Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 3 large carrots
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
- 2 cloves garlic
- 1 cup vegetable stock or chicken stock
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Remove the tough outer leaves of the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and slice it into 1/2-inch strips.
Peel the carrots and slice them into thin rounds (about 1/4-inch thick).
Cut the onion in half, peel it, and slice it into thin strips.
Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh parsley.
Heat the olive oil and butter in a large, heavy-bottomed skillet or Dutch oven over medium heat.
Add the sliced onion and cook for 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until soft and golden.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 1 additional minute until fragrant.
Add the sliced carrots and cabbage to the pan. Stir to combine with the onions and garlic.
Pour the vegetable or chicken stock over the vegetables. Bring the mixture to a simmer.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet or Dutch oven with a lid, and let the vegetables braise for 25–30 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage and carrots are tender.
Once cooked, stir in the apple cider vinegar, salt, and black pepper. Adjust seasoning to taste.
Remove from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the top for garnish.
Serve warm as a side dish or a light main course.
