Sauteed Cabbage

Directions

1. 1
   Peel off and discard any bruised or wilted leaves from the cabbage, and use a sharp knife to remove the core.
2. 2
   Cut the head in half lengthwise, then cut the halves crosswise into thin shreds.
3. 3
   In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the oil and saute the shredded cabbage over medium-high heat for 5 minutes, tossing and stirring often until wilted.
4. 4
   Reduce the heat to very low, cover the pan with a tight-fitting lid, and cook for 30 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
5. 5
   Stir frequently, as the cabbage can scorch easily.
6. 6
   Season the cabbage with salt and pepper to taste.
7. 7
   The cabbage will steam in its own juice.
8. 8
   If the low setting on your stove is not low enough, add water to prevent scorching.
