Ingredients
  

Ingredients
  • 1 medium head cabbage (green)
  • 2 Tbsp butter (or oil)
  • 1 clove garlic (crushed)
  • ½ tsp salt (to taste)
  • ¼ tsp black pepper (to taste)

Equipment

  • Large skillet
  • Sharp knife or mandoline slicer

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Shred the cabbage. Cut the cabbage into ¼-½” slices, aiming for about 7-8 cups of evenly shredded cabbage. Use a sharp knife or mandoline slicer for best results.
  2. Heat a large skillet over medium heat, then add butter (or oil) and crushed garlic. Cook for 1 minute.
  3. Add half of the cabbage to the skillet. Stir for 1-2 minutes, until slightly wilted.
  4. Add the remaining cabbage, salt, and pepper. Cook for 12-15 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes to prevent burning. Let the cabbage sit untouched occasionally to allow caramelization.
  5. Plate hot and serve immediately for a buttery, caramelized vegetable dish.
