Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 3 tablespoons Butter
• 1 tablespoon Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Yellow mustard
• 1 tablespoon Dijon mustard
• 1 teaspoon Honey
• 2 teaspoons Apple cider vinegar
• 2 cloves (minced) Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 1 cup Water
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and discard. Cut the cabbage in half and then into quarters. Remove the core and slice the cabbage into thin shreds.

Step 2

Heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.

Step 3

Add the minced garlic to the pan and sauté for 1 minute until fragrant.

Step 4

Add the shredded cabbage to the pan and toss to coat in the butter and olive oil. Cook for 5 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage begins to soften.

Step 5

Pour 1 cup of water into the pan, cover, and let the cabbage steam for 10 minutes. Stir occasionally to prevent sticking.

Step 6

While the cabbage is cooking, prepare the mustard sauce. In a small bowl, whisk together the yellow mustard, Dijon mustard, honey, apple cider vinegar, 1 tablespoon of melted butter, salt, and black pepper until smooth.

Step 7

Once the cabbage has softened and most of the water has evaporated, pour the mustard sauce over the cabbage. Toss well to ensure the cabbage is evenly coated.

Step 8

Cook for another 5 minutes on low heat, allowing the flavors to meld and the sauce to slightly thicken.

Step 9

Remove from heat. Garnish with freshly chopped parsley before serving.

Step 10

Serve warm as a flavorful side dish alongside roasted meats, grilled fish, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
