My Microwaved Cabbage Recipes

MY MICROWAVED CABBAGE

Steps:

• 1. Rough cut cabbage, however much you want or need, into a microwave safe bowl.
• 2. Salt and pepper to taste. Lightly sprinkle with onion and/or garlic powders (optional), not enough to overtake the flavor of the cabbage.
• 3. Drop teaspoons of butter or margarine on top of cabbage, you judge for your taste.
• 4. Microwave for 2-3 minute intervals until it reaches your desired level of "doneness". I like mine to be firm but not crunchy.
• 5. This gives the cabbage a light, but very flavorful taste. Enjoy!

MICROWAVE CABBAGE SOUP

Steps:

• You will need a deep, heavy microwave safe cooking dish- such as a round Corningware casserole (no lid).
• Put butter in casserole and heat for 40 seconds on HIGH heat (or until melted).
• Add cabbage, onions, scallions, salt, pepper, and sugar.
• Cook on HIGH 4-6 minutes.
• Add the broth and cook on HIGH another 15 minutes.
• Add the warm milk (I remove the soup from the microwave and heat up the milk for 1 minute or so in a glass measure).
• Stir in the carrots and return to the microwave to heat on HIGH 3-4 minutes.
• Test for seasonings- add more salt, pepper, or sugar if needed to suit your tastes.
• You may need to adjust cooking times for your microwave- if cabbage is not tender enough yet, keep microwaving in 3-4 minute intervals on HIGH,stirring, until veggies are cooked to your liking.
