Vegetables Buttered Cabbage

buttered cabbage
(from Godey's Ladies Magazine, edited by Sarah J. Hale, 1862)

Ingredients:

cabbage​

onions​

pepper & salt​

butter​

Instructions:

​

Boil the cabbage with a quantity of onions, then chop them together, season with pepper and salt, and fry them in butter. It is a rather homely, but savory dish, and frequently used either with fried sausages laid over it or as an accompaniment to roast beef, and forms part of bubble and squeak.​

This sound like a good lunch for today, St. Patrick's Day.

 

[MRB1863]

Sounds good! Mrs MRB cooks sausage in a large cast iron skillet til done & browned then adds coarse chopped cabbage, a touch of vinegar, water and black pepper. Covers 'til the cabbage is wilted and tender. Sometimes adds sliced or diced potatoes while cooking the sausage. It's a hearty comfort food especially on a cold damp day.
