Sautéed Cabbage

Ingredients

  • 1 small head green cabbage (about 2 1/2 pounds)
  • 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
  • 1 1/2 teaspoons kosher salt
  • 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
  • 1/2 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
  • 1 tablespoon chopped fresh thyme (optional)

Instructions:

  1. Cut the cabbage in half from its top down through its core. Place the cut-side down on a cutting board, then slice it as thinly as possible around the core to make fine ribbons. Discard the core.
  2. Heat a large sauté pan or similar heavy-bottomed pot over medium-high heat. Add olive oil and butter. Once the butter is melted, add the cabbage, salt, and pepper. Sauté for 10 to 15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and begins to brown. Don’t feel like you need to constantly stir it. Leaving cabbage undisturbed for a minute or two as you go is what will allow it to develop brown caramelized bits, and that’s where the FLAVOR is!
  3. Remove from the heat and stir in the apple cider vinegar. Taste and add a bit of additional salt and pepper as needed, or a splash more vinegar to add more zippy and acidic flavors. Sprinkle with thyme. Serve warm.

To Store: Store sautéed cabbage in an airtight container and place in the refrigerator for up to one week.

To Reheat: Place sautéed cabbage in a microwave-safe bowl or on a plate and reheat gently until warm. You can perk your leftovers up by adding another sprinkle of salt and a splash of apple cider vinegar after reheating.

To Freeze: Sautéed cabbage can be frozen if placed in a freezer-safe container. The texture of the cabbage may change slightly while frozen, but will still taste delicious when thawed.
