Cabbage. 1 small head weighs about 2½ pounds and will make enough for four to six people.
Olive Oil and butter. One tablespoon of each. To make it dairy-free, use only olive oil.
Kosher salt and black pepper to taste.
Apple Cider Vinegar. Just ½ tablespoon
.
Start to finish, this Sautéed Cabbage takes 15 minutes.
Preparing the cabbage for frying;
Cut it in half from its top down through its core. Place the cut-side down on your cutting board, then slice it as thinly as possible around the core so that you have fine ribbons. Discard the core.
Add the butter and olive oil to a large, deep sauté pan.
When butter melted, add cabbage. The cabbage will take up a lot of room, but it will cook down quickly.
To saute, stir the cabbage every now and then. You want the cabbage to turn golden brown and get a little caramelized and crispy. That magic happens while the cabbage is sitting undisturbed.
As soon as the cabbage is tender and browned, it’s ready to serve!
