A humble yet deeply satisfying dish, where savory ham mingles with the earthy sweetness of cabbage, all kissed by a touch of garlic and onion. This is comfort food elevated.

Follow The Directions

01

Step

In a large, heavy-bottomed skillet, melt the butter over medium-high heat. (2 minutes)

02

Step

Add the diced ham and chopped onion to the skillet. Cook, stirring occasionally, until the onion is softened and translucent, and the ham begins to brown. (8 minutes)

03

Step

Stir in the minced garlic and cook until fragrant, being careful not to burn it. (2 minutes)

04

Step

Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet and stir to combine with the ham and onion mixture. (2 minutes)

05

Step

Pour in the chicken broth and season with sea salt and freshly ground black pepper. Bring to a simmer.

06

Step

Cover the skillet and reduce the heat to medium-low. Cook until the cabbage is tender-crisp, stirring occasionally. (8 minutes)

07

Step

Remove the lid and continue to cook, allowing any excess liquid to evaporate, until the cabbage is tender and slightly caramelized. (5 minutes)

For a richer flavor, consider using smoked ham hock to make your chicken broth.
A splash of apple cider vinegar or a squeeze of lemon juice at the end can brighten the flavors.
Adjust seasoning to your preference. Some like a pinch of red pepper flakes for a subtle heat.
