Boiled Cabbage

Shred cabbage or cut it into wedges (eat the core separately if you like-it tastes like kohlrabi!) and drop it in boiling, salted water. Cook uncovered until the leaves are tender (5-10 minutes). Pour into colander, shake off water, and press with a towel to wick off excess moisture. Toss it in butter or oil, salt and pepper, and any of the following seasonings: Cheese (cheddar, Taleggio, Teleme, Parmesan), Mustard, horseradish, caraway, curry spices, juniper, Dill, marjoram, sage, Apples, apple cider vinegar, lemon juice, Potatoes, buckwheat, or Pasta! What I am going to do tonight is boil the cabbage, and while it is in the pot, survey the cupboards to see what shakes out.
I also bet quinoa, bulger, or pearl couscous would go great with it.
