Cabbage for Those Who Dislike Cabbage

Lennie's Note:

This is so much nicer than plain steamed or boiled cabbage. Try it on the cabbage haters in your family and see if it converts them.

• Total Time: 40 mins
• Prep Time: 15 mins
• Cook Time: 25 mins

Ingredients:

Servings: 6

• 2 tablespoons butter or 2 tablespoons margarine
• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 8 cups shredded green cabbage (about 1 normal-sized head)
• 1 tablespoon packed brown sugar
• 3 -4 garlic cloves , minced (I use 4)
• 1 tablespoon red wine vinegar
• salt
• fresh ground black pepper

Directions:

1. In a large skillet, heat butter and oil over medium heat; add cabbage, garlic and brown sugar to pan.
2. Sauté until the cabbage is limp, about 5 minutes or so.
3. Reduce heat to medium-low and stir in vinegar.
4. Cook, stirring very often, for approximately 20 minutes; taste and if cabbage is too crunchy for you, continue to cook for a few more minutes.
5. Add salt and pepper to taste and serve.

This is the recipe that I use, to get my husband to eat cooked cabbage, but if you add sliced ONIONS to the fry pan the dish takes on a whole new flavor--- like carmalized onions! It is delicious -believe me!

My family is very fussy but I put this on the table and didn't tell them what it was...no one asked either. They all liked it very much but I would add much more basalmic vinegar next time. I think it needs more flavor. Instead of chopping my own cabbage I used cole slaw mix from the store. I will make this again soon!

This is delicious! I used garlic powder as I had run out of garlic, the sweet and sour flavour in this dish is really nice. Thanks for posting Lennie. =)
