Buttered cabbage is a traditional dish originating from Ireland. Although there are many variations, it’s usually made with a combination of cabbage, butter, salt, and black pepper. The cabbage is shredded and placed in a wide saucepan with a bit of water, butter, and a pinch of salt.

The mixture is brought to a boil over high heat, the pan is covered, and the dish is cooked for a few minutes. A bit of salt and pepper is added to the pan, along with an extra knob of butter, the dish is stirred, and it’s then served while hot, usually as an accompaniment to meat dishes.
