Ingredients

  • 1 large head of green cabbage core removed, and chopped
  • 1 medium red yellow, or sweet Vidalia onion, peeled and sliced thin
  • 1 large carrot cut into ribbons
  • 1 1/2 tbsp of extra virgin olive oil
  • 1 1/2 tbsp of melted ghee or unsalted butter
  • sea salt to taste
  • freshly cracked black peppercorns to taste
  • red pepper flakes to taste

Instructions

  • Prep the cabbage by removing the outer layer of cabbage leaves, slicing the cabbage down the middle and removing the core, and chopping the cabbage into thin to medium slices. 
  • Peel a red onion, or onion of choice, cut off both ends, cut the onion in half, and cut the halves into thin slices. 
  • Rinse and peel the carrot, using a potato peeler to cut the carrot into ribbons. 
  • Place a large skillet over medium heat; add the EVOO and melted unsalted butter when the pan is hot. 
  • Add the cabbage, onion, and carrots to the hot skillet, making sure to spread the mixture into an even layer.
  • Season with sea salt, freshly cracked black peppercorns, and red pepper flake to taste. 
  • When the cabbage begins to light brown and wilt, use a large spoon to turn the cabbage over, turn the burner to medium-low and continue to stir occasionally until the cabbage is tender. 
  • Taste and, if necessary, adjust seasoning to your liking. 
  • Serve hot.
