Steamed Fried Cabbage

I grew up eating cabbage cooked in many ways but this was always one of my favorite. When I mentioned it to my husband he had never heard of such but after eating it one time he is hooked.


Steamed Fried Cabbage

Ingredients:

1 large head of green cabbage
1 stick of real butter
Salt and Pepper to taste

Directions:

Start with a large pot. Put butter in pot on low to melt. Wash and dry cabbage, then chop into bite size pieces. Add cabbage to pot but don't overfill you'll need room to combine well with butter. You can always add a little along until all cabbage is in the pot. Salt and pepper. 

Cook until all cabbage is very wilted. Serve as a side dish.

I had never heard of this until a friend mentioned making some during the holidays. It sounded so yummy I had to make it myself. When I gave my grand-daughter a bite she said, "that is the yummiest thing I have ever tasted". 

I think everyone enjoyed it but let me tell you it was so rich that a little bit will do ya!

  • 1 1/2 cups granulated sugar
  • 6 tablespoons unsalted butter, cut into 6 pieces

  • 1 cup white chocolate chips
  • 1 cup marshmallow fluff (roughly half of a 7 ounce jar)
  • 1/2 teaspoon vanilla extract
  • 1 cup coarse Chocolate Creme Sandwich cookie crumbs*
  • 1/2 cup chopped Chocolate Creme Sandwich cookie pieces*

Instructions:

  1. Line an 8x8 pan with parchment paper.
  2. In a large heavy-bottom saucepan, combine the sugar, butter, and milk. Bring to a boil, stirring until everything is smooth and the butter has melted. Once it's at a rolling boil, cook for 5 minutes, stirring often. After 5 minutes add vanilla and stir in.
  3. In a large mixing bowl combine chocolate chips, marshmallow fluff and cookie crumbs.
