Betty’s Cabbage Medley

Growing up in a classic meat-and-potatoes family, I can’t remember a meal that didn’t include meat. As an adult, I’ve learned you don’t always have to have meat at dinner. This dish is a perfect choice for a meal that is all veggies and will leave you full and satisfied.

Recipe information

  • Yield

    serves 4

Ingredients

1 cup sliced carrots, 1/4-inch rounds
1 cup thinly sliced onion
1 cup diced celery
1 small head cabbage, cut in chunks (about 6 cups)
1 tablespoon sugar
2 cups warm water
1/4 cup corn oil

Preparation

  1. Step 1

    In a large heavy saucepan with a tight-fitting lid, arrange the vegetables in layers in the following order: Spread the carrots on the bottom of the pan, then top with the onions, celery, and cabbage. Sprinkle the sugar on top, and then pour in the warm water and oil. Cover the pan tightly and cook over high heat for 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are done but still crunchy. Remove the lid, stir the vegetables, then replace the lid and let the vegetables stand for 20 minutes, or until you are ready to serve.
