How To Cook Cabbage

1 . Stage

In a large pot of boiling water, use tongs to dip cabbage leaves in water for 30 seconds to blanch. Place on a paper towel-lined plate to dry. 

2 . Stage

Cut cabbage into wedges or slice it thin. Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil, then add cabbage. (It's OK to crowd the pot because the cabbage will shrink!) 

3 . Stage

Boil until tender, about 5 minutes for shredded cabbage and 10 minutes for wedges. 

4 . Stage

Drain on a paper-towel lined plate to dry. 

5 . Stage

Preheat oven to 425°. Cut cabbage into wedges or 1"-thick rounds. On a large rimmed baking sheet, toss with oil and season with salt and pepper.

6 . Stage

Bake until cabbage is golden and tender, 25 to 30 minutes. 

7 . Stage

Thinly slice cabbage. In a large skillet over medium-high heat, heat about 1 tablespoon oil. Add shredded cabbage and season with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring often, until cabbage is tender, about 10 minutes.
