Ingredients:
To make Chef AB’s fried cabbage recipe, you’ll need the following ingredients:

Cover the skillet and cook on medium heat for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and caramelized.

If desired, add an additional 2 tablespoons of butter to the skillet at the end to give the cabbage even more flavor.

Season with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.
Pro tips:
