Ingredients

  • 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil 30 ml
  • 1/2 head green cabbage
  • 1/2 head red cabbage
  • 6 cloves garlic
  • 1/2 tbsp sherry vinegar 8 ml
  • handful finely chopped parsley
  • pinch sea salt
  • dash black pepper

Instructions

  1. Remove a couple of the outer leaves from a head of green and a head of red cabbage, cut each head in half, for this recipe we´re only using half the head of each cabbage, cut the halfs into 2 evenly sized pieces and cut off the core, slice the cabbage into 1/4 inch (.635 cm) thick slices

  2. Add the cut cabbage into a strainer and rinse under cold water, then add into a salad spinner and spin the cabbage completely dry

  3. Place the sliced cabbage over paper towels, making sure it´s all in a single layer, evenly spread 1 tbsp (17 grams) of sea salt over the sliced cabbage and let it sit for 30 minutes

  4. After 30 minutes transfer the cabbage back into the strainer, give it a quick rinse to remove the salt and add back to the salad spinner and dry completely

  5. Heat a large deep pan with a medium-high heat

  6. After 5 minutes and the pan is hot, add in 2 tbsp extra virgin olive oil and the sliced cabbage, mix together so all the cabbage is coated in the olive oil, then mix every 2 to 3 minutes so the cabbage is evenly sauteed

  7. After a total cooking time of 10 minutes and the cabbage has a golden sauteed color and some pieces have a crusty sear, add in 6 cloves garlic roughly chopped, 1/2 tbsp sherry vinegar and season with sea salt & black pepper, mix continuously for 1 to 2 minutes, or until the garlic is lightly sauteed and fragrant

  8. Transfer the cabbage into a large serving dish and sprinkle with finely chopped parsley, enjoy!
