How to Make Amazing Cabbage You Ll Want To Eat A Whole One

1. **Prepare the Anchovy Butter:** In a food processor, combine 2 cloves garlic, 1 tablespoon fresh rosemary leaves, 4 anchovy fillets (packed in oil, drained), and 1 cup (2 sticks) unsalted butter, softened. Process until finely chopped and well combined.
2. **Shape and Store the Butter:** Transfer the mixture to a sheet of plastic wrap. Shape into a log, wrap tightly, and refrigerate or freeze until needed.
3. **Prep the Cabbage:** Halve a medium-sized cabbage (about 1.5 lbs) and remove the core.
4. **Separate the Leaves:** Separate the leaves, cutting any large ones in half.
5. **Blanch the Cabbage:** Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the cabbage and boil for 5 minutes.
6. **Ice Bath:** Immediately transfer the cabbage to a large bowl of ice water to stop the cooking process. This keeps the cabbage vibrant and crisp.
7. **Drain and Chill (Optional):** Drain the cabbage well. You can refrigerate for up to 2 days if desired.
8. **Cook the Cabbage:** Melt 1/4 cup of the anchovy butter in a large skillet over medium heat. Cook for about 45 seconds, until slightly sizzling.
9. **Sauté:** Add the blanched cabbage to the skillet. Cook gently until heated through and coated in the butter, about 5-7 minutes, allowing excess water to evaporate.
10. **Season and Serve:** Season generously with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Serve immediately and enjoy!
11. **Storage:** Store leftover anchovy butter in the freezer for up to 3 months.
