Ingredients

• 1 head (medium size, about 2 lbs) green cabbage
• 3 tablespoons olive oil
• 2 tablespoons butter
• 1 teaspoon kosher salt
• 0.5 teaspoon black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
• 2 teaspoons lemon juice

Directions

Step 1

Remove any damaged outer leaves from the cabbage and cut it in half through the core. Cut out the tough white core from each half, then slice the cabbage into thin ribbons, roughly 1/4-inch thick.

Step 2

Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter, letting the butter melt and foam lightly without browning.

Step 3

Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet in a single layer, stirring to coat the cabbage evenly in the oil-butter mixture.

Step 4

Sprinkle the cabbage with kosher salt, black pepper, and (if desired) red pepper flakes for a bit of heat.

Step 5

Cook the cabbage for 20-25 minutes, stirring occasionally to allow the edges to brown and crisp while the inner pieces soften. Adjust the heat to medium if it begins to brown too quickly.

Step 6

In the last 2-3 minutes of cooking, add the lemon juice, stirring well to brighten the flavors.

Step 7

Taste and adjust seasoning with additional salt or pepper, if needed.

Step 8

Serve immediately while hot and enjoy as a delicious, crispy accompaniment to your meal.
