Steam Cabbage Recipe

I love to steam vegetables instead of boiling them to preserve the nutrients; here is a slim down version of my steam cabbage recipe. I hope you enjoy it. Do you have any low fat recipes?

Steamed Cabbage

Ingredients

1 small head of cabbage
1/2 cup of mixed vegetables(frozen or fresh)
1/4 cup of yellow onions
2 slices of bacon (optional)
1 teaspoon of olive oil
1/2 teaspoon of salt
1/4 teaspoon of pepper

In medium size pot add two cups of water, place metal vegetable steamer in pot. Allow for water to heat up and start steaming. Add cabbage, mixed vegetables, onions, seasonings and olive oil in steamer cover. Let steam for 15-20 minutes for crisp vegetables. If you prefer your cabbage soft allow an additional five to ten minutes. Monitor the water levels so you do not scorch the vegetables.

Optional meat alternatives for a complete meal are canned corned beef, cooked sliced beef or chicken, add when the cabbage is about five to seven minutes from being done. If you add corned beef eliminate the mixed vegetables in the original recipe.
