Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 3 tablespoons Olive oil
• 2 tablespoons Butter
• 2 Garlic cloves (finely minced)
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper (freshly ground)
• 0.25 teaspoon Red pepper flakes (optional, for heat)
• 1 tablespoon Lemon juice
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (chopped, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Remove any tough or wilted outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage in half and cut out the core. Slice the cabbage into thin ribbons or shreds, about 1/4 inch thick.

Step 2

In a large skillet or wok, heat the olive oil and butter over medium-high heat until the butter is melted and begins to foam.

Step 3

Add the shredded cabbage to the pan in an even layer. Let it cook undisturbed for 4-5 minutes to allow it to caramelize on one side.

Step 4

Using tongs, toss the cabbage to expose uncooked parts to the heat. Cook for another 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is softened and parts are deeply golden and crisp.

Step 5

Reduce the heat to medium and add the minced garlic, salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes (if using). Stir well and cook for an additional 2 minutes, allowing the garlic to become fragrant.

Step 6

Turn off the heat and drizzle the cabbage with fresh lemon juice. Toss to combine.

Step 7

Transfer the frizzled cabbage to a serving dish and garnish with fresh chopped parsley. Serve immediately while warm and crisp.
