Simply Steamed

Steamed Cabbage




seasoned with salt, pepper, margarine

Cabbage with Meatballs


This head of cabbage was sitting in my refrigerator for long enough, but I couldn't think of how I wanted to prepare it. Ivy (The Happy Whisk) being a cabbage lover, suggested a number of options to me. Having coincidentally unearthed my steamer the day before, I chose her option of steaming it. After 15 minutes, half a head of the cabbage, quartered, was perfectly tender. I seasoned it with salt, pepper and a teaspoon of margarine. It was delicious and went really well with the meatballs I made the next day. Thanks Ivy!

it's amazing how many ways you can prepare a food. Chefs and other food cooks are very creative

That is so easy but we never flavour ours. Just steam it. I think we should butter and season it as a treat no and then.

Steamed cabbage tastes pretty great. Doesn't take long either. Having a steamer at the ready is a great way to start eating healthier.

You can't beat it.
I bought ahead of cabbage today - but I always use butter and not margarine ...
Thanks for sharing this idea.

All the best Jan

Ivy is the best. That's why I call her Wonder Woman. I should try steaming it, too. I've never done that with cabbage and I have a steamer that I enjoy using.

Thanks bunches for the mention. Really glad it worked out for you. I like to do half a head at once and then use them as wraps for sweat potatoes and broccoli. I love that combo.

Happy Eating and thanks again.
