This sautéed cabbage recipe is an incredibly flavorful side dish that's easy to make with a handful of everyday ingredients. It's golden, buttery, and irresistible!
1mediumhead green cabbagecored & sliced into thin strips
1medium onionchopped
2tablespoonsbutter
1teaspoonolive oil
2clovesgarlicminced
1teaspoonsmoked paprika
Salt & pepperto taste
Instructions
Prep the cabbage and chop your onion. I just slice the cabbage thin (cut out the core) and chop the onion like usual.
Add the butter and oil to a skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the onion for 3 minutes.
Add the cabbage to the pan and toss/stir it as best as you can (use 2 spoons or tongs to make it easier). Don't worry, as it cooks the cabbage goes down and it becomes more manageable. Stir/toss it often and let it cook until it's just about as soft as you want it (about 10-15 minutes).
Add in the paprika and garlic. Cook it for a couple more minutes. If the cabbage starts to brown too quickly, turn the heat down. Some browning is good - it adds extra flavor.
Season with salt & pepper as needed and serve immediately.
Notes
Serves 4-6 as a side dish.
I use a ~2 lb. cabbage.
I typically cook with sea salt, but I love to swap seasoning salt or Tony's here sometimes.
