Sautéed Cabbage

This recipe came to me almost by accident. I wanted to make something I could twirl on my fork and eat with an amazing homemade sauce I had made. By the time I’d finished cooking the cabbage, I had abandoned that plan and focused on eating the cabbage as is. I love that you can twirl the cabbage with your fork—that may even be my favorite part. This would make a great side (especially in colder months), and if you want, you can add some sesame seeds and/or tamari to make it a bit more flavorful.

Cook Mode

Ingredients

1 yellow onion
2 tablespoons avocado oil
4 large garlic cloves, roughly chopped
½ teaspoon salt
1 green cabbage
Juice of ½ lemon
1 tablespoon tamari or 2 tablespoons soy sauce (optional)
1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil (optional)
Sesame seeds (optional)

Directions

Heat the avocado oil in a large pan over medium-high heat.
Thinly slice the onion and add to the pan. Cook for 2-3 minutes then add the garlic.
Lower the heat to medium-low so the garlic doesn’t burn.
Add the salt and let cook while you cut the cabbage.
Cut the cabbage into ¼” slices and add them to the pan. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally so the cabbage wilts but keeps its crunch.
Stir in the lemon juice and transfer the cabbage to a bowl.
Optional: Add 1 tablespoon tamari (or 2 tablespoons soy sauce) and 1 tablespoon toasted sesame oil. Top with sesame seeds. (I prefer it without, but this is a good way to elevate it.)
