Ingredients

For the Skillet

2 tablespoons butter Adds a rich flavor for sautéing; can be substituted with olive oil for a dairy-free option.
1 tablespoon oil (e.g., olive or vegetable) A cooking medium that enhances flavor and prevents sticking during the sauté.
1 whole onion Provides natural sweetness; yellow or white onions work best for this dish.
1/2 head cabbage The star ingredient that gives texture and bulk; red cabbage can add a beautiful splash of color.
1 bunch kale Boosts nutrition and adds a vibrant tone; replace with spinach for a different green.
3-4 cloves garlic Brings aromatic depth; using fresh garlic makes all the difference.
salt Essential seasoning to bring out flavors; adjust according to your taste.
pepper Essential seasoning to bring out flavors; adjust according to your taste.
red chili pepper flakes Optional for a touch of heat; omit for a milder sauté.

Step-by-Step Instructions for Garlic Sautéed Cabbage Kale Skillet

In a large skillet, heat 2 tablespoons of butter and 1 tablespoon of oil over medium-high heat. Allow the butter to melt and become foamy, which usually takes about 1 minute.
Add one chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for about 3 minutes, or until the onion becomes translucent and slightly golden.
Next, introduce half a head of thinly sliced cabbage to the skillet. Cook for 4-5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens and its edges are caramelized.
Mix in a bunch of chopped kale, along with 3-4 minced garlic cloves, salt, pepper, and red chili pepper flakes if desired. Continue to cook for another 8-10 minutes.
Pour in 1/4 cup of vegetable stock to deglaze the pan, scraping up any flavorful bits stuck to the bottom. Cook for an additional 2 minutes.
Give it a final stir. Taste and adjust the seasonings if necessary. Remove the pan from heat and sprinkle fresh parsley on top.
Your Garlic Sautéed Cabbage Kale Skillet is now ready to be served! Enjoy it hot as a delightful side dish.
