I love cabbage but am just now learning how to cook it, I was looking for a way to cook it that would fit into my low fat diet, I use one tsp of bacon grease and then Mrs. Dash, salt and celery salt to taste, tight lid and it cooks down nice with just a small amount of fat with TONS of flavor! ENJOY

Thank you very much for sharing your method. ThatBobbieGirl – Your dish sounds good, too. A lot like cabbage rolls, but without the work or tomatoes.

Just found this site. We like our cabbage sauted with bacon and with shredded cheese added at almost the last minute. I’ve added apple slices to mine too, tastes yummy.

Cabbage is my friend.
And my wallet’s friend.
Sauteed to serve as a veggie side dish, it’s wonderful, but try this really FAST main dish: Brown some ground beef with onion, then toss in a bunch of chopped or shredded cabbage — a lot of it — along with a bay leaf, and cook it just until the cabbage is tender enough for your tastes. Add salt & pepper to taste.

Simple, yet satisfying.

Ok. Cabbage.

My love, who spent a year in China teaching, taught me the “chinese” way to do this.

They call it dau baitsai (spelled semi-phonetically), and it’s stir-fried steamed cabbage with cayene pepper.

chunk up cabbage into bite sized pieces.
in a large wok, drizzle a teaspoon of vegetable or peanut oil.
(we splash in a little bacon grease for flavor)
when the oil is hot, start adding the cabbage, and stir it around briskly, to coat the cabbage with oil.
once all the cabbage has touched the oil, sprinkle 1/4 to 1/2 teaspoon of cayenne pepper, and stir to spread it around. after it’s incorporated, you can add a little (1/4 – 1/2 cup) water, and lid it up.

the water will create steam, and will quickly wilt the cabbage.. Stir it every few minutes, until it’s cooked to perfection (which is a bit past al dente).

We’re having that tonight, and one way we turn it into a main course is to throw in some chunked up smoked sausage. It will be accompanied by pierogies, and carrots.

When we make this (using the bacon grease) we also add thinly sliced apples. I know that sounds odd but they are wonderful with the cabbage.
