This Buttered Rice and Cabbage is an easy comforting meal filled with healthy vegetables that I hope you’ll love as much as I do.

Cooked Cabbage Recipe
I wanted to create a recipe that would be ready in 20 minutes that is still wholesome with fresh ingredients – a meal you’ll feel good about serving the family.
Ingredients for Buttered Cabbage
The main vegetables in this recipe are cabbage and peas, 2 things that we have in abundance right now in the garden. I’ve always liked cabbage, but this Summer I turned into a real cabbage lover. I can’t get enough of it, especially sauteed and buttered! Yum. Our sugar snap peas are coming to a end this season, what’s left is those monster peas that are busting through the pods.
Buttered Rice and Cabbage Recipe
The recipe calls for 1/2 peas so you can either use frozen peas (cook them first) or you can shell fresh peas. Use whatever you hand on hand and is easiest.
This recipe calls for 4 cups of cooked rice, basmati rice (and I love this Indian rice recipe!) is my favorite but you can use any type of white rice. For those nights where you don’t have extra time you can even use instant rice.
How to make buttered cabbage
That’s easy! Melt 3 tablespoons butter in a large pan over medium high heat. Add cabbage, salt + pepper to taste. Cook for approximately 15 minutes, allowing cabbage to wilt, browning slightly. Stir it semi often. Once your cabbage is slightly browned, then add in the peas and rice, stir and you have a delicious 20 minute meal! Hope you enjoy this Buttered Cabbage and Rice meal!
