Instructions
- Start by preparing the cabbage. Remove any wilted outer leaves and cut the cabbage into thick wedges, keeping the core intact so the pieces hold their shape during cooking. Place the wedges carefully into the slow cooker, layering them evenly.
- Add flavor by dotting the butter over the cabbage wedges or drizzle with olive oil if preferred. Sprinkle salt and black pepper evenly across all wedges. Then pour the broth gently around the edges to allow even moisture distribution while cooking.
- Cover the slow cooker with its lid and cook on low heat for about 4 to 5 hours, or on high for 2 to 3 hours. The cabbage will become soft and flavorful, absorbing the buttery broth beautifully. Once done, transfer to a serving dish and drizzle some of the cooking juices on top before serving warm.
Tips
For extra flavor, you can add a few minced garlic cloves or a splash of apple cider vinegar before cooking. If you enjoy smoky notes, toss in a small piece of cooked bacon or smoked sausage along with the cabbage. This simple dish pairs perfectly with roasted chicken, beef, or even rice for a wholesome and comforting meal.
