🥬 Cabbage Mash
Cabbage mash is a healthy, low-carb alternative to mashed potatoes, made by cooking and mashing cabbage with butter, seasonings, and sometimes a touch of cream. It’s creamy, flavorful, and pairs well with meats or roasted dishes.
🧾 Ingredients
- 1 medium Cabbage, chopped
- 2–3 tbsp Butter
- 2–3 tbsp Cream or milk (optional for extra creaminess)
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- Optional: Garlic powder, Nutmeg, or fresh herbs (parsley, chives)
👨🍳 Instructions
- Cook the cabbage
- Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Add chopped cabbage and a pinch of salt.
- Cook for 8–10 minutes until soft, then drain well.
- Mash the cabbage
- Return cabbage to the pot or a large bowl. Add butter and cream (if using).
- Mash with a potato masher or use an immersion blender for smoother texture.
- Season
- Add salt, pepper, and optional spices or herbs. Mix well.

🌟 Tips
- Extra flavor: Sauté cabbage lightly in butter before mashing for a richer taste.
