Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 cloves Garlic (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove any loose or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage in half and remove the core, then finely shred or chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.
If using garlic, mince the cloves and set aside.
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat and add the 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter.
Once the butter has melted and begins to foam, add the cabbage to the pan. Toss to coat the cabbage evenly with the butter.
Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the cabbage. If using garlic, stir it in at this stage.
Cook the cabbage for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender and slightly golden around the edges. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Taste the cabbage and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if desired.
Optionally, garnish the cabbage with chopped fresh parsley before serving for a fresh, bright finish.
Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course.
