Steps to make Boiled Cabbage:
- Shred your cabbage first, cutting the larger leaves into small, bite size pieces. Place into a colander and wash thoroughly.
- Once washed, transfer cabbage into a large pot. It must be big enough to put the cabbages in and still have room to fill with water to about 3/4 full, just over the cabbage itself. Set aside momentarily.
- In an iron skillet, fry your salt pork to the point of browning. Once completed, pour the salt pork, and grease it created, into the pot with your cabbage. Pour slowly! You're mixing water and hot grease!
- Add about 3 tbsp of Cajun seasoning and 3 tbsp of garlic salt. Believe me, this is not enough, and you will need to add more as the cabbage cooks and you taste it.
- Put your pot on the burner and set to medium high. I usually put a lid on but leave it cracked so it doesn't boil over. Open a window. Otherwise your whole house will smell like cabbage when you're done. Stir about every 15 minutes and monitor your water level just in case it drops drastically (it shouldn't).
- After about 2 to 2.5 hours on the stove, your cabbage should have a slightly wilted texture, but not be overly mushy. At this point it's done. Remove from heat.
- Serve with the rest of the southern food you're eating that day!
