NO CAL 'Squashed
Cabbage'---by Ken Jones, York
'52:
Yes I am aware of what I eat, but my tastes have
changed. Jennifer
is at work all day. I buy and prepare all our
food. I don't think we
are extreme, but we eat mostly chicken for meat.
Mostly I make
comfort food in large batches. For example, squashed cabbage...
Sautee onions (plural) and garlic in olive
oil.
Put in crock pot.
Cut 5 pound cabbage in thin
slices.
Put in crock pot.
Add three tablespoons of soy sauce.
Cook all day and half the night in its own juices - no
water added.
Cool, put in ice box, eat next
day. |
|
You can add sausage near the end of the real cooking if you
like.
Cheap, easy, tastes good too.

ed note: It's all that sodium
and MSG-laden soy sauce that keeps this
recipe off the 'recipes for dieters' list on the left.
