I’ve been making this simple and delicious sautéed cabbage for years, long before I met Brad. Brad hates cooked cabbage, but I bet he would change his mind if he would just give this a try. It has some crunch to it, plus the garlic and olive oil give it a wonderful flavor. If you have any cabbage left over from your St. Patrick’s Day feast, instead of steaming or boiling it, try it this way — you’ll be glad you did!
Ingredients (2-4 servings)
- ¼ head green cabbage
- ¼ head red cabbage (you can use all green if you’d like)
- 1 tablespoon extra virgin olive oil
- 4 garlic cloves, minced
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar
- Sea salt to taste
- Fresh ground pepper to taste
Preparation
While bringing a large pot of water to a boil, slice the cabbage in lengthwise strips.
Blanch the cabbage for 2 minutes, drain and immediately transfer to an ice bath.
Heat the oil in a large skillet. Drain the cabbage again, and pat off any excess water. Add it to the skillet along with the minced garlic. Add the vinegar and season with the salt and pepper. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring constantly.
This is a great side dish, or do like I sometimes do and just eat a big plate of it by itself – it is so good!
Bon appétit!
Eat, drink and be merry!

This is SO good! My husband and I love it. We use it as a topping for our daily salad, along with roasted Brussel sprouts, roasted cauliflower, carrots, etc. It adds such a delicious tangy flavor, and the red adds a welcome splash of color. Thank you for this simple recipe!
Thank you so much for your kind comments! Like you said, it’s a simple recipe and it is so good!
