Ingredients:

1 tbsp olive oil
14g
1 onion
110g
2 garlic cloves
6g
1/3 cup white wine
72g
1 cup cabbage
100g
1 cup peas
120g
1/4 cup butter
54g

Instructions:

1. Prepare Ingredients:
- Begin by finely chopping the onion.
- Mince the garlic cloves.
- Shred or finely chop the cabbage.
2. Sauté Onions and Garlic:
- 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.
3. Deglaze with White Wine:
- 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.
4. Add Cabbage:
- 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.
5. Incorporate Peas and Butter:
- 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.
6. Season and Serve:
- 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.
