A simple and flavorful sautéed red cabbage recipe that is quick to prepare and makes a perfect side dish. Tender strips of red cabbage are cooked with olive oil and seasoned with salt, black pepper, and garlic powder, resulting in a savory and slightly sweet vegetable dish.

Ingredients

Scale

Vegetables

  • 1 head red cabbage (washed and outer leaves removed)

Oils and Seasonings

  • 2 tbsp olive oil (or avocado oil or any vegetable oil)
  • 1 tsp salt
  • 1/2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp garlic powder

Instructions

  1. Slice the cabbage: Slice the red cabbage into thin strips to ensure even cooking and tenderness.
  2. Heat the pan: Place a frying pan over high heat and add the olive oil, allowing it to heat up before adding the cabbage.
  3. Add cabbage to pan: Add the sliced cabbage to the hot pan and immediately reduce the heat to medium-high to prevent burning.
  4. Cover and sauté: Cover the pan with a lid to help the cabbage cook more evenly and faster. Stir every minute or two to prevent burning and to ensure uniform cooking.
  5. Cook until tender: Continue cooking for about 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage has softened and become tender.
  6. Season the cabbage: Sprinkle the salt, black pepper, and garlic powder evenly over the cabbage and mix well to combine the flavors.
  7. Sauté briefly: Cook the seasoned cabbage for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld and deepen.
  8. Serve: Turn off the heat and serve the sautéed red cabbage immediately for the best flavor and texture.

Notes

  • Use a large pan to allow the cabbage to cook evenly without overcrowding.
  • Adjust seasoning to taste, adding more salt or spices if preferred.
  • For extra flavor, consider adding a splash of apple cider vinegar or a pinch of red pepper flakes during the last few minutes of cooking.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted meats, grilled chicken, or as part of a vegetarian meal.
