Easy and healthy cabbage recipe
The idea here is to take finely shredded cabbage and saute it to the point of caramelization, sort of like what you do to an onion.
While you can add in spices and flavoring vegetables, such as onion and garlic, I think the simple sauteing of cabbage in fat is most satisfying. All I need is a good dash of sea salt!
Sauteed cabbage is so flavorful. Cooking the cabbage this way results in crispy, tender caramelized cabbage just right for any meal.

- 1 medium head green cabbage sliced into 3/4" thick slices
- 2 Tablespoons butter cut into 2 pieces

- Add another 1/3 of the cabbage and 1 tablespoon butter. Flip cabbage again after a couple minutes.
- Finish with remaining cabbage and last tablespoon of butter. Once cabbage is browned to your liking, add more salt to taste and pepper, if desired. Remove from heat, season with red pepper flakes, if desired. Serve.
