Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 1 large Yellow onion
• 2 cloves Garlic
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 1 tablespoon Unsalted butter
• 0.5 teaspoons Salt
• 0.25 teaspoons Black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoons Red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Begin by preparing your vegetables. Remove the outer leaves and core from the cabbage, then slice it into thin shreds. Slice the yellow onion into thin half-moons, and mince the garlic cloves.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Allow the butter to melt fully and combine with the oil.

Step 3

Add the sliced onions to the pan and cook for 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they begin to soften and turn translucent.

Step 4

Stir in the minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to let it burn.

Step 5

Add the shredded cabbage to the pan, stirring well to combine it with the onions and garlic. Use tongs or a spatula to mix everything evenly.

Step 6

Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and optional red pepper flakes over the cabbage mixture. Stir to distribute the seasoning evenly.

Step 7

Cook the mixture for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

Step 8

Taste and adjust seasoning if necessary, adding more salt and pepper to suit your preferences.

Step 9

Once done, transfer the sautéed cabbage and onions to a serving dish. Garnish with fresh parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish to accompany your favorite main course.
