The Perfect Way to Cook Your St. Patrick’s Day Cabbage
This Saturday is St. Patrick’s Day, and many people will be celebrating with Corned Beef and cabbage.
It’s tempting to boil the cabbage in the same pot with the Corned Beef. After all, you already have a big ‘ol piece of beef simmering in water, so why not plop your cabbage in along with it?
Well, that works, and might be traditional. But the salty broth your corned beef cooks in can mute the flavor of the cabbage. And most people cook cabbage too long, resulting in an odor many find offensive.
A better way to cook cabbage — or just about any veggie — is to steam it separately. It will taste much better, look more attractive, and retain more nutrients.
And steaming is almost as easy as boiling.
