Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 head (medium, about 2 pounds) green cabbage
- 3 tablespoons olive oil
- 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
- 1 medium (diced) yellow onion
- 3 cloves (minced) garlic
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes
- 0.25 cup chicken or vegetable broth
- 2 tablespoons (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley
Instructions
Remove any tough outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage in half, remove the core, and then thinly slice into shreds about 1/4-inch thick.
Heat a large skillet over medium heat. Add olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt.
Add the diced onion to the skillet and cook, stirring occasionally, for 3-4 minutes or until softened and slightly translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds, being careful not to let it burn.
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet in batches, if needed, stirring to wilt it down each time until all the cabbage fits in the pan.
Sprinkle the smoked paprika, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes over the cabbage, then stir to combine evenly.
Pour in the chicken or vegetable broth. Cover the skillet with a lid and let the cabbage steam for about 5 minutes, stirring once halfway through.
Remove the lid and continue cooking for another 2-3 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and any excess liquid has evaporated.
Taste and adjust seasonings if needed. Remove from heat.
Garnish with chopped fresh parsley before serving.
Serve hot as a side dish or light main course. Enjoy!
