Braised Cabbage

Another St. Patty's day geared dish for you. I went all in and made corned beef this week in the instant pot. Along with it I made this as a side dish. Relatively simple to make and cabbage is healthy for you. Ryan and I hate to reheat it due to the odor so we ate this whole thing in one sitting. Not even mad about it because it was delicious!

What you need~
1 green cabbage diced or shredded
1 onion diced
4 cloves of garlic minced
1 can of beer (I used Guinness as that is what I had)
2 tablespoons of butter
1 tablespoon bacon grease or olive oil
Nature's seasoning to taste
Cinnamon sugar to taste

Start by putting your bacon grease or olive oil in a pan and heat the pan to medium heat. Add your cabbage, onion and garlic and let this cook for 2 minutes before adding some of the beer. You slowly add this as it gets absorbed by the cabbage. This process takes about a half hour to have it properly break down. Make sure you season with your natures seasoning as you go and keep adding that beer so the mixture does not burn. Do not add all of the beer at once you do not want the cabbage swimming. Close to the end of cooking when you feel all the beer is used up and the cabbage is the right consistency then you want add the butter and a little cinnamon sugar. The cinnamon sugar is added to cut through any bitterness from the cabbage or beer in the dish.

Enjoy this nice and hot!

Starting out in the pot.

Yum!

All ready to be devoured!

I love cooking cabbage this way. We often eat it like this with sausage and brats. Worked really well with light beer as well as dark. If you do not  want to use beer you can always use some sort of broth to braise. All liquids work just depends on the flavor profile you want.

Until next time~
