- Prep Time: 10 min
- Cook Time: 5 min
- Total Time: 15 minutes
Yield: 6 1x
Ingredients
Scale
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 5 cloves garlic, chopped
- Half a head of cabbage, thinly sliced
- Kosher salt and Freshly ground pepper, to taste
Instructions
- In a large pan, heat olive oil on medium high heat until hot. Add garlic and stir 1 minute, until fragrant.
- Add sliced cabbage and stir frequently for even cooking and to prevent garlic from burning. Stir until cabbage is softened and edges are lightly browned, about 4-5 minutes depending on desired level of tenderness.
- When cabbage is just about done, add kosher salt and freshly ground pepper to taste. Serve hot.
Notes
Save the unused half of cabbage for later use: wrap it tightly in plastic wrap and place it in the fridge (it should keep fresh for 1-2 weeks if stored correctly.)
Non-vegan option: add cooked, crumbed bacon towards the end of sauté time. You can also use some of the bacon grease for cooking if you’d like.
