Steps:
- Trim the cabbage, then shred it. To shred, cut the cabbage in half, then slice each half into thin slices and separate the slices with your hands into strips, as shown in the video below. Place the strips in a colander and rinse.
- Transfer the rinsed cabbage to a large, deep skillet, without drying it off - the water adhering to the cabbage will allow it to steam. You can a tablespoon of water to the bottom of the pan, but I usually don't find it necessary.
- Turn the heat to medium-high and cover the skillet. When the cabbage starts to steam, which should take about a minute, lower the heat to medium.
- Steam, covered, for about 5 minutes. Uncover, stir, and cook for 2 more minutes to allow any remaining water to evaporate. If you still have too much water in the pan, you can drain it into a colander.
- Add the butter, garlic, salt, and black pepper, stirring to combine. Cook for 2 more minutes, stirring, until the butter has melted. Garnish, if desired, with dried parsley and red pepper flakes. Serve warm.
