Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 1 large Yellow onion
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Begin by preparing your vegetables. Remove the outer leaves and core from the cabbage, then slice it into thin shreds. Slice the yellow onion into thin half-moons, and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt fully and combine with the oil.
Add the sliced onions to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the shredded cabbage to the pan, stirring well to combine it with the onions and garlic. Use tongs or a spatula to mix everything evenly.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes over the cabbage mixture. Stir to distribute the seasoning evenly.
Cook the mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt and pepper to suit your preferences.
Once done, transfer the sautéed cabbage and onions to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish to accompany your favorite main course.
