Notes

  • Throw in a couple tablespoons of apple cider vinegar or soy sauce to add extra flavor.
  • Use 1 head green cabbage (or red) to double the batch.
  • Caraway seeds are a great addition to this easy low-carb side dish.
  • You can serve this dish as a main course when you bulk it up with your meat protein of choice.
  • Spice up the recipe by adding red pepper flakes, a dash or two of hot sauce or additional cayenne pepper.
  • For a meaty side, chop a few strips of bacon (use turkey bacon for a leaner option!) and add them to the pan while frying. The salty bacon will add such great flavor to the dish.
  • You can also toss cooked shredded chicken thighs or breasts into the mix. Cook until heated through.
  • Add dried or fresh herbs of your choice to season this side dish just the way you want it. Add thyme, fresh parsley, cumin, chives, oregano or whatever your heart desires! 
  • Sprinkle fresh lemon juice over the top just before serving!
