But I can tell you, if done right it can be really great like as a Fried Cabbage, in a Cabbage Roll Soup or Cabbage Roll Casserole.

These Cabbage Steaks are no exception and are full of flavor. They do have a wonderfully textured interior and are seriously one of the most amazing ways to prepare cabbage.

In a small bowl, combine olive oil with pressed garlic and a pinch of salt and pepper.
