How Do I Prepare Cabbage For Cooking?
To prepare cabbage for cooking, first remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves. Rinse the cabbage under running water and use a sharp knife to cut it into quarters or wedges, depending on how you plan to cook it. For shredded cabbage, slice it thinly with a knife or use a food processor or mandolin. If boiling or steaming the cabbage, cut out the core first. If roasting or grilling, leave the core intact to keep the wedges or quarters from falling apart.
