Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
  • 1 head green cabbage cored and thinly sliced (about 10 cups sliced)
  • Juice of 1/2 lemon about 2 tablespoons
  • 1 teaspoon kosher salt
  • ¼ teaspoon ground black pepper
  • Chopped fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Heat oil and butter in large skillet over medium heat. 
  • Add cabbage and cook 20 to 25 minutes or until very soft and lightly browned, stirring occasionally.
  • Stir in lemon juice, salt and pepper. Sprinkle with parsley, if desired, and serve immediately. 

Notes

  • For added flavor, feel free to add diced onions to the skillet when sauteeing the cabbage.
  • To speed up the cooking process, you can cover the skillet with a lid, which will allow the cabbage to steam and soften more quickly.
