Ingredients

• 1 head green cabbage
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 2 pieces garlic cloves
• 0.5 teaspoon salt
• 0.25 teaspoon black pepper
• 1 teaspoon olive oil
• 0.25 cup water
• 2 tablespoons fresh parsley (optional, chopped)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage if they are wilted or damaged. Cut the cabbage in half lengthwise, then into quarters, and remove the core of each quarter.

Step 2

Slice the cabbage quarters into thin strips, about 1/4-inch thick, and rinse them under cold water. Set aside to drain.

Step 3

Mince the garlic cloves finely and set them aside.

Step 4

Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat. Add the olive oil and butter, allowing the butter to melt completely.

Step 5

Once the butter is melted, add the minced garlic to the skillet and sauté for 30 seconds until aromatic, stirring constantly to prevent burning.

Step 6

Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet and toss to coat evenly with the butter and garlic mixture.

Step 7

Pour the water into the skillet and cover with a lid. Allow the cabbage to steam for about 5–7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender but still slightly crisp.

Step 8

Season the steamed cabbage with salt and black pepper to your taste.

Step 9

Remove the skillet from the heat and garnish with chopped parsley if desired.

Step 10

Serve warm as a side dish or enjoy it on its own!
