Hello everyone! Guess what? I’ve got another cabbage recipe for you—yes, that makes three now! There’s the best cabbage casserole recipe, the simple and easy Asian inspired slaw, and now, drumroll please…a simple and easy, yet irresistible sautéed cabbage recipe.
I know, I know, you might be thinking, “Really? Another cabbage recipe?” But trust me, this one’s a winner. Whether you’re a cabbage enthusiast like me or you’re still on the fence about this leafy veggie, I promise this recipe won’t disappoint.
So, without further ado, let’s dive into today’s recipe. It’s all about simplicity—a quick and easy way to elevate your veggie game without any fuss. Here’s what you’ll need:
Ingredients:
Just so you know, here I used some cabbage I had sliced and frozen, but you can use fresh as well. The recipe is exactly the same either way.
- 1 lb Green Cabbage (small head of cabbage)
- 1 small onion, thinly sliced
- 3 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 tablespoon butter
- Salt and pepper to taste
Instructions
- Remove and discard the outer leaves of the cabbage. Cut the cabbage in half and remove the core. Proceed to chop the cabbage into thin slices ( you can use a knife, a mandolin or even a food processor if you prefer)
- Thinly slice the onion into thin slices.
- In a large nonstick skillet, heat olive oil and melt butter over medium heat. Add the sliced onions and sauté until they start to soften. Then, add the minced garlic and sauté for an additional minute, stirring constantly.
4. Now, add the chopped cabbage to the skillet. Sauté the cabbage for about 12-15 minutes, stirring occasionally to prevent burning. The cabbage should become caramelized and tender during this time.
5. As the cabbage cooks, adjust the salt and pepper according to your taste preferences.
6. Once the cabbage is caramelized to your liking, it’s ready to serve!
Storage Instructions:
If you happen to have leftovers, you can store the sautéed cabbage in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Simply reheat it in a skillet over medium heat, or microwave until warmed through.

Notes
FAQ:
Q: Can I freeze sautéed cabbage? A: While you technically can freeze it, the texture may become mushy upon thawing, so it’s not recommended.
Q: Can I use pre-shredded cabbage? A: Absolutely! Using pre-shredded cabbage can save you time and effort, making this recipe even more convenient.
Q. Can I freeze raw cabbage? If you have a big cabbage you can definitely shred the whole thing and freeze the leftover portion. Then when you need to use it, it ccan go straight from the freezer to your pan or casserole dish ( in case you want to try that casserole dish I told you about :).
