Is boiling cabbage the best way to cook it?
Depends on if you like it that way. Sometimes I do (esp if it has cut up smoked sausage in it), sometimes I don’t. Try this: Stuffed Cabbage 2 1/2 tsp salt 1/2 tsp ground red pepper 1/2 tsp garlic powder 1/2 tsp ground black pepper 1/2 tsp ground white pepper 1 large head of cabbage (maybe a 3 pounder) 1/2 stick unsalted butter 2 cups finely chopped yellow onion 16 ounces of pasta sauce Removed the large outer leaves (at least 7 or 8) being careful not to tear them. Cut out the largest part of the stem on those leaves and biol them until they are flexible, maybe 5 min or so. Drain them and set aside. Shred enough of the remaining cabbage to make 2 packed cups. Saute the onions, cabbage, and seasonings in the butter until wilted. Add half the pasta sauce. stir and cool. Wrap 1/2 cup portions of the cooled stuffing in cabbage leaves like a burrito and place seam side down in a casserole dish. Pour the remaining pasta sauce over the leaves and wrap pan in fiol to seal. Bake at 375 for 40
Yes. The reason, is cabbage is grown in watery environment and therefore more liable to water borne diseases or bacteria. If you boil it, the high temperature will kill the bacteria or disallow them to grow further to cause diseases. It should be remembered that boiling too much will also let the nutrients in the cabbage especially the water soluble ones leak away into the water. So in the end, it is balance of cooking practice. Cabbage tastes very nice if eaten raw like we have in salads but then the risk may be high if it came from a questionable source. Boiling will diminish the crispiness but also make it safe if it came from questionable source. I hope this answer meets your needs. Best regards. Mimi.Yes.
