Remove the outer leaves of the red cabbage, then slice the cabbage in half and remove the core. Thinly slice the cabbage into shreds.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat.
Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the shredded red cabbage to the skillet and toss to coat in the olive oil and garlic.
Cook the cabbage for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it begins to soften.
In a small bowl, mix the apple cider vinegar, honey, salt, black pepper, and water until well combined.
Pour the vinegar mixture over the cabbage in the skillet. Stir to evenly distribute the liquid.
Reduce the heat to low, cover the skillet with a lid, and let the cabbage cook for another 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it reaches your desired tenderness.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with additional salt or pepper if needed.
Transfer the sautéed red cabbage to a serving dish and garnish with freshly chopped parsley if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish and enjoy!
