Ingredients

  • one has tried
  • two eggs in dressing when serving warm
  • salt

Directions

1

Trim cabbage and if not very crisp let stand in cold or ice water 1 hr. or over night. Drain, cut into sixths, eighths or any number of pieces 1-1½ in. across the broadest part. Lay in sufficient boiling salted water to cover; let come to the boiling point and set back on the stove where it will simmer gently ½-¾ of an hour, until tender only, and still perfectly white. Drain and lay on to hot dish with pieces overlapping. Serve at once.

2

Until one has tried it, he will not know how delightfully sweet this cabbage is, perfectly plain, eaten slowly with Brazil nuts, filberts, almonds or English walnuts. It may be served with olive oil or lemon juice, or with both together or with sauce 16, 34 or 57, or with the sour cream or sour milk salad dressing without cooling. Use two eggs in dressing when serving warm.

3

If cooked until it begins to turn dark, cabbage will have a strong flavor and will be indigestible.

4

_To Parboil_--Put at first into a large quantity of unsalted boiling water, cook 15 m., drain carefully, sprinkle with salt, pour boiling water over and proceed as above.
