Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and quarter the cabbage to make it easier to handle.
Cut out the core from each quarter and then chop the cabbage into roughly 1-2 inch pieces.
Using a food processor, pulse the cabbage pieces in batches until they resemble the size and texture of rice grains. Be careful not to over-process.
Dice the onion and finely mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the processed cabbage 'rice' to the skillet.
Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic, and cook for about 7-10 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but retains some crunch.
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Add the lemon juice for a fresh, zesty finish and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Remove from heat and serve immediately as a side dish or light main course.
