Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 8 cups Water
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 0.25 teaspoons Ground black pepper
• 1 teaspoon Apple cider vinegar (optional)

Directions

Step 1

Remove any tough or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage and rinse the head under cool running water.

Step 2

Cut the cabbage in half through the core and then into quarters. Remove the core from each quarter and slice the cabbage into 1-inch strips.

Step 3

In a large pot, bring 8 cups of water to a boil over high heat. Add 1 teaspoon of salt to the boiling water.

Step 4

Carefully add the sliced cabbage to the pot. Reduce the heat to medium, ensuring the water stays at a gentle boil.

Step 5

Cook the cabbage for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender but not mushy. Test for doneness by piercing a piece with a fork; it should easily go through.

Step 6

Drain the cabbage in a colander, shaking off any excess water.

Step 7

Return the empty pot to the stove over low heat and add 2 tablespoons of unsalted butter. Let the butter melt completely.

Step 8

Add the drained cabbage back to the pot and toss gently to coat it in the melted butter.

Step 9

Season with 1/4 teaspoon of ground black pepper and stir well. For a tangy twist, add 1 teaspoon of apple cider vinegar, if desired.

Step 10

Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper as needed.

Step 11

Transfer the boiled cabbage to a serving bowl and serve immediately while warm.
