Nana's Fried Cabbage image

This is my Nana's recipe, taught to me when I was little. She used Rotel tomatoes, but I can't take the spicyness.

Time 30m

Number Of Ingredients 6

1/2 medium head of cabbage, shredded
1 large onions, yellow, chopped
1 3/4 Tbsp olive oil, light
2 c pace picante sauce
1 1/4 c monterey jack cheese, shredded
dash(es) salt and pepper

Steps:

  • 1. In a large (12" or larger) skillet heat the olive oil over medium heat and add onions, then the cabbage. Lightly salt and then cover the skillet.
  • 2. Allow the cabbage to "sweat and wilt" - the onions will be clear, and the cabbage will be translucent when done. You may want to stir gently with a wooden spatula to keep either cabbage or onions from sticking.
  • 3. Add Pace Picante sauce - your choice of "heat" - mild, medium or hot. When thoroughly heated, turn off heat, sprinkle cheese over top of the mixture and cover again until cheese is melted. Serve.
