Ingredients

1/2 stick unsalted butter
1/2 cup pulverized, seasoned croutons
2 pinches dry mustard
1 teaspoon caraway seeds
1 small head cabbage, shredded
1 tablespoon kosher salt
1 tablespoon sugar

Directions

Fill your largest pot 3/4 full with water and bring to a boil on high heat.

Melt the butter and croutons in a skillet. Add the mustard and caraway seeds and stir over medium heat until the butter browns and smells nutty. Remove the skillet from the heat, but leave dressing in the pan.

Add the salt and sugar to the boiling water and cook until dissolved. Place the cabbage in the boiling water and cook for 2 minutes exactly.

Drain the cabbage in the bowl of the salad spinner or colander. Spin the cabbage to remove any excess water. Add the cabbage to the butter-crumb dressing and toss to coat thoroughly.

Great Recipe!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

Being a cabbage lover since childhood, I only cooked it one way, boiled in a little water with salt and bacon grease. As I... age, I think more about healthy food and this reciepe gives a new way to eat cabbage. Thanks Alton.Read more

Easy to make and tastes great
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I like caraway seeds but you can reduce the amount if you don,t. I had to use a prepared mustard because that is all that I... had and since then I have tried different types, all with excellent results.Read more

Excited about cabbage? oh yeah
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I saw this recipe on GE and had to try it. My family and I absolutely loved how simple and easy it is, and yes, no soggy... cabbage, no cabbagy smell. You can easily modify it to fit your tastes as well, or use unseasoned croutons and add your own seasoning, etc. Read more

Made me want to eat when I was recovering from surgery!
Rated: 5 stars out of 5

I had no appetite or energy when I was recovering from a big operation. My husband saw this recipe on the show and decided to... try it. Well, it brought back my appetite and it was easy enough for him to make. It is tasty and very nutritious! I'm all better now and I'm going to make it myself!Read more

Yummy!
Rated: 4 stars out of 5

I use double the amount of bread crumbs because it can get a little bland if you cook a big head of cabbage. I have made... this for YEARS and love it!!!Read more
