Ingredients:
Instructions:
- Begin by finely chopping the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Shred or finely chop the cabbage.
- Heat the olive oil in a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat.
- Add the chopped onion and cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the onions are soft and translucent.
- Add the minced garlic and cook for an additional 1-2 minutes, until fragrant. Be careful not to burn the garlic.
- Pour in the white wine to deglaze the pan. Stir to scrape up any browned bits from the bottom of the pan.
- Let the mixture cook for about 2-3 minutes until the wine reduces slightly.
- Stir in the shredded cabbage and cook for about 5-7 minutes, until the cabbage starts to soften.
- If needed, cover the pan with a lid to help the cabbage cook down, stirring occasionally.
- Once the cabbage is mostly softened, add the peas to the pan.
- Stir to combine, then add the butter.
- Continue to cook and stir for another 5 minutes, or until the peas are heated through and the butter is melted and thoroughly mixed in.
- Season the braised peas and cabbage with salt and pepper to taste.
- Serve hot as a side dish or enjoy it on its own!
Tips:
- For added flavor, use vegetable or chicken broth instead of white wine.
- To enhance the earthy tones, sprinkle in some fresh thyme or rosemary.
- If you prefer a bit of spice, consider adding a pinch of red pepper flakes.
- Ensure your peas are fresh or use good-quality frozen peas to maintain the sweetness and texture.
- Serve with a squeeze of lemon juice for a tangy finish.
