Sautéed Cabbage with Carrots

Ingredients:

• 1 small head of green cabbage, shredded
• 2 large carrots, peeled and julienned or sliced thinly
• 2 tablespoons olive oil (or butter)
• 1 small onion, finely chopped (optional)
• 2 cloves garlic, minced
• Salt and pepper to taste
• 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional for flavor)
• 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional for tang)
• Fresh parsley for garnish (optional)

Instructions:

1. Prepare the Vegetables: Shred the cabbage and thinly slice or julienne the carrots. Set aside.
2. Sauté the Aromatics: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the onion (if using) and cook until softened, about 3-4 minutes. Add the minced garlic and sauté for another 30 seconds until fragrant.
3. Add Carrots: Stir in the carrots and cook for about 3-4 minutes, stirring occasionally until they start to soften.
4. Cook the Cabbage: Add the shredded cabbage to the pan. Stir to combine with the carrots and cook for about 8-10 minutes, until the cabbage becomes tender. You can cover the pan to help it cook faster.
5. Season: Add salt, pepper, and smoked paprika (if using). Stir well to ensure the seasonings are evenly distributed. If you like a tangy kick, drizzle in the apple cider vinegar.
6. Serve: Garnish with fresh parsley and serve as a side dish or over rice, potatoes, or with your favorite protein.
