Simmered Cabbage with Chicken Broth Recipe

Ingredients

  • 1/2  head cabbage chopped into 1″ squares, or one head cabbage torn into sheets
  • 1 T. olive oil
  • 1 T. butter
  • 1/2 tsp. salt
  • 1/4 tsp. pepper
  • 1 c. chicken broth
  • 2 tsp. sugar optional

Instructions

  • Heat oil and butter in a large pot, till melted.
  • Thoroughly wash and rinse your cabbage. I usually rinse mine several times, just so I’m sure I’ve removed any dirt along with pests like cabbage worms (they tend to hide in all the nooks and crannies). Again, using leaf cabbage can help prevent some of the pests from hiding!

  • Pour in the broth and bring it to a boil. Reduce heat to med-low, cover, and allow to continue cooking for 15 min., stirring occasionally, or until tender.Raise the heat to med., uncover, and cook until the liquids have reduced by half.
