Share your smothered cabbage recipe

Mine is about as basic as it gets, cabbage, I just chopped up four heads
2 packs of pig tails, one pack was smoked
Some salt and pepper
Little bit of water
Let cook until the cabbage cooks down to your liking

Just made mine today, I love it. Just the way my grandmother used to make it

I cook it the exact same way I do collards/mustards. Bacon. Onion and garlic. Misc seasoning. Sauté the cabbage down and then add water and chicken base. Simmer until soft. End with a heavy splash of vinegar.

1 lb andouille cut into small pieces
1 lb Tasso, cubed
1 head cabbage, large size (chopped)
1teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
1/2 teaspoon black pepper
1 table spoon sugar
1 small onion

DIRECTIONS

In a large saucepan, brown meat over medium heat.
Add onion and saute for 3 minutes.
Add cabbage and cover.
Cook about 50 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Uncover and add seasonings, cook 5 minutes more.
Serve as a main dish over rice or as a side with some cornbread, of course. ;).
Enjoy! ;)

Why are y’all adding water? Salting the cabbage should yield plenty of liquid.

Did this one last year and I thought it was great.

Emeril's Favorite Cabbage

Ingredients
1/2 pound bacon, coarsely chopped
4 cups thinly sliced onions
1 1/4 teaspoons salt
1/4 teaspoon cayenne pepper
3/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
1/2 teaspoon sugar
3 bay leaves
1 head green or white cabbage (about 3 1/2 pounds), cored and thinly sliced
1 (12-ounce) bottle beer

Directions
Cook the bacon in a large, heavy pot or Dutch oven over medium-high heat, until browned and slightly crispy, about 5 minutes. Add the onions, salt, cayenne, black pepper, sugar, and bay leaves. Cook, stirring, until the onions are soft, about 5 minutes. Add the cabbage and stir to mix well. Cook, stirring, until the cabbage just begins to wilt or soften, 3 to 4 minutes. Reduce the heat to medium-low, and add the beer. Stir to mix.

Cover and simmer, stirring occasionally, for 1 hour. Remove the bay leaves. Remove from the heat and serve warm.
