I prefer cabbaged "fried" in bacon grease. My wife puts bacon grease in the skillet, adds some water, puts the cut cabbage in, adds salt and pepper; covers the skillet and lets it cook until tender.. Best cabbage I have ever eaten..I like to cut a head into four quarters leaving the core in to hold it all together, I cook it in a few cups of chicken brother for hours - makes it nice and etnder. Then turn the quarter so the round edge is on the plate, salt, pepper, and then let the butter melt in.
It is the closest I can come to being a vegetarian.
