Sauteed Cabbage Recipe

This recipe is a simple and delicious way to cook cabbage, resulting in tender, slightly sweet leaves with a hint of caramelization.

Ingredients:

• 1 small head green cabbage (about 2 1/2 pounds)

• 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil

• 1/2 teaspoon salt

• 1/4 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper

• 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

• 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the cabbage: Remove any tough outer leaves. Cut the cabbage in half from the top down through its core. Then, cut each half into quarters and thinly slice them, discarding the core.

2. Sauté the cabbage: Heat a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the olive oil and butter. Once the butter is melted, add the cabbage, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and begins to brown. Don't stir too often; letting the cabbage sit undisturbed allows it to caramelize.

3. Finish and serve: Remove the pan from the heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar. Taste and adjust the seasoning if needed. Sprinkle with thyme (if using) and serve warm.
