- Total Time40 minutes
- Yield8 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 2 Tbsp. Olive oil
- 1 Tbsp real butter
- 1 medium onion - pared and sliced
- 1 Tbsp. Garlic - minced
- 1 medium to large head of cabbage - chopped into 1/2 inch strips
- 1 Tsp. Sea salt
- 1/4 Tsp. black pepper
- 1/2 Tsp. red pepper flakes
Instructions
- In a large skillet or pot warm olive oil and butter on medium heat.
- Add onion and garlic – sauté until they become soft and slightly lucid.
- Now add half of the cabbage, salt, pepper, and red pepper flakes, and stir.
- Add remaining cabbage stir, cover, reduce heat to low and simmer for 20 to 25 minutes.
- Cook until tender but not so much that it becomes easily mashed. The fork should penetrate large cabbage veins easy.
- I like to caramelize the dish a bit by cooking with a lid for half the cooking time then stick around and watch and stir a couple of times until the edges of the cabbage turn a little brown. The flavor will be sweet and savory.
Notes
Add crisp fried bacon after carmelizing the onions for even more flavor.
