Ingredients
  

For the Sauté
  • 2 tablespoons Butter Adds a rich flavor; swap with olive oil for a dairy-free option.
  • 1 tablespoon Neutral Oil Use any neutral oil like canola or avocado for sautéing.
  • 1 medium Onion Select yellow or red onion for the best sweetness and depth.
For the Veggies
  • 1/2 head Cabbage Chop thinly for even cooking.
  • 1 bunch Kale Remove tough stems and chop leaves.
  • 2-3 cloves Garlic Adjust to taste for personal preference.
Seasonings
  • Salt Season to taste.
  • Pepper Season to taste.
  • Red Chili Pepper Flakes Optional, adjust according to your preference.
For Deglazing
  • 1/2 cup Vegetable Stock Chicken stock is a flavorful alternative.

Equipment

  • Large skillet

Method
 

Step-by-Step Instructions
  1. Begin by placing a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add butter and oil, melting them together until the mixture sizzles lightly, about 1-2 minutes.
  2. Once the skillet is hot, add chopped onion. Sauté for about 3 minutes until soft and translucent.
  3. Next, add thinly sliced cabbage into the skillet. Stir well and cook for 4-5 minutes, allowing the cabbage to wilt.
  4. Stir in chopped kale and minced garlic, seasoning with salt and pepper. Cook for an additional 8-10 minutes.
  5. Pour in vegetable stock to deglaze the pan, scraping any bits stuck at the bottom. This should take about 2 minutes.
  6. Let the mixture cook for another minute until well-coated and fragrant. Adjust seasoning if necessary, then serve immediately.
