Microwave Steamed Cabbage

Cut off sections of the cabbage, leaving half for another use.

Cut out the core of the cabbage and save it for stock.

Slice the cabbage into bite-sized pieces.

Drizzle a couple tablespoons of water over the cabbage in a microwave-safe dish.

Microwave on power level 7 for 3 and a half minutes.

Check the cabbage; it should be starting to cook and become limp.

Add 1 tablespoon of butter to the cabbage.

Sprinkle nutmeg over the cabbage to enhance the flavor.

Add a light sprinkle of cane sugar, about 1 teaspoon.

Add a little half and half and stir lightly to combine.

Microwave again for another 3 and a half minutes on power level 7.

Check the cabbage; if needed, microwave for an additional 2 minutes until done.

Remove the lid and check for doneness; the cabbage should have absorbed the seasoning.
