Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 4 tablespoons Unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoons Black pepper
• 2 cloves Garlic (optional)
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Remove any loose or damaged outer leaves from the cabbage. Slice the cabbage in half and remove the core, then finely shred or chop the leaves into bite-sized pieces.

Step 2

If using garlic, mince the cloves and set aside.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat and add the 4 tablespoons of unsalted butter.

Step 4

Once the butter has melted and begins to foam, add the cabbage to the pan. Toss to coat the cabbage evenly with the butter.

Step 5

Sprinkle the salt and black pepper over the cabbage. If using garlic, stir it in at this stage.

Step 6

Cook the cabbage for 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender and slightly golden around the edges. Adjust the heat as needed to prevent burning.

Step 7

Taste the cabbage and adjust seasoning, adding more salt or pepper if desired.

Step 8

Optionally, garnish the cabbage with chopped fresh parsley before serving for a fresh, bright finish.

Step 9

Serve warm as a side dish with your favorite main course.
