My first blog of the new year will be my beloved cabbage. It's one of my favorite things that I make and it's always a hit. It's just good home cooked cabbage. For our dinner we had the traditional cabbage, black eyed peas, baked potato, and steak.
It was delish!! I probably never make my cabbage exactly the same but it's close enough.
Ingredients
Head of cabbage
A slice of bacon, cut into 5 chunks (I use bacon fat if I don't have bacon)
2 T butter
Tony's
Salt/pepper
Pepper sauce
In a stock pot, fill with about 1/2 inch of water. Add bacon, butter, and seasonings except the pepper sauce. Boil for about 5 mins. Meanwhile, cut cabbage into chunks (remove core) and wash throughly. Add cabbage to water; cover and cook on low to medium heat until soft. I add some extra pepper and a few dashes of pepper sauce before serving. Sometimes I don't add butter when using bacon and use butter when I don't have bacon. So just depends on my mood. But it's good both ways!! If you use butter only, use around 4 T of butter.
I'm glad to be back!! I hope you all have a Happy New Year!!
