This is really great, especially when you consider how quick and simple it is. I've made it once as written and once with a combo of olive oil and a little bacon grease. Really delicious. As others have said, you could also throw in some onions or maybe a little garlic - haven't tried that yet but I bet it would give it an even bigger flavor boost. -
Super easy, super tasty. I threw some sliced onions into the pan about a minute before adding the cabbage. I think they added a nice flavor. I'll definitely make this again. -
Awesome! Yet so darned simple. What a great variation to preparing cabbage. I added julienne carrots for extra flavor and color and cooked the veggies till they were crisp tender. Simply marvelous...

I enjoyed this dish. I followed the recipe as written, but found it a little too salty to add sea salt at the end. Next time, I will decrease the kosher salt to 1 or 1/2 teaspoon. This fed my family of four as a side, with about 1 side portion left over. I served the cabbage with lightly-seasoned smashed potatoes and rosemary steaks. I would cook this side dish for my family again. -
This was very good and easy to make. I followed the recipe as written other then I didn't measure the salt and pepper. I also didn't add the optional sea salt either. Nice side dish.

I'm really just learning how to cook, but I hope that my skills at eating will really guide me in this endeavor. ;-) I think that sharing recipes on the internet is better than any cookbook. Of course, I founded Recipezaar, so I might be a little biased.
