Ingredients

  • 1 medium cabbage
  • 4 Tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 Tablespoon fresh garlic, minced
  • 1/2 teaspoon salt
  • 1/4 teaspoon black pepper

Instructions:

  1. Trim the cabbage, then shred it. To shred, cut the cabbage in half, then slice each half into thin slices and separate the slices with your hands into strips.
  2. Place the cabbage strips in a colander and rinse them.
  3. Transfer the rinsed cabbage to a large, deep skillet without drying it off. The water adhering to the cabbage will allow it to steam.
  4. Turn the heat to medium-high and cover the skillet.
  5. When the cabbage starts to steam, which should take about a minute, lower the heat to medium.
  6. Steam the cabbage, covered, for about 5 minutes. Uncover, stir, and cook it for 2 more minutes to allow any remaining water to evaporate. If there is still too much water in the pan, drain the cabbage into a colander and return it to the skillet.
  7. Add the butter, garlic, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine.
  8. Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring, until the butter has melted.
