Scale
Main Ingredients
- 1 medium head green cabbage cored and sliced into thin strips (about 2 pounds)
- 1 medium onion chopped
- 2 cloves garlic minced
Cooking Fats and Seasonings
- 2 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon olive oil
- 1 teaspoon smoked paprika
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Prep the Vegetables: Slice the cabbage thinly after removing the core and chop the onion into small pieces to prepare for sautéing.
- Heat the Fats: Add the butter and olive oil to a skillet over medium-high heat until melted and hot to provide a flavorful base for cooking.
- Sauté the Onion: Add the chopped onion to the skillet and cook for about 3 minutes until it becomes translucent and fragrant.
- Add and Cook the Cabbage: Add the sliced cabbage to the pan and stir or toss frequently using tongs or spoons. Continue cooking for about 10 to 15 minutes until the cabbage softens and reduces in volume.
- Season with Garlic and Paprika: Stir in the minced garlic and smoked paprika, cooking for an additional 2 minutes. Adjust the heat if the cabbage is browning too fast to ensure even cooking and flavor development.
- Final Seasoning and Serve: Season the sautéed cabbage with salt and pepper to taste, then serve immediately as a warm, flavorful side dish.

- Use a cabbage weighing around 2 pounds for best results.
- Sea salt is recommended, but you can substitute with seasoning salt or Tony’s seasoning for variation.
- Adjust cooking time to achieve preferred cabbage tenderness and browning.
