How to Make 5 Minute Healthy Sauted Red Cabbage
- Quarter a medium red cabbage (about 1 pound) and thinly slice it into 1/4-inch strips. Let it sit for at least 5 minutes to release its natural sweetness and beneficial compounds.
- Mince 2 cloves of garlic and let it sit for at least 5 minutes to mellow its flavor.
- Sprinkle the cabbage with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice before cooking to prevent it from turning blue.
- Heat 5 tablespoons of vegetable or chicken broth in a large stainless steel skillet over medium heat.
- Once the broth begins to simmer, add the cabbage and minced garlic. Cover the skillet with a lid.
- Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
- Transfer the sauteed cabbage to a serving bowl.
- (Optional) For extra flavor, toss the warm cabbage with your favorite dressing (see suggestions below) and any optional ingredients you like.
Chef's Tip for Extra Flavor
Want to unlock deeper, more complex flavors? Try toasting your whole spices before grinding them, or blooming ground spices in a little warm oil to enhance their aroma. Deglazing your pan with a bit of stock, wine, or even water after browning ingredients can capture those tasty caramelized bits, adding richness to your dish.
