Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head cabbage
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 3 garlic cloves
- 1 small red onion
- 1 medium red bell pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon dried oregano
- 2 tablespoons fresh parsley
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and cut it in half. Slice the cabbage thinly and set aside.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Peel and thinly slice the red onion. Seed and slice the red bell pepper into thin strips.
Place a large skillet over medium heat and add the extra virgin olive oil.
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sliced red onion. Sauté for 2-3 minutes until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
Add the sliced red bell pepper and continue to sauté for another 2 minutes, allowing the bell pepper to soften slightly.
Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet, stirring well to combine with the other ingredients.
Pour the lemon juice over the cabbage mixture, then sprinkle with sea salt, black pepper, and dried oregano.
Stir the ingredients well, then cover the skillet with a lid and allow the cabbage to cook for 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender but still has a slight crunch.
Remove the lid and taste the cabbage to adjust seasonings if necessary.
Once cooked to the desired tenderness, remove from heat and transfer the cabbage mixture to a serving dish.
Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.
Serve warm as a side dish or as part of a Mediterranean-inspired meal.
