SPICY COOKED CABBAGE 
1 small head of green cabbage
1/4 small onion
2 heads garlic or 2 teaspoons garlic powder
sprinkle of ground cumin
sprinkle of cayenne pepper
sprinkle of cinnamon and sugar
sprinkle of sea salt
a few grinds of fresh black pepper
10 mustard seeds
1 teaspoon celery salt or whole seeds
1 (or a part of) small hot pepper, diced finely
5 t. vinegar (I recommend balsamic, rice wine or apple cider, according to your taste)

Put a large pot of water on stove to boil. Chop cabbage head into cole slaw size pieces (fairly small). Chop onion and garlic. Add all other ingredients to pot of water and add cabbage, onion and garlic when the water is boiling. Simmer for 30 minutes. Drain. Fill pot back up with cold water and let sit on stove for five minutes. Drain. Add butter, if desired, and serve.

Made this tonight. It was a wonderful way to upgrade "dull" cabbage.

Fantastic: I did change up a little (as most people do) to their taste... did not use cinnamon/sugar/or celery. I did cook the cabbage in chicken broth vs/water... added little juice from pepperoncini, 4 slices crumbled crisp bacon. When finished... placed thick pieces of canned corned beef over (covered to steam beef)... about 7 minutes. This will now always be my go to recipe for cooked cabbage... with a slab of corned bread on the side...
