Boiling Cabbage for a Quick, Healthy Side

Remove the outer leaves from your cabbage—if they look rough or wilted, toss them. Rinse the whole head under cool water. Even organic cabbage needs a good wash to get rid of dirt or bugs. If you want to be extra careful, soak it in water for 30 minutes. Cut the cabbage into wedges or shred it, whatever you like. Don’t forget to remove the tough stem in the middle. Bring about 3/4 inch of water (or broth for more flavor) to a gentle boil. A splash of vinegar helps with the smell. Add the cabbage. Shredded cooks in 5 minutes, wedges in 10-15. Keep an eye on it—overcooked cabbage isn’t great. Drain and season with salt. That’s it! Super simple, and you can use any cabbage variety you like. #CabbageRecipes #HealthyEating #BoiledCabbage #Food #Cooking
