Servings: 4 servings
Ingredients
- 1 small green cabbage (about 2 pounds), quartered and cored
- 3 tablespoons extra virgin olive oil
- 1 small yellow onion, halved and thinly sliced
- 2 large garlic cloves, minced
- Kosher salt
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper
- 1/2 teaspoon ground coriander
- 1 lime, juiced
- Creamy Feta Dressing or Tahini Sauce (optional), to serve
Instructions
- Shred the cabbage. Using a sharp knife, remove the core by cutting into it at an angle where the stems and leaves meet. Slice the cabbage wedges thinly, or shred them in a food processor fitted with a slicing blade or using a mandoline slicer. If the cabbage seems wet, pat it dry.
- Sauté the cabbage. Heat a large cast iron skillet over medium-high heat and add 3 tablespoons of extra virgin olive oil. When the oil is just shimmering, add the cabbage, onions, and garlic. It will look like you have a lot in the pan, but it will cook down quickly.
- Season the cabbage. Add a good pinch of kosher salt, crushed red pepper flakes or Aleppo pepper, and ground coriander. Continue to cook the cabbage, tossing occasionally, until it has fully softened and caramelized.
- Finish and serve. Remove the pan from heat and finish with the lime juice. If you like, drizzle the cabbage with Feta Dressing or Tahini Sauce and serve.
