• Chickpeas - 100 grams, cooked
• Salt - to taste
• Black pepper - to taste
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated (optional)

Steps

1. Begin by washing the cabbage and removing the core. Slice the cabbage into thin strips.
2. In a large skillet or saucepan, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and sauté until translucent, about 5 minutes.
