Ingredients

• 1 head (medium, about 2 lbs) green cabbage
• 8 oz cremini or button mushrooms
• 3 tbsp olive oil
• 1 tbsp unsalted butter
• 1 (medium, finely chopped) yellow onion
• 2 cloves (minced) garlic
• 1 tsp salt
• 0.5 tsp black pepper
• 0.5 tsp paprika (optional)
• 2 tbsp (chopped, for garnish) fresh parsley

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, then cut it into quarters and remove the core. Slice the cabbage into thin shreds.

Step 2

Clean the mushrooms with a damp paper towel to remove any dirt, then slice them thinly.

Step 3

Heat 2 tablespoons of olive oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the mushrooms and cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until they release their liquid and begin to brown. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

Step 4

In the same skillet, add the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil and the butter. Once the butter has melted, add the chopped onion and sauté for 2-3 minutes until softened.

Step 5

Add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Sprinkle with salt, black pepper, and paprika (if using). Toss to combine.

Step 7

Cook the cabbage over medium heat for 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it softens and begins to caramelize around the edges.

Step 8

Return the cooked mushrooms to the skillet and stir to combine. Cook for an additional 2-3 minutes to heat through.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from heat and taste for seasoning. Adjust with more salt and pepper if needed.

Step 10

Transfer the cabbage and mushrooms to a serving dish and garnish with chopped fresh parsley. Serve warm.
