Bonnies Smothered Cabbage Wedges Recipes

BONNIE'S SMOTHERED CABBAGE WEDGES

Steps:

• 1. PREPARE CABBAGE Cut the cabbage into 8 wedges, and trim and discard the core. Place in a Dutch oven with a small amount of salted boiling water, cover with a tight lid and cook 10 minutes. Drain well. Transfer the cabbage to a 13X9 baking dish.
• 2. PREPARE VEGETABLES Heat the butter in a large skillet over medium low heat. Saute the onion and green pepper until tender. Add 1/4 cup of flour and stir and cook one minute. Then add the 2 cups of milk. Stir and cook until thick and bubbly. Add salt and pepper. Pour this mixture over the cabbage evenly in the baking dish. Bake 25 minutes at 375 degrees.
• 3. MAKE SPICY CHEESE SAUCE Combine mayonnaise, cheddar cheese and drained Rotel. Mix well. Spoon this mixture over the cooked cabbage and bake 5 more minutes until the cheese is melted.
• 4. SERVE! Enjoy!

GRILLED CABBAGE WEDGES

Steps:

• Preheat an outdoor grill for medium heat and lightly oil the grate.
• Cut cabbage into 8 wedges. Place a metal skewer through each wedge to hold in place and keep from falling apart. Drizzle both sides with olive oil and sprinkle with seasoned salt and pepper.
• Place directly on the grill and cook until grill marks are achieved, turning once, 8 to 12 minutes total. Remove from skewers and serve.

ROASTED CABBAGE WEDGES

Steps:

• Preheat the oven to 400 degrees F (200 degrees C). Line a baking sheet with parchment paper.
• Cut the head of cabbage in half vertically through the core. Cut each half into 4 wedges. Place the wedges on the baking sheet.
• Combine butter, caraway seeds, and vinegar in small bowl. Brush 1/2 of the mixture over the wedges. Season with salt and pepper.
• Roast in the preheated oven for 15 minutes. Gently flip the wedges, brush with remaining butter mixture, and season with more salt and pepper. Return to the oven and roast until wedges are soft and edges are lightly charred, 8 to 10 minutes more.

SOUTHERN FRIED SMOTHERED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Heat a large, lidded cast iron pot over medium-high heat. Add bacon and fry until browned but not crispy, about 5 minutes. Quickly add cabbage pieces and water, in that order. Cover the pot with the lid and allow cabbage to steam, about 1 minute. Season with cayenne pepper and salt and boil for 15 minutes.
• Remove lid and reduce heat to a high simmer. Cook until all liquid has evaporated and cabbage is browning in the bottom of the pot and wilted but not soggy, about 10 minutes more. Scrape the bottom of the pot regularly and turn cabbage to prevent sticking.

ROASTED CABBAGE WEDGES

Steps:

• Preheat oven to 400 degrees. Brush a rimmed baking sheet with 1 tablespoon extra-virgin olive oil. Place 1 medium head green cabbage, cut into 1-inch-thick rounds, in a single layer on sheet and brush with 2 tablespoons oil. Season with coarse salt and ground pepper and sprinkle with 1 teaspoon caraway or fennel seeds. Roast until cabbage is tender and edges are golden, 40 to 45 minutes.
