Ingredients
- 1 medium head of cabbage, chopped (about 6 cups)
- 3 tablespoons butter
- 1 teaspoon salt, or to taste
- 1/2 teaspoon black pepper, or to taste
Instructions
- Prepare the cabbage: Rinse the cabbage thoroughly under cold water, then chop it into bite-sized pieces, setting aside about 6 cups.
- Heat the butter: In a large skillet over medium heat, melt 3 tablespoons of butter until it foams.
- Sauté the cabbage: Add the chopped cabbage to the skillet, stirring well to coat it evenly with butter. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-12 minutes or until the cabbage is tender and slightly browned.
- Season: Sprinkle 1 teaspoon of salt and 1/2 teaspoon of black pepper over the cabbage, adjusting to taste. Stir to combine and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes.
- Serve warm: Remove from heat and serve the fried cabbage warm as a side dish.
Notes
- For extra flavor, add diced onions or garlic when sautéing the cabbage.
- You can substitute butter with olive oil for a different taste or to reduce saturated fat.
- Adjust seasoning according to preference; a pinch of red pepper flakes adds a nice heat.
- Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days.
