Ingredients

Scale

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

Instructions

  1. 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.
  2. Melt the butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of unsalted butter until it becomes bubbly but not browned.
  3. 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.
  4. Add the cabbage: Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to coat all the cabbage in the garlic butter mixture.
  5. Cook until tender: Sauté the cabbage for 8 to 10 minutes, stirring occasionally until it softens and becomes tender, but still slightly crisp.
  6. 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.
