REQUESTED RECIPE: How I make my cabbage
Note* If you are making this for a special occasion, definitely make it the day before and just reheat it in the microwave. It taste great the day you make it, but once it's had a chance to soak up those flavorful juices. OMG delish!!!

I usually cook cabbage about once or twice a year. I don't know why because I love the stuff, it's healthy and even better, it's cheap!
Wait a minute I know why I don't cook it as often, because it funks up the kitchen! Ughhh, there is just something about the smell of cabbage cooking that I hate. That was until a friend gave me a lil tip:
"Don't boil the cabbage, simmer it!"
Some folks say that if you add in a bit of vinegar or lemon juice while cooking, it will greatly reduce the smell. Hmmm...I'll have to give it a try one day.
My mother always boiled her cabbage from start to finish and so I just automatically did the same thing. Simmering it really does cut down on the smell. Keyword: Cut down. Not get rid of. I can at least tolerate it now.
Here is how I cook my basic cabbage. I love this southern cabbage recipe because it creates tender, yet slightly firm cabbage that is full of flavor, even the juice left in the pot taste good!
This is a very basic (but flavorful) cabbage recipe. If you wanna add a lil spunk to your cabbage throw in some sauteed onions, garlic, red pepper flakes, and smoked meat. Yum!
Watch me make this tasty southern cabbage recipe from start to finish!
