Bring a large pot of water to a boil. Using a sharp knife, cut a deep circle around the core of the cabbage to loosen the leaves. Submerge the whole head in the boiling water and cook for 3–4 minutes, until the outer leaves are pliable and pull away easily. Use tongs to peel off 10–12 leaves as they soften, transferring them to a cutting board. Return the head to the water as needed to loosen additional leaves. Pat the leaves dry.
