When you think Italian, you don’t often think of a sauteed cabbage recipe. However, Sautéed Cabbage and Onions is a surprisingly popular dish in Italy. The star of the show? A whole head of savoy cabbage– an extremely flavorful cabbage popular in Italy.
This savoy cabbage recipe starts with boiling the cabbage. Make a classic Italian ‘sofrito’ (olive oil infused with garlic and onions), then add bite-size pieces of boiled cabbage to the sauteed onions. Flavor with a good quality dry white wine, coarse salt and red pepper flakes. It’s that easy!
This savoy cabbage recipe is more nutritious and flavorful than heavily fried cabbage. You’ll never look at cabbage the same way again. It’s the best cabbage recipe ever!
This is also a vegan cabbage recipe!
TIP: Eat alone, or enjoy the finished Sautéed Cabbage and Onions inside a homemade focaccia.

TIP: Always use SAVOY cabbage (not ‘green cabbage’). Savoy cabbage has a very different texture and much more flavor than the green cabbage often used in slaws.
