My grandmother, who lived to be 92, always said the key to her good health was that whenever possible, she ate cabbage. Now if that isn’t a motto worth needlepointing somewhere, I don’t what is…
But maybe Grandma was on to something. Cabbage is full of vitamins, as well as calcium and iron. And 1 cup of it has only about 20 calories, so you can load it onto your plate without worrying about your waistline.
What my grandmother didn’t tell me was exactly how she proposed eating so much cabbage. I mean, cabbage doesn’t exactly pull in clamoring crowds. Most people aren’t all that excited about it thanks to its rubbery texture when raw, it’s potent cruciferous taste, and it’s somewhat unappealing sulfuric smell when cooked.
So let’s avoid all of that. But can I talk you into roasting your cabbage?
