Recipe Information
Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 large yellow onion
- 2 large garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon salt
- 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
- 0.5 teaspoon smoked paprika
- 1 cup sour cream
- 1 teaspoon vinegar (white or apple cider)
- 2 tablespoons parsley (optional, for garnish)
Instructions
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, core it, and slice it into thin shreds.
Peel and dice the onion, and mince the garlic cloves.
In a large skillet or sauté pan, melt the butter over medium heat.
Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until soft and translucent.
Stir in the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1 minute until fragrant.
Add the shredded cabbage to the pan, stirring to coat it in the butter and onions.
Sprinkle the cabbage with salt, black pepper, and smoked paprika, then stir to combine.
Cook the cabbage over medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it is tender but still retains a slight crunch.
Remove the skillet from the heat and let the cabbage cool slightly, about 2-3 minutes.
In a small bowl, mix the sour cream with the vinegar until smooth.
Gently fold the sour cream mixture into the cooked cabbage until evenly coated.
Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.
Transfer the Sour Cream Cabbage to a serving dish and garnish with chopped parsley, if desired.
Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy on its own.
