How to Make 5 Minute Healthy Sauted Red Cabbage

  1. 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.
  2. Mince 2 cloves of garlic and let it sit for at least 5 minutes to mellow its flavor.
  3. Sprinkle the cabbage with 1 tablespoon of fresh lemon juice before cooking to prevent it from turning blue.
  4. Heat 5 tablespoons of vegetable or chicken broth in a large stainless steel skillet over medium heat.
  5. Once the broth begins to simmer, add the cabbage and minced garlic. Cover the skillet with a lid.
  6. Sauté for 5 minutes, or until the cabbage is tender-crisp, stirring occasionally.
  7. Transfer the sauteed cabbage to a serving bowl.
  8. (Optional) For extra flavor, toss the warm cabbage with your favorite dressing (see suggestions below) and any optional ingredients you like.
