    Add the sliced cabbage to the steamer basket. Cover the pot and steam for about 8-10 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.

    Once steamed, remove the cabbage from the steamer. Drizzle with olive oil, sprinkle with salt and black pepper, and add lemon juice to taste. Toss gently to combine and serve warm.
