Southern Style Steamed Cabbage
My Southern Style Steamed Cabbage recipe is a family favorite in our home. Some call this a fried cabbage recipe. You can serve the cabbage with ham or sausage.
Equipment
Ingredients
- 1 large head of cabbage rinsed
- 1 ½ tbsp of canola oil
- 1 ½ cups of water
- 2-5 small pieces of cooked ham 1-2 bacon strips or Ready to Serve Real Bacon Bits
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- Bring a large pot to medium heat.
- Add the canola oil, ham, or bacon and toss together to flavor the oil and get the juices going in the meat.
- Cut your cabbage in half and discard any damaged outer leaves.
- Cut each half of the cabbage into 2-inch square chunks.
- Add the cabbage to the oil and ham mixture.
- Toss and stir the cabbage to ensure the oil is on every piece of cabbage.
- Add water, cover, and turn the heat down to low.
- Stir cabbage every 5 minutes until tender. About 15 minutes
Notes
The longer you steam the cabbage the more tender it will become. Enjoy!
