Ingredients
- 1 medium head of Savoy cabbage, chopped
- 1 tablespoon olive oil
- 1 medium onion, sliced
- 2 garlic cloves, minced
- 1/2 teaspoon mustard seeds (optional)
- Salt and pepper to taste
- 1/4 cup vegetable broth or water
- 1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar (optional)
- 1/2 teaspoon smoked paprika (optional)
Instructions

- Stir in the garlic and cook for another minute until fragrant.
- Add the chopped Savoy cabbage, salt, and pepper. Stir to combine.
- Pour in the vegetable broth or water and cover the skillet. Let the cabbage cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until it becomes tender but still retains some crunch.

- Serve warm as a side dish or as a topping for other meals.
Notes
