Sweet and Sour Cabbage Wedges

Cabbage is cheap. Cabbage is good for you. And cabbage is easy to prepare. So why aren't you cooking cabbage more often?

Here's a great recipe to get this green head back in your side dish repertoire. (Note: I would adapt in next go-round and shred the cabbage to make sure it cooks through more thoroughly...make sure you still brown it in the first step though.)

Sweet and Sour Cabbage Wedges
Serves 4.
From Everyday Food.

2 tablespoons olive oil
1/2 head green cabbage, quartered through the core
1/2 cup cider vinegar
2 tablespoons sugar
coarse salt and ground pepper

In a large skillet, heat oil over medium. Add cabbage, and cook until golden brown, 2 to 4 minutes per side.

Add vinegar, sugar and 1 1/2 cups water; bring liquid to a simmer. Cook, turning once, until cabbage is tender (test by poking it with a knife) and liquid is syrupy, 12 to 15 minutes.

Season with salt and pepper.
