Boiled Cabbage

Ingredients

• 1 head Large White Cabbage
• 6 cups Water
• 1 tsp Salt
• 2 tbsp Butter ((optional))

Instructions

1. 1Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and thoroughly wash the leaves under cold running water.
2. 2Bring the water to a boil in a large pot and add the salt. Cut off the thickest part of the cabbage stalk and add it to the boiling water. Wait until the water returns to a boil (about 2 minutes) and let it boil for 3 minutes.
3. 3Add the next thickest part of the cabbage to the boiling water. Wait until the water returns to a boil (about 1 minute) and let it boil for 3 minutes. Finally, add the thin, leafy parts of the cabbage and boil for another 2-3 minutes, or until tender.
4. 4Drain the cabbage well in a colander. Serve plain or with butter.
