Vegan Cabbage Recipe (How to Cook Cabbage That My Husband Will Eat)

Cabbage is one of my current favorite seasonal vegetables, so it has been a part of our weekly vegetable rotation for the last couple of months. It’s a little smelly, but the taste more than makes up for it in my opinion. That is why I’m sharing this easy vegan cabbage recipe.

Unfortunately, my husband Reggie didn’t particularly care for the vegetable…up until this week. The boys even caught him throwing away some of his cabbage a couple of weeks ago! (Sean, in particular, took great delight in sharing that “Daddy didn’t eat his vegetables”.)

Last week I mentioned to Reggie that since he didn’t like cabbage that I would take it off the list even though both Michael and Sean eat it. “Oh, I like cabbage,” Reggie said. “I just don’t like it cooked in butter.” What?! When I asked why he had failed to mention that fact to me, he said something to the effect that I had never asked him. Really? Okaaaay.

Anyway, I sautéed the cabbage in olive oil this week instead of butter.  Everyone enjoyed it, so cabbage stays in the rotation. The switch also makes this a vegan cabbage recipe. Below is Reggie’s preferred way to cook cabbage (with olive oil). However, if you aren’t vegan and prefer butter, you can substitute 2 tablespoons of butter for the 2 tablespoons of olive oil. Enjoy!
