Remove the outer layers of the cabbage if they are wilted or damaged. Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and thinly slice the quarters into shreds about 1/4-inch thick.
Finely mince the garlic cloves. Chop the fresh parsley and set it aside for garnish.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat until the butter is melted and frothy.
Add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the shredded cabbage to the pan in batches if necessary, stirring to coat with the oil and butter mixture. Cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften and wilt.
Sprinkle the smoked paprika, salt, and black pepper over the cabbage. Stir well to distribute the seasonings evenly.
Pour the apple cider vinegar over the cabbage and stir. Let the cabbage cook for an additional 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender and lightly caramelized.
Taste and adjust seasoning if needed, adding more salt, pepper, or vinegar to taste.
Transfer the cabbage to a serving dish and garnish with the chopped fresh parsley before serving.
