Instructions
- Shred the Cabbage: Cut entire head of cabbage into ¼-½” slices.* You should end up with roughly 7-8 cups of shredded cabbage. (Read recipe notes below to learn how to shred cabbage.)
- Sauté the first Half: Place a large skillet over medium heat and add butter and crushed garlic. Sauté for 1 minute. Add in roughly half of the sliced cabbage and cook for a minute or two until it starts to wilt and shrink down some.
- Add the Rest: Add in the remaining half of the cabbage along with the salt and pepper. Continue cooking for 12-15 minutes, stirring every 2-3 minutes. (Let it sit for a few minutes without stirring if you’d like it to caramelize.)
- Serve immediately and enjoy!
Notes
- Prep-Ahead Instructions:
- Thinly slice cabbage and store in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
- Storage Directions:
- Put in an airtight container. Place cabbage in the refrigerator for up to 3-4 days. You can freeze leftovers for up to 3-4 months. Thaw and eat as a side dish or add it to soups and stews. Add leftovers to a large skillet over medium heat and cook for 2-3 minutes, or until heated through.
- Recipe Tips:
- Similar sized. Cut the cabbage into slices that are the same thickness so it all cooks up at the same rate.
- Do it twice. Add the cabbage into the skillet in two batches so it will all fit easily.
- Let it sit. Letting the cabbage cook in the skillet without stirring for a few minutes gives it time to contact the hot skillet and caramelize.
- Bigger is better. Use a larger skillet or saucepan so the most cabbage makes contact with the heat and can caramelize.
- Keep it fresh. Opt for whole garlic cloves when possible. In a pinch, garlic powder will work.
