Notes
- If you have a large pan, you can cut a whole head of cabbage and cook in batches. Cooked cabbage can be frozen for up to 3 months.
- Coleslaw mix can be used but is thin and will only need 8-10 minutes to cook.
- Optional additions include 2 cloves of minced garlic (added with the cabbage), parmesan cheese, or a squeeze of lemon juice or apple cider vinegar.
- If you're short on time, add a few tablespoons of chicken broth to the cabbage in the pan. This will help it to steam as it cooks, reducing cooking time and adding flavor!
