Description
A vibrant and flavorful skillet dish featuring tender cabbage and nutritious kale, infused with savory garlic and a touch of spice. This quick and easy recipe is perfect as a healthy side or a light main course.
Ingredients
4 tablespoons (56g) unsalted butter (or ghee)
2 tablespoons (30ml) avocado oil, coconut oil, or olive oil
1/2 medium onion, chopped
1/2 head (approx. 400g) green cabbage, chopped
1 pound (450g) Lacinato or dinosaur kale, washed, stems removed, and thinly sliced
2 tablespoons (30ml) low sodium vegetable stock
2 tablespoons fresh parsley, chopped
4 cloves garlic, minced
1/2 teaspoon salt and black pepper, or to taste
1/2 teaspoon red chili pepper flakes, or to taste
Instructions
Heat the butter and oil in a large pan or skillet over medium-high heat. Sauté the chopped onion until softened, about 3 minutes.
Add the chopped cabbage and cook for about 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and caramelized on the edges.
Once the cabbage is ready, add the chopped kale, minced garlic, salt, pepper, and red chili pepper flakes. Cook for about 8-10 minutes, ensuring the vegetables are well-browned and softened.
Pour in the vegetable stock to deglaze the pan. Cook for 2 minutes to reduce the sauce slightly, scraping the bottom of the pan with a wooden spoon to incorporate the delicious browned bits.
Cook the cabbage and kale for an additional half minute until fragrant. Season with more pepper to taste, sprinkle with fresh parsley, and serve the Sauteed Garlic Cabbage Kale Skillet immediately. Enjoy!
Notes
Ensure your pan is large enough to avoid overcrowding the vegetables, which helps them sauté rather than steam.
For a vegan version, simply replace the butter with additional oil.
Adjust the amount of red chili pepper flakes to your preferred spice level.
