Stewed Cabbage

I had some leftover cabbage from the other night and tonight we were having meatloaf so I decided to make stewed cabbage instead of the normal mashed potatoes that we would have.  Definitely no complaints in my house, but we all love cabbage.  It is a simple dish that can stew on the stove while the meatloaf is baking.

Stewed Cabbage
1/4 Cup Unsalted Butter
1 Large Red Onion, diced
3 Stalks Celery, diced (about 1 cup)
5 Cloves Garlic, minced
1 Medium Head Cabbage, shredded
1 - 14 oz can Stewed Tomatoes
Salt and Pepper to taste

• Melt butter over medium-high heat in a stock pot or large sauce pan and then add onion, celery, and garlic
• Cook for 3-5 minutes or until onion is tender
• Add cabbage and reduce heat to medium-low and cook uncovered for 15 minutes
• Add stewed tomatoes, salt, and pepper mix well then cover and cook for about 30 minutes or until cabbage is tender

Super easy and a healthy side dish that can go with many meals.  Below is the nutritional information per serving.  This makes about 12 servings.
