Ingredients
- 1 medium head Green cabbage
- 2 tablespoons Coconut oil
- 1 medium Onion
- 3 large Garlic cloves
- 1 teaspoon Salt
- 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
- 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
- 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley
Directions
Step 1
Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage and quarter the cabbage to make it easier to handle.
Step 2
Cut out the core from each quarter and then chop the cabbage into roughly 1-2 inch pieces.
Step 3
Using a food processor, pulse the cabbage pieces in batches until they resemble the size and texture of rice grains. Be careful not to over-process.
Step 4
Dice the onion and finely mince the garlic cloves.
Step 5
In a large skillet, heat the coconut oil over medium heat.
Step 6
Add the diced onion and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent.
Step 7
Add the minced garlic and cook for another 1-2 minutes until fragrant, stirring frequently to avoid burning.
Step 8
Increase the heat to medium-high and add the processed cabbage 'rice' to the skillet.
Step 9
Stir well to combine with the onion and garlic, and cook for about 7-10 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender but retains some crunch.
Step 10
Season with salt and black pepper, adjusting to taste.
Step 11
Add the lemon juice for a fresh, zesty finish and stir in the chopped fresh parsley.
Step 12
Remove from heat and serve immediately as a side dish or light main course.
