✅ Ingredients
- 400 g cabbage, shredded
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tbsp olive oil or avocado oil (or use cooking spray for 0 points)
- ½ cup vegetable or chicken broth (optional, for moisture)
- Seasonings: salt, black pepper, paprika, chili flakes (to taste)
- Optional garnish: fresh parsley or dill
👩🍳 Instructions
- Heat oil (or spray) in a large skillet over medium heat.
- Add onion and sauté 3–4 minutes until soft and slightly golden.
- Stir in garlic, cooking until fragrant (about 1 minute).
- Add shredded cabbage and stir well. Cook 8–10 minutes, stirring often, until tender.
- If mixture gets too dry, add a splash of broth to keep it moist.
- Season with salt, pepper, and spices.
- Garnish with fresh herbs and serve warm.
💡 Notes
- Zero-Point Option: Use cooking spray instead of oil.
- Make it hearty: Add lean ground turkey, chicken breast, or tofu for protein (still very low in points).
