Ingredients
  

Main Ingredients
  • 1 head Cabbage The star of the dish, providing bulk and nutrition.
  • 1 medium Onion Adds sweetness and depth of flavor.
  • 2 cloves Garlic Imparts an aromatic essence.
  • 2 tablespoons Butter or oil Used for sautéing and richness.
  • 1 teaspoon Salt Enhances all the flavors.
  • 1/2 teaspoon Pepper Adds a touch of heat.
Optional Ingredients
  • 1 teaspoon Paprika For additional flavor.

Method
 

Preparation
  1. Slice the cabbage into thin strips and chop the onion and garlic.
Cooking
  1. In a large skillet, melt butter or heat oil over medium heat.
  2. Add the chopped onion and garlic; sauté until the onion becomes translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
  3. Stir in the cabbage and sprinkle with salt and pepper. Cook, stirring occasionally, for about 10-15 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender and caramelized.
  4. If using, add your chosen spices during the last few minutes of cooking for extra flavor.
  5. Serve warm and enjoy!

Notes

For extra flavor, try adding bacon or sausage for a meaty twist. To make it gluten-free, ensure you use gluten-free options for oil and seasonings. Cooking with a cast-iron skillet can add a delightful crispy texture.
