Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 1 cup Water
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 1 teaspoon Lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon Chopped parsley
Directions
Step 1
Start by removing any outer leaves from the cabbage that may be wilted or damaged. Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core from each section.
Step 2
Slice the cabbage quarters into thin strips, approximately 1/2 inch wide.
Step 3
In a large pot, bring 1 cup of water to a boil over medium-high heat. Place a steamer basket over the boiling water, making sure the water does not touch the basket.
Step 4
Add the sliced cabbage to the steamer basket, cover with a lid, and steam for about 7-8 minutes or until the cabbage is tender but still crisp.
Step 5
Once cooked, remove the cabbage from the steamer basket and place it in a large bowl.
Step 6
Drizzle the olive oil and lemon juice over the steamed cabbage. Season with salt and black pepper to taste.
Step 7
Toss everything together until the cabbage is evenly coated. Garnish with chopped parsley before serving.
Step 8
Serve immediately as a light, healthy side dish that complements various main courses.
