I often eat sauteed cabbage for lunch, so I always look for ways to flavor it. Our family’s favorite way is the raw cabbage salad with toasted sunflower seeds.

When it comes to sautéing, I like to use some turmeric and peas. Sometimes, I flavor it with curry and coconut milk. And often, I will make it with just garlic and butter. Browning the butter just adds another layer of flavor.

Ingredients and substitutes

• Cabbage – Green cabbage works best with turmeric, giving it a wonderful yellow color.
• Onions – I like using red Spanish onions for that added sweetness.
• Garlic – A little goes a long way. I prefer to use sliced, but you can also mince it.
• Butter – Just a little bit of butter for flavor. When browned, the butter has a lovely nutty flavor. If you don’t like brown butter, you can also use olive oil.
• Oregano – Adds a nice flavor to the cabbage when combined with brown butter.

Step-by-step: Sautéed Cabbage

• In a skillet, over medium-low heat, add the butter and garlic. Cook for 2 minutes until the butter becomes brown.
• Next, add the sliced onions and salt. Sauté for another minute. Then, add the oregano, followed by the cabbage—season with salt and pepper.
• Next, add the stock and cook for 3 to 5 minutes until the cabbage is soft and tender.
  Pro tip – If necessary, add 2 tbsp of water to create steam in the cabbage.
• Remove from heat and serve immediately. Garnish with fresh parsley (optional).
