10-minute Salvation Cabbage

This recipe gets done in less time than it takes me to write about it, expecially considering it took me two attempts to actually upload the picture. It is really  my salvation on some weeknights when I need a vegetable to balance out the meal. In fact, these days I actually keep chopped cabbage handy in the fridge. It would actually take away the essense of the recipe to write a long post around it.

Ps. Have had some crazy days, the indifferent weather does not help. If I had a home bar with adjustable bar stools, I would raise mine stool, pour myself a tall glass of wine and watch while this was cooking, but instead we just drank ours with dinner.
