Ingredients
- 1 medium head cabbage
- 2 tablespoons coconut oil
- 3 medium garlic cloves
- 1 small red onion
- 0.5 teaspoon sea salt
- 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- 2 whole green onions
Directions
Step 1
Begin by preparing your ingredients. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage if they're tough or wilted. Cut the cabbage into quarters, remove the core, and then thinly slice the quarters into shreds.
Step 2
Peel and mince the garlic cloves. Slice the red onion into thin strips. Chop the green onions into approximately 1-inch pieces and set aside for garnish.
Step 3
Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the coconut oil and allow it to melt and heat up.
Step 4
Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sliced red onion to the skillet. Stir-fry for about 2 minutes until the garlic is fragrant and the onions become slightly translucent.
Step 5
Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to combine with the garlic and onion, coating the cabbage with the coconut oil.
Step 6
Season the cabbage with sea salt and black pepper. Stir-fry for about 8-10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is tender but still retains some crunch.
Step 7
Drizzle the apple cider vinegar over the cabbage and stir to combine, cooking for an additional 1-2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
Step 8
Remove the skillet from heat and transfer the stir-fried cabbage to a serving dish. Garnish with the chopped green onions.
Step 9
Serve immediately as a side dish to your favorite Paleo main course.
