Ingredients

Scale

Ingredients

  • 2 1/2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 3 cloves garlic, minced
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 medium head green cabbage, shredded (about 8 cups)
  • 1/2 cup Parmesan cheese, shredded
  • Salt and pepper, to taste

Instructions

  1. Heat the olive oil: Place a large skillet over high heat and add 2 1/2 tablespoons of olive oil. Allow the oil to heat until shimmering but not smoking.
  2. Sauté garlic and onion: Add the minced garlic and thinly sliced red onion to the hot skillet. Cook for about 2 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent and the garlic is fragrant.
  3. Cook the cabbage: Add the shredded green cabbage to the skillet. Stir well and continue to cook, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage wilts and softens, about 4-5 minutes.
  4. Add Parmesan cheese: Sprinkle 1/2 cup of shredded Parmesan over the cooked cabbage mixture. Stir to combine the cheese evenly as it melts into the cabbage.
  5. Season and serve: Taste and season with salt and pepper as desired. Serve the Parmesan garlic cabbage warm as a delicious and nutritious side dish.

Notes

  • For extra flavor, add a pinch of red pepper flakes when sautéing the garlic and onions.
  • This dish pairs well with roasted chicken or grilled meats.
  • Use freshly grated Parmesan for the best texture and taste.
  • To make it vegetarian, ensure the Parmesan cheese is vegetarian-friendly (no animal rennet).
  • Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days and reheated gently on the stovetop.
