Ingredients

  • 3 tbsp butter grassfed preferably
  • 1 white onion diced
  • ¼ cup garlic whole or crushed cloves, skin off
  • 1 cabbage (use half if very large cabbage - whole head if small) sliced into thin strips
  • 1 tsp salt celtic sea salt preferred

Instructions

  • Heat butter in large pan on medium-high heat until melted and foamy. 
  • Add diced onions to pan, cook until soft and transparent, about 4 minutes. Stir to prevent sticking or burning. 
  • Add garlic to pan, cook until fragrant and soft, about 3 minutes. 
  • Add cabbage to pan and toss well to coat in butter. 
  • Generously season with salt. 
  • Let cabbage reduce by half, about 10 minutes, stirring occasionally as it cooks down to prevent burning and allow it to cook evenly. 
  • When cabbage has lost much of it's volume and started to turn shiny, slightly translucent, and has lovely browned bits, it is ready to serve. 
  • Remove from heat and plate with your favorite meat, casserole, fish, or other main dish!
