To prepare the cabbage, cut it in half and then remove the core, along with any damaged leaves. Dice the cabbage.
Next, melt the butter over medium heat until it just begins to brown. Then add the cabbage and toss to coat. Sauté the cabbage for approximately 5 minutes or until it is cooked to your liking.
To finish the cabbage, season it with a bit of salt and pepper to taste.
When you are buying cabbage, try and buy heads that are compact, heavy for their size and bright in color. Cabbage is a great and inexpensive vegetable that is available all year. It also keeps for quite a while in the refrigerator, which is an added bonus.

We often have sauteed cabbage as a side dish, but instead of using butter we use olive oil and a bit of chopped bacon. The bacon gives it a different taste all together.
Often we have the cabbage as a side for chicken or meat. If there are leftovers, I sometimes take it as a late night snack. I'm not too crazy about sweet snacks, so I prefer things like this cabbage or a light salad.
Regarding the large chunks of cabbage, I like them, but my family often cuts it into smaller, thiner pieces. Not as small as a typical cabbage salad, but not as large as those in this video either.
I served this tonight on top of an orange rosemary berre blanc sauce topped with a nice pan seared Arctic Char which is fast becoming our favorite fish!
Very nice!
Mt mom, being southern, would first dice 4 or 5 slices of bacon and fry that to a crisp then and cabbage and onions and a ton of black pepper.
Barry D's got it going on--right up my alley. Love the onions with the cabbage. Used to use bacon grease, but that is taboo now, so a couple slices of bacon mixed in is great.
Pshaw, who cares if bacon grease is taboo? I wouldn't use it every day, but why not once in a while?
What exactly is kosher salt? I only have sea salt (from Costco) at home. Adding 1/2 teaspoon to 1/2 head cabbage turned out to be too salty for my taste. Is it just my own taste? Or do sea salt and kosher salt have different level of saltiness?
