Coop Cabbage

No image, ate it all.

Cabbage is nutrient poor, bulky, and generally unappetizing. Why eat cabbage? It has fiber, it's cheap, and readily available. This recipe makes even this awkward vegetable a tasty treat. By cooking it slowly, the starch in the cabbages breaks down, making it sweeter, and everything tastes better with a liberal dose of olive oil, salt, and pepper.

Ingredients:
Cabbage. You'll have to cover these with a fire, so keep that in mind. You don't necessarily want to have to make a roaring bonfire just to cook some cabbages.
Tinfoil.
Olive oil.
Salt.
Pepper.
Sriracha, or other awesome hot sauce.

Take a cabbage, rub it liberally with olive oil, salt and pepper. Wrap in tinfoil, preferably several layers as it will be rolled around in a fire, which tends to cause the outer layer to become punctured. Place into the fire, ideally covering the entire cabbage with hot coals. Let it sit until soft to the poke.

Remove from the fire, quarter and eat. Add hot sauce to taste, and more salt and pepper if needed.
