Grilled Cabbage

I'm not sure where I found this recipe, but it has to be the best cooked cabbage recipe by far!! Some of my friends request it a cookouts and I've even had one pay me to cook it for his family.  It's so simple, but incredibly delicious!

You will need a hot grill-gas or charcoal!

INGREDIENTS


  • 1 head of cabbage
  • 1 package of smoked sausage
  • 1 cup water
  • 1/4 (1/2 stick) cup butter 
  • 1 tsp celery seeds
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper

DIRECTIONS

  1. Chop the cabbage into approximately 2" pieces.  Be sure to discard the core.
  2. Cut up the smoked sausage into about 12 pieces.
  3. In a lasagna foil pan, place the sausage around the outer edges.
  4. Place the cabbage into the pan, starting in the center.  The pan will be full.
  5. Pour in the water.
  6. Cut the butter into 1/2" slices onto the top of the cabbage.
  7. Sprinkle on the celery seeds, salt and pepper.
  8. Cover tightly with aluminum foil.
  9. Place the pan on a hot grill on low-medium heat for about 30 minutes.
    1. Check it periodically.  If the bottom is burning, the heat is too high.  This will cook out the water. You will need to add more water if this happens.
  10. When it's done, the cabbage should have cooked down dramatically (about half of what you started with) and be soft.  
    1. If the cabbage still looks firm and opaque, cook for 10-15 more minutes.
