Southern Fried Cabbage

I remember the awful smell of my grandmother boiling cabbage. I couldn't believe anyone would willingly eat something that smelled that bad. As an adult I discovered fried cabbage and it has become a tradition at my house on Easter and New Years. It's not a light dish, but not much southern cooking is! Taken in moderation, it's very tasty.

Sometimes in life we miss nature, or natural. This dish is here to promote the natural flavors of the cabbage. Its subtle flavor from simply being fried. Vibrantly to the caramelized part being turned a hint of sweetness. The semi crisp has so many flavors, from just the cabbage. skunkmonkey101 -
