Ingredients
  

1 small head of green cabbage, thinly sliced

4 cups kale, stems removed, chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 tablespoon apple cider vinegar

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (adjust to taste)

Salt and pepper, to taste

Juice of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons nutritional yeast (optional for a cheesy flavor)

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Heat the Oil: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat.

    Sauté Garlic: Once the oil is hot, add the minced garlic. Sauté for about 1-2 minutes until fragrant, being careful not to burn it.

      Add Cabbage: Add the sliced cabbage to the skillet. Stir well to coat with the garlic and oil, cooking for about 5-7 minutes until the cabbage starts to soften.

        Incorporate Kale: Add the chopped kale to the skillet. Continue to sauté for an additional 5-7 minutes until both the cabbage and kale are wilted and tender.

          Season: Stir in the apple cider vinegar, red pepper flakes, salt, and pepper. Mix well to combine all flavors.

            Add Lemon Juice: Squeeze the fresh lemon juice over the mixture and stir again. If using, sprinkle the nutritional yeast and mix thoroughly.

              Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
