Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoons olive oil
  • 1 small yellow onion thinly sliced
  • 2 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 small head green cabbage thinly sliced (about 6–7 cups)
  • 1 teaspoon cumin
  • ½ teaspoon coriander
  • ½ teaspoon salt
  • ½ teaspoon black pepper
  • ½ lemon juiced
  • 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley

Instructions

  • Heat the olive oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, until softened.
  • Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant.
  • Add the cabbage, cumin, coriander, salt, and pepper. Toss well to coat.
  • Cook for 8–10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage softens but still has a little bite.
  • Remove from heat and stir in the lemon juice and parsley.

Notes

My Top Tip: Use the largest skillet you have and stir only occasionally. Giving the cabbage time to sit against the hot pan helps it brown instead of steam, which makes a big difference in the final texture.
Storage: Store leftover sauteed cabbage in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 4 days. Reheat in a skillet over medium heat or in the microwave until warmed through.
