This sautéed cabbage recipe is an easy, delicious vegetable side dish! The cabbage becomes amazingly tender and caramelized as it cooks. I season it with apple cider vinegar and garlic for sweet and savory depth of flavor.

Sautéed Cabbage

Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp Olive Oil
  • 2 Garlic Cloves
  • 1 Green Cabbage
  • 1 tsp Salt
  • Freshly Ground Black Pepper
  • 1 tbsp Apple Cider Vinegar

Instructions

  1. 1

    Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the garlic and cook, stirring, for 30 seconds, or until fragrant but not browned.

  2. 2

    Add the cabbage, salt, and several grinds of pepper, toss, and cook for 2 minutes, or until the cabbage starts to soften.

  3. 3

    Add the vinegar, toss, and cook, stirring or tossing occasionally, until most of the liquid cooks off and the cabbage is tender and browned, about 6 minutes. Season to taste and serve.

Ago's Notes

  • Adjust salt to taste based on your canned goods.

Let the cabbage's natural sweetness mingle with the garlic's warmth and vinegar's brightness-this dish is a quiet celebration of balance, crafted with care and served best with a loaf of crusty bread to soak up the last drops of its vibrant essence.
