Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 2 minced Garlic cloves
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 2 tablespoons, chopped Optional: parsley or cilantro
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and rinse the head thoroughly under cold water to remove any dirt or debris.
Cut the cabbage into quarters and remove the core. Then, finely chop the cabbage into rice-sized pieces, or pulse in a food processor in small batches to achieve a rice-like texture.
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet and stir to combine with the garlic and oil.
Season with salt and black pepper. Keep stirring and cooking for 5-7 minutes, or until the cabbage has softened and resembles the texture of rice.
Taste and adjust seasonings as needed. If desired, stir in chopped parsley or cilantro for added freshness.
Serve immediately as a low-carb substitute for rice or as a base for your favorite toppings and sauces.
