Tips

  • Cutting the cabbage into wedges to quarter the cooking time.
  • The fat protects the vegetable, allowing it to slowly caramelize, becoming sweeter and more enhanced in flavor.
  • Cooking the cabbage at a low temperature will prevent it from turning to mush, and will allow the leaves to slowly go translucent and tender.
