring occasionally until the cabbage is “al dente” or until it is green and tender without being mushy.

Note: I once added a little celery salt to this, and it was a nice addition. However, I still think it is best when it is prepared in this simple manner.
Someone once said, "the wise man knows that he knows nothing at all." Therefore if I spend my days seeking knowledge than I am simply trying to be a better fool. Hopefully I will eat well along the way.
