Instructions

  • To a large pan, add the butter and melt over a medium heat. Next, add the savoy cabbage into the pan.
  • Season with salt and pepper and saute for 10 to 15 minutes. In the final 2 minutes, add the red pepper flakes, half the pistachios and garlic.
  • Once softened and cooked through. Turn off the heat and add the lemon juice. Stir through, then serve with a crack of black pepper, the remaining pistachios and a pinch of salt.

Notes

Use half the savoy cabbage and store the other half in the fridge until you are ready to use it.
Make sure you use a large sharp knife to cut the slices, as it's faster and easier than using a small knife.
