Ingredients
Scale
Vegetables:
- 1 head green cabbage, shredded
Dairy:
- 1/4 cup (4 tablespoons / 56 grams) butter, divided
Seasonings:
- Ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Melt butter in a spacious pot over gentle, medium-low heat, creating a smooth, shimmering base.
- Carefully distribute chopped cabbage evenly across the melted butter, ensuring each piece is lightly coated.
- Drizzle the remaining butter over the cabbage, allowing it to cascade and provide additional moisture and flavor.
- Secure the pot with a tight-fitting lid, trapping steam and heat to facilitate even cooking.
- Simmer for approximately 10 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent sticking and promote uniform tenderness.
- Gently toss the cabbage to redistribute the melted butter and ensure complete coating.
- Remove from heat and let the cabbage rest, covered, for an additional 3 minutes to absorb residual warmth and flavors.
- Finish by sprinkling freshly ground black pepper across the surface for a subtle, aromatic kick.
- Transfer to a serving dish immediately while maintaining optimal temperature and presenting a glossy, buttery appearance.
Notes
- Choose fresh, crisp cabbage for the best texture and flavor.
- Use unsalted butter to control the salt level and enhance the natural sweetness of the cabbage.
- Slice cabbage into uniform pieces to ensure even cooking and consistent tenderness.
- Low and slow cooking prevents burning and helps develop a rich, caramelized flavor.
