Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 3 tablespoons Unsalted butter
- 1 tablespoon Olive oil
- 3 cloves Garlic
- 1 cup Chicken or vegetable broth
- 1 tablespoon Apple cider vinegar
- 0.5 teaspoons Salt
- 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
Instructions
Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Quarter the cabbage and remove the core. Slice each quarter into 1/2-inch thick strips.
Peel and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat, melt the butter with the olive oil.
Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet, tossing to coat in the butter and garlic mixture. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage starts to soften.
Pour in the broth and stir in the salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes for a bit of heat if desired.
Cover the skillet with a lid, reduce the heat to low, and let the cabbage simmer for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally. Cook until the cabbage is tender but not mushy.
Uncover the skillet and stir in the apple cider vinegar. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to allow the vinegar to blend with the cabbage.
Taste and adjust the seasoning with more salt or pepper if needed.
Serve the braised cabbage warm as a low-carb side dish to accompany your favorite protein.
