Ingredients

• 1 medium head Green cabbage
• 3 medium Carrots
• 2 tablespoons Olive oil
• 3 cloves Garlic
• 1 teaspoon Salt
• 0.5 teaspoon Black pepper
• 0.5 teaspoon Paprika
• 2 tablespoons Fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Wash the cabbage and carrots thoroughly under cold running water.

Step 2

Slice the cabbage into thin shreds, discarding the core. Peel the carrots and slice them into thin matchsticks or use a julienne peeler for convenience.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves and finely chop the fresh parsley, then set aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium heat and add the olive oil.

Step 5

Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic and sauté for 30 seconds to 1 minute, stirring frequently, until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the shredded cabbage and carrots to the skillet. Toss to coat them evenly in the garlic and olive oil.

Step 7

Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and paprika over the vegetables. Stir well to combine.

Step 8

Reduce the heat to medium-low and sauté the vegetables for about 10–12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and the carrots are cooked through but still slightly crisp.

Step 9

Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed.

Step 10

Remove the skillet from the heat and sprinkle the chopped parsley over the cooked cabbage and carrots.

Step 11

Serve warm as a side dish, or enjoy on its own for a light and healthy meal.
