Cabbages
Ingredients
Directions
Pick and wash the cabbages thoroughly.
Boil in a well-tinned copper saucepan with plenty of water.
Add coarse sea salt to the water before adding the cabbages.
Remove from heat when the stalks are tender but before they lose their color.
Serve whole as they come out of the pot.
