Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon olive oil
  • 1 onion
  • 1 small green cabbage
  • ¼ cup vegetable broth
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ¼ teaspoon pepper

Instructions

  • First, prep your veggies. Cut the onion in thin slices. Core the cabbage and chop into pieces.
  • Heat the olive oil in a large pan over medium high heat. Add the onions and cabbage and sauté for 5 minutes, stirring frequently.
  • Add the vegetable broth, stir and cover the pan. Lower the heat and cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
  • Remove the cover and add the salt and pepper. Stir well while continuing to cook for another 5 minutes. Serve and enjoy!
  • Store the cooled cabbage in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days.

Equipment

  • Large skillet with lid
  • Cutting board

Notes

  • If you don't have a small cabbage, you can use ½ of a large cabbage.
  • This can also be made using red cabbage.
  • To make this dish spicy, add some red pepper flakes.
  • If you'd like a little sweetness, chop or thinly slice a peeled apple and add it in when adding the vegetable broth.
