One of my favorite thrifty recipes: fried cabbage – an easy and delicious side.
If you search the internet, you will find many fried cabbage recipes. There are many variations for the type of oil
A few months ago my Aunt Diane made fried cabbage with meatloaf and potatoes. I BEGGED her for the recipe. She said it was really simple. All you need is olive oil
I love this thrifty recipe because cabbage is $0.39/lb in my area. Even if yours is not that cheap, it is likely one of the least expensive vegetables available. Being a diabetic, I need to eat all of the vegetables I can.
I’m sharing the combination of ingredients I’ve come up with for my favorite fried cabbage recipe. You can roast these in the oven or saute them on the stove
Here’s what you need:
3 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
1 medium head green cabbage
coarse salt
Step One: Cut the head of cabbage in half with a sharp knife
Step Two: Slice each half into 1-inch-thick rounds and place them in a single layer on the sheet
Step Three: Place them in a single layer on the sheet
Step Four: Brush with 2 tbsp oil. Season with coarse salt (and ground pepper).
Step Five: Roast until cabbage is tender and edges are golden, 20 to 25 minutes.
Turn over and continue cooking for another 20 to 25 minutes.

You can't go wrong with cabbage...Love it
I agree, omit the oil and maybe some extra bacon, but I have always added splash of red wine vinegar to fried cabbage and use brown sugar for the white.
