Wash and clean the cabbage. Cut each head into quarters.
Roughly chop or slice the cabbage directly into a medium saucepan, discarding the tough core.
Season the cabbage in the pot with black pepper and salt to your liking.
Add the lard on top of the seasoned cabbage.
Pour in enough water to come about halfway up the cabbage in the pot.
Place the pot on the stove over high heat, cover with a lid, and bring to a boil.
Once it starts boiling, reduce the heat to a simmer to prevent it from boiling over.
Cook for about 20-25 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender.
During the last few minutes of cooking, you can turn the heat back up to high to cook off some of the excess water if desired.
Taste the cabbage and adjust seasoning if necessary. Serve warm.
