?A Tennessee Cabbage Recipe is a recipe that uses cabbage as one of the main ingredients. Cabbage is a leafy green vegetable that is part of the cruciferous family of vegetables. It is high in fiber and low in calories, and has a variety of vitamins and minerals.
Put the butter in a skillet and let it start to brown slightly.
Add the cabbage and stir well; cover the skillet and let simmer for 5 minutes.
Stir and cook for another 5 minutes.
Add the salt, pepper and cream (or evaporated milk).
Cover and simmer 4 more minutes.
It is very important not to overcook the cabbage.
Comments
Note: You can add a touch of nutmeg for a savoury flair. You can also use the salt and pepper to taste. Also, I have used very successfully the substitution of bacon fat for the butter. I have no idea if this really is indigenous to Tennessee or not, but the person who originally gave it to me is from the city of Pulaski, Tennessee.
