Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head Green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Crushed red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, split it in half, and cut out the core. Then, thinly slice the cabbage into long shreds.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the shredded cabbage to the pan and toss to coat it evenly in the garlic-infused olive oil.
Season the cabbage with salt, black pepper, and optional crushed red pepper flakes for a hint of spice.
Continue to sauté for 7-9 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp. Adjust the cooking time if you prefer your cabbage softer.
Remove from heat. Taste and adjust seasoning if needed.
Transfer the cabbage to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish to accompany your favorite main course.
