Start by removing the outer leaves of the cabbage if they are wilted or damaged, then cut the cabbage in half and remove the core. Slice the cabbage into thin strips.
In a large pot or Dutch oven over medium heat, add olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt and combine with the oil.
Add the chopped onion to the pot and sautΓ© until it becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the sliced cabbage to the pot and stir well to coat with the oil, butter, onion, and garlic mixture.
Pour in the chicken broth and apple cider vinegar, and add the sea salt, black pepper, smoked paprika, and red pepper flakes. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
Increase the heat to bring the mixture to a gentle boil, then reduce the heat to low, cover the pot with a lid, and let it simmer gently for about 35-40 minutes. Stir occasionally to ensure it doesn't stick to the bottom of the pot.
Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary. Once the cabbage is tender and infused with flavors, remove from heat.
Serve warm as a side dish or main course, and enjoy this flavorful, low-carb delight.
