Sautéed Cabbage (Easy & Healthy)
Description
This Sautéed Cabbage dish begins with thinly sliced green cabbage and yellow onion cooked together in melted ghee over medium-high heat. Minced garlic is added shortly after the onions start softening, infusing the dish with aroma and depth. The cabbage is stirred occasionally and cooked for 12 to 15 minutes until tender and showing signs of caramelization on the edges, which adds a gentle sweetness and complexity. Salt and freshly ground black pepper are added near the end to season the vegetable lightly, letting the natural flavors shine through.
The finished sautéed cabbage retains a balance of softness and slight chew, with the onions contributing mild savory notes and the ghee enriching the flavor. This simple vegetable preparation is adaptable as a side dish or an addition to bowls, suitable for everyday meals that need a straightforward vegetable with subtle richness.
For preparing larger quantities or freezer storage, letting the cabbage cool completely before placing it in an airtight container is advised. It can be refrigerated for 3 to 4 days or frozen for up to 3 months, though freezing may soften the texture upon reheating. Using tongs to stir the cabbage helps manage volume in the pan due to its bulk before wilting, and sautéing in batches can help if the pan is small.
Ingredients
- 1 small green cabbage
- 1 small yellow onion
- 2 garlic minced, cloves
- 2 tablespoon ghee or a blend of butter and olive oil
- salt to taste, Kosher salt
- black pepper to taste, Kosher salt
Instructions
- Slice the cabbage. Cut the cabbage in half, then into quarters. Remove the core from each piece and chop across into thin slices. Slice the onion in half and across into into thin slices.
- Cook the onions. Melt the ghee in a large skillet over medium high heat. Sauté the onions for a minute or until just starting to soften. Then add in the minced garlic and stir again.
- Cook the cabbage. Add the cabbage and saute for about 12 to 15 minutes. During this time, stir the cabbage occasionally until the cabbage becomes soft and caramelized.
- Serve. Before serving, season with salt and pepper and toss to combine.
Notes
- Cool cooked cabbage completely before storing in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 to 4 days.
- Freezing is possible for up to 3 months, but reheated cabbage may be softer in texture.
- Use tongs to stir cabbage as it cooks due to the volume in the pan.
- If the pan is small, consider sautéing cabbage in batches to ensure even cooking.
