Steamed Cabbage Recipe

Directions

1. 1

   Prepare the Cabbage

   Remove the outer leaves from the cabbage, cut it in half, and then slice it into quarters. Remove the core from each quarter and chop the cabbage into bite-sized pieces.

2. 2

   Season the Cabbage

   In a large bowl, toss the chopped cabbage with salt, black pepper, and olive oil. Ensure that the cabbage is evenly coated with the seasonings.

3. 3

   Prepare for Steaming

   In a large pot, add 1 cup of water and bring it to a boil. Place a steaming rack or a heatproof plate inside the pot, making sure it does not touch the water.

4. 4

   Steam the Cabbage

   Once the water is boiling, place the seasoned cabbage on the steaming rack or plate. Cover the pot with a lid and steam the cabbage for about 10-15 minutes, or until it is tender but still bright green.

5. 5

   Add Garlic and Lemon

   While the cabbage is steaming, mince the garlic cloves. Once the cabbage is steamed, remove it from the pot and transfer it to a serving bowl. Drizzle with lemon juice and sprinkle with minced garlic.

6. 6

   Serve

   Toss the cabbage gently to combine all the flavors. Serve warm as a side dish.
