Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (medium) Green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 2 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Ground black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
- 0.25 cup Water or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Rinse the cabbage under cold water to clean it.
Cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and slice it into thin strips about 1/2 inch wide.
Peel and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the butter and olive oil to the pan and let the butter melt.
Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic and sauté for about 1 minute until fragrant. Be careful not to let it burn.
Add the sliced cabbage to the pan. Toss it in the butter and garlic mixture to coat evenly.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and paprika over the cabbage. Stir well to combine the seasonings.
Pour the water or vegetable broth into the pan. Cover the pan with a lid and reduce the heat to medium-low.
Cook the cabbage for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender but not mushy. If needed, add a splash more water or broth to prevent sticking.
Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to evaporate excess liquid and caramelize the cabbage slightly.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the cooked cabbage to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve hot as a side dish with your favorite main course. Enjoy!
