Ingredients

• 450 grams green beans
• 500 grams green cabbage
• 3 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 large yellow onion
• 3 cloves garlic cloves
• 2 tablespoons fresh dill
• 1 teaspoon salt
• 0.5 teaspoon ground black pepper
• 0.25 teaspoon red chili flakes (optional)
• 120 milliliters water or vegetable broth

Directions

Step 1

Trim the ends off the green beans and cut them in half if they are too long. Rinse and drain thoroughly.

Step 2

Remove any wilted outer leaves from the cabbage, cut it into quarters, and core it. Shred the cabbage into thin slices using a sharp knife or a mandoline slicer.

Step 3

Peel and finely dice the onion. Mince the garlic cloves.

Step 4

In a large skillet or sauté pan, heat the olive oil and butter over medium heat until the butter has melted and starts to foam.

Step 5

Add the diced onion to the pan and sauté for 3-4 minutes until it becomes translucent and slightly golden.

Step 6

Add the minced garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 7

Increase the heat to medium-high and add the shredded cabbage. Sauté for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften and develop a light caramelized color.

Step 8

Add the green beans to the pan and stir well to combine with the cabbage and onions.

Step 9

Pour in the water or vegetable broth, then sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Reduce the heat to medium, cover the pan, and let the vegetables steam for about 8-10 minutes, or until the green beans are tender-crisp.

Step 10

Remove the lid and increase the heat to medium-high. Cook for an additional 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until any excess liquid has evaporated.

Step 11

Remove the pan from heat and stir in the chopped fresh dill for a burst of herbal flavor.

Step 12

Adjust the seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed. Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy it as a light vegetarian main course.
