  • 1 teaspoon apple cider vinegar

Instructions

  • Start with this easy Southern fried cabbage recipe with soul food flavor. Then, pair the cooked cabbage with a meat or side dish from the article list above.
  • Cut out the cabbage's core and coarsely chop the leaves using a food processor or knife. (I remove the outer layer of cabbage leaves first and discard them before chopping.)
  • Turn the stovetop on medium and add the butter to the cast iron frying pan skillet.
  • Once the butter has melted, add the shredded cabbage, onion, chicken broth, apple cider vinegar, Old Bay or Cajun seasoning, garlic powder, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper to the skillet. 
  • Cover the pan with a lid and simmer for about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove the lid from the skillet and cook the cabbage uncovered for about 15 minutes, careful not to let all the broth evaporate so the cabbage is not dry.
  • When cooking is finished, serve this Southern dish right away and enjoy!
  • Pro tip: How can you tell when the cabbage is cooked?
    Carefully taste a bite of the cabbage leaves. (Caution: They will be hot!) If the leaves are very tender, the cabbage is done!
