Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (medium, about 2 pounds) Green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
- 2 cloves Garlic
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage if they are wilted or damaged. Rinse the cabbage under running water and pat it dry.
Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and thinly slice each quarter into shreds about 1/4 inch wide.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Set aside.
In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter has melted and starts to sizzle.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for about 30 seconds, stirring frequently, until it is fragrant but not browned.
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to coat the cabbage with the oil and butter mixture.
Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes over the cabbage. Stir again to evenly distribute the seasoning.
Cook the cabbage over medium heat for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally. Allow the cabbage to cook until it becomes tender and slightly caramelized at the edges. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper, if necessary.
Transfer the sautéed cabbage to a serving dish. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley, if desired, and serve warm.
