Steamed Purple Cabbage Recipes

STEAMED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Melt margarine in a skillet over medium-high heat. Cook and stir onion and bell pepper slices until slightly softened, 3 to 5 minutes. Add cabbage, water, garlic, and thyme; bring to a boil. Reduce heat to medium; cover and cook until cabbage is tender, 8 to 10 minutes.
• Place scotch bonnet chile in the skillet and stir. Add salt and pepper. Simmer 2 or 3 minutes more.

STEAMED CABBAGE RECIPE 2 WAYS

Steps:

• Gather the ingredients.
• Place the sliced cabbage in a small microwave-safe casserole dish.
• Add 1/4 inch of water.
• Cover and microwave on high for 8 minutes. (If your microwave doesn't have a turntable, rotate the dish 1/4 turn halfway through cooking.)
• Drain the water from the dish.
• Add the butter and salt. Serve and enjoy.
• Fill a large pot with water and set a steam basket or metal colander on top of the pot. The water in the pot should be just below the basket.
• Bring the water to a boil, then add the sliced cabbage to the basket.
• Cover the basket with a lid and steam until the cabbage is tender and crisp. Most cabbage takes about 5 to 8 minutes. Some varieties like napa, bok choy, and savoy cabbage may only take 3 to 5 minutes. (If using a colander, be sure that you leave a little space so the steam can escape. Tilting the lid works quite well.)
• Remove the cabbage from the basket and add butter and salt.
• Serve and enjoy.

SAUTEED RED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Heat a skillet over medium high heat. Add oil and onion and saute 2 minutes. Add cabbage and turn in pan, sauteing it until it wilts, 3 to 5 minutes. Add vinegar to the pan and turn the cabbage in it. Sprinkle sugar over the cabbage and turn again. Season with mustard seed, salt and pepper and reduce heat a bit. Let cabbage continue to cook 10 minutes or until ready to serve, stirring occasionally.

BUTTERY STEAMED CABBAGE

Steps:

• Trim the cabbage, then shred it. To shred, cut the cabbage in half, then slice each half into thin slices and separate the slices with your hands into strips, as shown in the video below. Place the strips in a colander and rinse.
• Transfer the rinsed cabbage to a large, deep skillet, without drying it off - the water adhering to the cabbage will allow it to steam. You can a tablespoon of water to the bottom of the pan, but I usually don't find it necessary.
• Turn the heat to medium-high and cover the skillet. When the cabbage starts to steam, which should take about a minute, lower the heat to medium.
• Steam, covered, for about 5 minutes. Uncover, stir, and cook for 2 more minutes to allow any remaining water to evaporate. If you still have too much water in the pan, you can drain it into a colander.
• Add the butter, garlic, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine. Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring, until the butter has melted. Garnish, if desired, with dried parsley and red pepper flakes. Serve warm.
