Frizzled Cabbage

Boxerwing's Note:

Raise the lowly cabbage to something extraordinary! This technique of sautéing brings out a wonderful sweetness you never knew existed in cabbage. You can add different spices to this recipe: curry, caraway seeds, or hot pepper sauce are just suggestions. But try it plain first! Adapted from The Low-Carb Cookbook by Fran McCullough

[Loves To Cook but NOT clean up]

I grew up on cabbage cooked just like this but my mom used to take a huge cake pan (double the size of a full sheet cake pan) and spread cooked white rice on the botton, layer the cooked cabbage over it, layer fried slices of kielbasa and then sprinkle shredded mozzarella all over it and put it in the oven until the cheese melted and started to brown a bit. Oh so good! A family of 6 almost always wiped it out and there were no leftovers!

Super simple and delicious. The only change I made was to add some Mrs Dash Garlic & Herb seasoning. What a good recipe for us cabbage lovers!

MMMMMMM! This is such a wonderful way to prepare cabbage! I used just salt and pepper to season and it was perfect! Thanks for sharing!
