Main Ingredients
  • 2 heads green cabbage cored and thinly sliced
  • 4 tbsp olive oil
  • 2 medium onions thinly sliced
  • 8 cloves garlic minced
  • 2 tsp salt
  • 1 tsp black pepper
  • 2 tsp caraway seeds optional
  • 4 tbsp apple cider vinegar
  • 1/4 cup fresh parsley chopped for garnish

Equipment

  • Large heavy-bottomed skillet
  • Tongs

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Remove wilted outer leaves, core the cabbage, and slice into thin 1/4 inch ribbons.
  2. Heat olive oil in a large heavy-bottomed skillet over medium-high heat until shimmering.
  3. Add sliced onions to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes until translucent and softened.
  4. Stir in minced garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  5. Add the sliced cabbage to the pan, toss with onions and garlic, and season with salt and pepper.
  6. Sauté the cabbage frequently for 8-10 minutes until wilted and tender-crisp.
  7. Add caraway seeds if using, then pour in the apple cider vinegar to deglaze the pan.
  8. Continue cooking for 2-3 minutes to allow cabbage to develop golden-brown edges.
  9. Taste and adjust seasoning, then transfer to a bowl and garnish with fresh parsley to serve.
