Smothered Cabbage
Smothered cabbage is a classic Southern style side dish. Cabbage smothered with smoked meat, garlic, onion and spices for a side dish without leftovers.
Ingredients
- 1 medium head of green cabbage, sliced
- 1 package smoked meat (I used smoked turkey necks)
- 1 medium yellow onion, diced
- 4 cloves garlic, minced
- salt & pepper to taste
Instructions
- First, add the smoked meat to a pot of water (about 4 cup) and bring to a boil then lower the temperature to medium low and allow the pot to simmer covered for 30 minutes. This will be the broth for the smothered cabbage.
- While the meat is boiling prep the other ingredients. Once the meat is finished you can shred the meat from the bones or wait until the entire recipe is finished. But, the meat goes great with the cabbage when serving.
- In a pot, sauté the onion and garlic together. Once browned, fragrant and softened add the water from the boiled meat. Add the meat and the large bones (flavor is still there) inside the pot.Then, add the sliced cabbage right on top.
- Now, cover the pot and allow the cabbage to cook on medium for about 15-20 minutes or until your desired texture for the cabbage. Season to taste before serving.
