This Simple Sautéed Cabbage recipe delivers a quick and flavorful vegetable side dish featuring tender green cabbage and onions cooked in butter and olive oil, seasoned with smoked paprika and garlic for a delightful smoky aroma and subtle spice. Perfect for a healthy and savory addition to any meal.

Ingredients

Vegetables

  • 1 medium head green cabbage, cored and sliced into thin strips
  • 1 medium onion, chopped
  • 2 cloves garlic, minced

Cooking Fats

  • 2 tablespoons butter
  • 1 teaspoon olive oil

Seasonings

  • 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
  • Salt and pepper to taste

Instructions

  1. Prepare the vegetables: Core the cabbage and slice it into thin strips. Chop the onion and mince the garlic cloves, setting all aside for cooking.
  2. Heat the fats: In a large skillet or sauté pan, warm the butter and olive oil over medium heat until melted and fragrant, creating a flavorful base for the vegetables.
  3. Sauté the onions and garlic: Add the chopped onion and minced garlic to the pan, cooking for about 3-4 minutes until the onions become translucent and the garlic is aromatic but not burnt.
  4. Add the cabbage: Toss in the sliced cabbage strips, stirring well to coat them evenly in the butter and oil mixture. Continue sautéing, stirring regularly for about 8-10 minutes, until the cabbage softens but still retains some texture.
  5. Season the dish: Sprinkle the smoked paprika over the vegetables and season with salt and pepper to taste. Stir well to combine and cook for an additional 2 minutes to allow the flavors to meld.
  6. Finish and serve: Remove the pan from heat once the cabbage is tender and flavorful. Serve the sautéed cabbage warm as a savory side dish with your favorite main course.

Notes

  • For a vegan version, substitute butter with additional olive oil or a plant-based margarine.
  • Adjust the smoked paprika quantity according to desired smokiness and spice level.
  • Adding a splash of apple cider vinegar or lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors.
  • Leftovers can be refrigerated and reheated gently on the stovetop or in the microwave.
