Creamed Cabbage

This recipe is for those who like cabbage, which I do. It is from "Old Time Recipes To Enjoy", "The Kentucky Explorer Magazine", June, 2016.

Creamed Cabbage

One pint of chopped cabbage, two tablespoons of flour, two tablespoons of butter, one-fourth teaspoon of salt, and one cup of milk.

Delicious!
I could imagine that one or two chopped onions, depending on the size of the cabbage, could add a hearty flavor to the dish.

I also love cabbage. And there is a variety, sold here as "jaroma cabbage" that has the taste of white cabbage but doesn't come in ball shape but nearly in disc shape, and has none of the unpleasant side effects on the digestive system - but it is about 4 times as expensive as simple white cabbage.

If cooked in an open pot it is said that cabbage does not cause belly ache ...

Sounds like wonderful cabbage. I haven't ever seen it here.

This Buttered Cabbage recipe is from 1862 from Godey's. It calls for onions.

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.

I could see this going really well with any fried sausage. I wonder if you put a smokey sausage in the cabbage mixture once both are cooked if that would lend a smokey flavor to the cabbage as well and a bit something extra to the flavoring.

We too have served cabbage for New Years Day. It is not too late, as only the 3rd. Try this delicious recipe
