Sautéed Savoy Cabbage with Spring onions and Garlic

This vibrant sautéed Savoy cabbage is a versatile vegan side dish that celebrates the natural sweetness of seasonal greens. By quickly searing the cabbage before steaming it in a lidded frying pan, you achieve a perfect balance between tender leaves and a slight charred depth. The addition of aromatic garlic and the sharp bite of spring onions brings a wonderful complexity to this simple vegetable preparation, making it a reliable staple for any mid-week repertoire.

Low in calories but rich in nutrients, this healthy accompaniment pairs beautifully with traditional Sunday roasts or plant-based mains. Using both the white and green parts of the spring onion ensures a lovely contrast in texture and colour throughout the dish. For the best results, use a heavy-based pan to maintain a consistent heat, ensuring the cabbage wilts evenly without losing its characteristic bright green hue.

How to make Sautéed Savoy Cabbage with Spring onions and Garlic

Chop spring onions, reserving white and dark green parts separately.

Cook spring onion whites and garlic in oil in a 12-inch heavy skillet over medium-high heat, stirring occasionally, until garlic is pale golden, about 3 minutes. Stir in cabbage, 3/4 teaspoons salt, and 1/4 teaspoons pepper and sauté 1 minute. Add water and cook, tightly covered, until cabbage is wilted, about 3 minutes. Add spring onion greens and cook, uncovered, stirring, until most of water has evaporated and cabbage is tender, about 2 minutes. Season with salt and pepper.
