Steamed Cabbage

This recipe is one of my favorite "go-to" recipes when I have cabbage in the frige. I read about preparing cabbage in this way in a cookbook on southern cooking; before then, I had never heard of it. This preparation is so simple and tasty. This is my version of the original created by the cookbook author. Blessings...

Recipe: 

2 cups shredded cabbage
1/2 tsp. butter
1/2 - 1 tsp. fresh lemon juice
lemon-pepper seasoning

1. Steam the cabbage in a vegetable steamer basket until crisp-tender; just a few minutes. Don't overcook as the cabbage will get mushy and unappealing. Remove to a serving bowl.
2. In a small bowl, melt butter in the microwave; stir in 1/2 tsp. lemon juice. Pour the dressing over the cabbage and sprinkle with lemon-pepper seasoning. Taste and add more lemon juice and lemon-pepper seasoning a bit at a time until the desired taste.

Yield: 2 servings.
Note: This recipe is easily increased for a larger family.
