I Stand Corrected

I thought I didn't like cabbage. I have never minded eating it in other dishes or in salads, but I have never thought of it as a vegetable serving of its own. My SIL claims cabbage as her favorite vegetable. Yech. She posted a recipe for cabbage on her blog and so I prepared it at my in-laws last night. Let me tell you, it was delectable!! I went back for more four times. I ate more cabbage than I did potatoes and pork chops combined! Cabbage has been redeemed. 

GINGERED CABBAGE

2 Tbsp butter
1 head cabbage (about 1 1/2 lbs) cored and chopped
1 Tbsp minced garlic
Salt and Pepper to taste
1 Tbsp peeled and minced or grated fresh ginger
Juice of 1 lime (I just splashed it in from the bottle)

• Place the butter in a large, deep skillet over medium-high heat (a 12 inch cast-iron pan is perfect for this, but go w/ medium heat instead). When the butter melts, add the cabbage. Cook, stirring occasionally for 5 to 10 minutes.
• When the cabbage is limp but not mushy, add the garlic, salt & pepper, and cook another 2 minutes, stirring.
• Add the ginger and cook another minute. Drizzle with the lime juice and serve.

So simple. So delicious.
