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
Chef's secret: layers of flavor make a dish truly memorable! Consider what a little extra something could bring – perhaps a touch of acidity like a good vinegar or citrus zest, a hint of smokiness from paprika, a bit of umami from mushrooms or soy sauce, or a sprinkle of toasted nuts for texture. Experiment and taste as you go!
