Notes

How To Prep Cabbage:

Remove wilted or damaged outer leaves.
Slicing through the stem, cut cabbage into four or eight pieces then remove the hard inner core.
Chop or cut into smaller pieces with a sharp knife.

Refrigerate leftovers in a covered container for up to 4 days and freeze portions in zippered bags for up to 4 weeks. Reheat on the stovetop, covered with foil in the oven, or quickly in the microwave.
