The lemon is quite mild in this dish, but brightens the taste of the cabbage beautifully. Serve with boiled eggs for a quick lunch, or with chicken, fish, or meat of your choice for an easy dinner.
To make lemony cooked cabbage:
Start by shredding the cabbage. Quarter the cabbage and cut out the core. Cut each quarter crosswise in half and finely shred. Set aside.
Heat the extra virgin olive oil in a large skillet or Dutch oven over medium-high heat. Add the finely chopped onion and sauté until soft and light brown in colour.
Add the garlic (and chili flakes if using) and cook for a minute until fragrant.
Start adding the shredded cabbage, a bit at a time - I usually do it in four batches. Cover with a lid - this will help to steam the cabbage. Wait for the first batch to wilt a bit before adding the next, and so on. Each batch will take approximately 10 minutes.
Once the cabbage is all in and wilted down, cook an additional 5-10 minutes, or until fully wilted.
Add the salt and pepper and incorporate. Taste, and adjust the seasoning if needed.
Remove from the heat and add the lemon juice. Toss and spoon onto a serving dish to serve hot, or set aside and serve at room temperature.
Drizzle with a bit of olive oil, and a sprinkle of chopped parsley for presentation if you'd like. Have a bowl of lemon wedges available for those who want extra lemon flavour.
Enjoy!
