Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 3 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 tablespoons Butter
- 2 Garlic cloves (finely minced)
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove any tough or wilted outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage in half and cut out the core. Slice the cabbage into thin ribbons or shreds, about 1/4 inch thick.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.
Add the shredded cabbage to the pan in an even layer. Let it cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to allow it to caramelize on one side.
Using tongs, toss the cabbage to expose uncooked parts to the heat. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is softened and parts are deeply golden and crisp.
Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant.
Turn off the heat and drizzle the cabbage with fresh lemon juice. Toss to combine.
Transfer the frizzled cabbage to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately while warm and crisp.
