Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (medium, about 2 pounds) Green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoon Salt
- 0.25 teaspoon Freshly ground black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Remove any wilted or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and slice it into thin strips about 1/4 inch thick.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter is melted and begins to sizzle.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn.
Add the sliced cabbage to the pan in batches, stirring after each addition to allow it to wilt slightly before adding more. Once all the cabbage is in the pan, increase the heat to medium-high.
Sprinkle the cabbage with salt and black pepper. Sauté for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is softened and lightly browned in spots.
Reduce the heat to low and stir in the apple cider vinegar. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the flavors to meld together.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Transfer the cooked cabbage to a serving platter. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if using, and serve warm.
