Cabbage for Weight Loss Directions
- Start by gathering all the necessary ingredients to ensure a smooth cooking process.
- Choose a young cabbage for its tenderness and flavor, ensuring it's firm and free of blemishes.
- Finely chop the half-head of cabbage; smaller pieces will cook faster and absorb flavors better.
- Rinse the chopped cabbage under cold water to remove any dirt or impurities, then drain well.
- In a large saucepan, bring 2 cups of water to a boil over medium-high heat.
- Once boiling, add the finely chopped cabbage, stirring gently to submerge all pieces.
- Cook the cabbage for about 5-7 minutes, or until tender. Cooking time may vary based on the freshness of the cabbage.
- While the cabbage cooks, crack the eggs into a bowl and whisk thoroughly until yolks and whites are fully combined.
- Add a pinch of salt and any optional ingredients like garlic powder for extra flavor, mixing well.
- Once the cabbage is cooked, drain it thoroughly to prevent the dish from becoming soggy.
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the drained cabbage with the beaten eggs and shredded mozzarella cheese, stirring until evenly mixed.
- If using olive oil, lightly grease a non-stick skillet or frying pan over medium heat to prevent sticking.
- Pour the cabbage, egg, and cheese mixture into the heated pan, spreading it out evenly.
- Cook for about 5-7 minutes, or until the bottom is golden brown and the eggs are set. Use a spatula to check the edges.
- For more even cooking, carefully flip the mixture to brown the other side, or finish under a broiler for 2-3 minutes for a crispy top.
- Once fully cooked, remove from heat and allow to cool for a minute before slicing into wedges.
- Optionally, sprinkle fresh herbs on top for added flavor and presentation.
- Serve warm as a main course or side dish; it pairs well with a light salad or steamed vegetables.
