Description
My mouthwatering Sautéed Cabbage recipe is easy to make and only requires a few ingredients. This caramelized cabbage is packed full of flavor and goes great along side your favorite meat(free) and potatoes dish, or as a side on St. Patrick’s Day. This might not be the most glamours looking side dish, but it’s always a hit!
Ingredients
Scale
- 1 medium head green cabbage, (mine was 2 lbs and I didn’t end up using all of it because it was so much, so I would recommend about 1.5 lbs)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 1 tablespooon butter
- 2–4 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon tamari, or soy sauce
- Salt and black pepper, to taste
- 1 tablespoon chopped fresh parsley
- 1/2 teaspoon chopped fresh thyme (optional)
Instructions
- Remove a few of the outer leaves of cabbage, if needed, and then use a sharp knife to cut the head of cabbage in half, vertically. Remove the core, using a knife, on the bottom of each half and slice the rest of the cabbage into thin ribbons. You can use a knife, mandolin or food processor for this, if needed. I find it easier to cut the cabbage into smaller chunks and then thinly slice it.
- Heat an extra large pan over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Once butter is melted, add in the minced garlic and cook until garlic is fragrant and starting to become golden, about 30 seconds.
- Add in the sliced cabbage, tamari, 1/4 tsp salt and 1/4 tsp black pepper. Give everything a good mix, until cabbage is completely coated with oil and seasonings.
- Cook cabbage until it’s softened and starting to caramelize, about 10-15 minutes. It works best if you let the cabbage cook for a few minutes without disturbing it, before stirring. This allows it to caramelize nicely, which is where most of the flavor comes from.
- Turn the heat off and stir in the fresh herbs and any extra salt and pepper needed. Cabbage is best when served hot.
