Ingredients
Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons extra-virgin olive oil
- 2 garlic cloves, thinly sliced
- 1 small green cabbage, thinly sliced (about 1½ pounds)
- 1 teaspoon sea salt
- Freshly ground black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
Instructions
- Heat the olive oil: Pour the extra-virgin olive oil into a large skillet and warm it over medium heat until hot.
- Cook the garlic: Add the thinly sliced garlic cloves and stir constantly for about 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let the garlic brown.
- Add and cook cabbage: Add the thinly sliced cabbage, sprinkle with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Toss everything together and cook for approximately 2 minutes until the cabbage starts to soften.
- Add vinegar and finish cooking: Pour in the apple cider vinegar, toss the cabbage again, and continue cooking while stirring or tossing occasionally. Cook until most of the liquid evaporates and the cabbage becomes tender and browned, about 6 minutes.
- Season and serve: Adjust seasoning to taste, then remove from heat and serve the sautéed cabbage warm as a delicious side dish.
Notes
- For a spicier flavor, add red pepper flakes when cooking garlic.
- Use a large skillet to ensure even cooking and prevent overcrowding.
- Serve as a side dish with roasted meats, grilled fish, or as a topping for rice bowls.
- For a vegan version, this recipe is naturally vegan and gluten-free.
