How To Make Boiled Cabbage

Boiled cabbage is best when making soups, but have fun creating your own masterpiece! You can also use this technique before baking cabbage to wilt the leaves slightly and make them more tender.

First be sure to remove the tough inner core. Then you can chop, slice or quarter the head. Place in boiling water for 5-10 minutes. Drain.

If making the red variety, be aware that cooking it for any length of time will cause it to turn blue! To avoid this, simply add a splash of vinegar to the water before cooking.

Most of us have smelled cabbage as it cooks -- it tends to give off a rather unpleasant odor. This occurs, usually, when it's cooked for any length of time, such as this technique. To avoid, wrap a piece of bread in cheesecloth and add it to your pot.
