Description
This easy and healthy sautéed cabbage recipe features tender, caramelized cabbage cooked with onions and garlic in ghee for a flavorful, nutritious side dish perfect for any meal.
Ingredients
Vegetables
- 1 small green cabbage
- 1 small yellow onion
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
Fats & Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons ghee (or a blend of butter and olive oil)
- Kosher salt, to taste
- Ground black pepper, to taste
Instructions
- Slice the cabbage and onion: Cut the cabbage in half, then quarters. Remove the core from each piece and chop across into thin slices. Slice the onion in half and then across into thin slices.
- Cook the onions: Melt the ghee in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onions for about one minute or until they just start to soften. Add the minced garlic and stir to combine.
- Cook the cabbage: Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet. Sauté for 12 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage becomes soft and caramelized.
- Season and serve: Before serving, season with kosher salt and ground black pepper to taste. Toss thoroughly to combine all flavors and serve warm.
Notes
- Use ghee for a rich, buttery flavor, or substitute with a blend of butter and olive oil if preferred.
- Cooking the cabbage slowly over medium-high heat allows it to caramelize and develop deeper flavors.
- Adjust seasoning to your taste preference, adding more salt or pepper as desired.
- This dish pairs well with grilled meats, rice, or can be enjoyed on its own as a light vegetable side.
