I still remember the first time I cooked with savoy cabbage—I had picked up a beautifully crinkled, deep green head from a local farmer’s market, unsure of what to do with it. But once I sautéed it with garlic and butter, I was amazed at how tender and flavorful it became. Since then, savoy cabbage has been a staple in my kitchen, perfect for hearty winter meals or light summer stir-fries. If you’re looking for a simple yet delicious savoy cabbage recipe, you’re in the right place!
Ingredients
- 1 medium savoy cabbage, shredded
- 2 tablespoons olive oil or butter
- 3 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 small onion, finely chopped
- ½ teaspoon salt
- ½ teaspoon black pepper
- ½ teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)
- ½ cup vegetable or chicken broth (for added flavor)
- 1 tablespoon lemon juice or apple cider vinegar

How to Make a Savoy Cabbage Recipe?
Step 1: Prepare the Cabbage
Remove any tough outer leaves from the savoy cabbage and cut it into quarters. Slice out the core and finely shred the leaves.
Step 2: Sauté the Aromatics
In a large pan, heat the olive oil or butter over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and garlic, sautéing until soft and fragrant (about 2-3 minutes).
Step 3: Cook the Cabbage
Add the shredded savoy cabbage to the pan. Season with salt, black pepper, and red pepper flakes if using. Stir well to coat the cabbage in the oil and spices.
Step 4: Add Broth and Simmer
Pour in the vegetable or chicken broth and cover the pan. Let it cook for 8-10 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still slightly crisp.
Step 5: Finish and Serve
Remove from heat and drizzle with lemon juice or apple cider vinegar for a bright, fresh flavor. Sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese if desired. Serve hot as a side dish or mix with pasta or grains for a hearty meal.
