howo do you cook cabbage southern style?

Answer 1

Brown a couple of pieces of bacon -leave bacon grease and bacon in skillet.Add about a cup of water--add cabbage cut into small pieces.Cover and simmer about 30 minutes, stir occasionally.Take lid off and cook til water is almost gone.You can add carrots when you put the cabbage in, too.Also season with salt, pepper, and cajun seasoning(optional)

Answer 2

I am from Texas, and my mom does it two ways. First she cooks it in Bacon Grease or With some Fatback that has been fried first to add flavor, The other way is to Cook it with Crisco and slices of onion, Basically fry it. I don't subscribe to the heart attack of the month club, so I have updated her recipe. I take the cabbage and onions and cook them in a steamer, with a piece of smoked turkey leg. This gives me all the flavor and almost no fat!! Try it if you like, it rocks!!! Also If I want to make a meal of It, I add some turkey kielbasa and fry it all, then add a little water and lid and let it steam in a pot on the stove!

RE: How do you cook cabbage? Just looking for a simple way - probably southern style.? My mom usually cooks it, but now I'm on my own. I have no clue what to do. I think I rinse it and chop it, but then what do I put in the pan with it and how long will it take to cook? Thanks! I'm a new cook and will probably be on here often!

Answer 5

I learned a modern twist on an old family recipe & it is wonderful. Take a small to medium head of cabbage, core & remove outer leaves. Tear off large piece of foil & lay on counter. Place cabbage in center of foil. Take 2 - 3 cloves garlic minced & place in core cavity. Take 4 strips cooked bacon, crumbled & place on top of garlic. Take 1 stick butter & roll completely in Mrs. Dash, then place on top of bacon. Fold up foil, sealing tightly & place on baking sheet. Bake @ 350 for about 45 minutes or til cabbage is done - It will fall apart when you unwrap the foil, so place in serving dish 1st....

Answer 6

Fry some bacon in a large pan, remove the bacon but leave the drippings. While pan is still hot, put the cabbage in (shredded), add salt to taste, sugar to taste, crushed red pepper, fresh red pepper. Don't let it get too soft. It's best when it's still a little crunchy and it's DELICIOUS!
