As the calendar turns and we welcome another year, many homes across Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tucson, and the surrounding cities of Glendale, Mesa, Tempe, and Gilbert embrace delicious culinary traditions meant to usher in luck, health, and prosperity.
Among these is the timeless dish of steamed cabbage and greens—a symbolic recipe said to bring wealth and abundance thanks to its resemblance to folded money and gold.
This year, elevate the tradition by preparing your greens in the Wolf CSO2450TE/S/T Convection Steam OvenWith its precise steam functionality, this appliance delivers perfect texture and nutrient retention—proving that wellness and flavor can indeed go hand-in-hand.
Why Steam Cabbage & Greens?
Leafy greens like cabbage, collards, and kale have long been associated with good fortune. But beyond symbolism, they’re rich in fiber, vitamins A and K, and essential minerals. Steaming is one of the gentlest and most effective ways to preserve their nutrients and enhance their natural flavor—especially when you’re using Wolf’s cutting-edge steam technology.
With the Wolf Convection Steam Oven, the guesswork is gone. It precisely combines heat and humidity to lock in moisture without overcooking, making it the perfect tool for greens that are both tender and vibrant.
Steamed Cabbage & Greens Recipe
A comforting, healthy, and symbolic side dish for your New Year’s celebration.

- 2 cups fresh collard greens or kale, stems removed and chopped

- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar or fresh lemon juice (optional, for brightness)
Instructions:
