Vegetables
- 4 cups shredded cabbage (about half a medium head)
Fats & Oils
- 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
Seasonings
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper, or to taste
- Prepare the cabbage: Rinse the cabbage under cold water and shred it finely using a knife or a food processor to yield about 4 cups.
- Melt the butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter until it becomes bubbly but not browned.
- Sauté the garlic: Add the minced garlic to the melted butter and cook for about 1 minute, stirring frequently to prevent the garlic from burning, until fragrant.
- Add the cabbage: Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to coat all the cabbage in the garlic butter mixture.
- Cook until tender: Sauté the cabbage for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it softens and becomes tender, but still slightly crisp.
- Season and serve: Season the cabbage with salt and freshly ground black pepper to taste. Stir well and serve warm as a side dish or light entree.
Notes
- For extra flavor, sprinkle with grated Parmesan or a squeeze of lemon juice before serving.
- This dish pairs well with roasted meats, grilled chicken, or can be enjoyed on its own.
- Use fresh garlic for the best flavor; garlic powder can be substituted in a pinch.
- Adjust salt and pepper according to your preference.
- To make it vegan, substitute butter with a plant-based margarine or olive oil.
