Butter Braised Savoy Cabbage
Ingredients
1 small head savoy cabbage
3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Fine sea salt, to taste
3 to 5 tablespoons water
Instructions
1. Cut the cabbage into quarters, cutting out the thick, solid core at the center. Chop the cabbage into roughly bite-sized pieces. Thinly slice the core and include it in the mix.
2. Melt the butter in a large saucepan or sauté pan over medium-high heat.
3. Once the butter stops foaming, add the cabbage, sprinkle it with salt, and add 3 tablespoons of water, stirring to combine.
4. Cover and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook, stirring the cabbage now and again as needed until the cabbage absorbs all of the liquid, about 20 minutes.
5. Test the cabbage for tenderness. If necessary, add another 2 tablespoons of water and continue cooking, with the pan covered, adding a tablespoon of water at a time until the cabbage softens to your liking.
6. Season the cabbage to taste with additional salt, if you wish, and serve it hot or warm.
