Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Olive oil
- 1 tablespoon Butter
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional)
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional)
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage if they are damaged. Cut the cabbage in half, remove the core, and thinly slice the cabbage into shreds.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt and combine with the oil.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet in batches if necessary, stirring to coat evenly in the oil and butter.
Sprinkle the cabbage with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir to combine.
Cook the cabbage for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender and has developed light caramelized spots. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.
Taste and adjust seasoning with more salt or pepper, if desired.
Finish with a sprinkle of fresh parsley for added color and flavor, if using.
Serve immediately as a side dish or pair with your favorite protein for a complete meal.
