Ingredients

• Red cabbage - 400 grams
• Olive oil - 2 tablespoons
• Garlic - 2 cloves, minced
• Onion - 1 medium, finely chopped
• Vegetable broth - 200 ml
• Apple cider vinegar - 1 tablespoon
• Bay leaf - 1
• Thyme - 1 teaspoon, dried
• Salt - 1 teaspoon
• Black pepper - 1/2 teaspoon
• Red chili flakes - 1/4 teaspoon (optional)
• Parmesan cheese - 30 grams, grated (for serving)

Steps

1. Begin by slicing the red cabbage into thin strips and set aside.
2. In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and minced garlic; sauté until the onion becomes translucent, about 5 minutes.
3. Add the sliced red cabbage to the skillet and stir well to combine with the onions and garlic.
4. Pour in the vegetable broth and apple cider vinegar. Add the bay leaf, thyme, salt, black pepper, and red chili flakes (if using). Stir everything together.
