Ingredients
  

1 small head of green cabbage, thinly sliced

4 cups kale, stems removed and roughly chopped

4 cloves garlic, minced

2 tablespoons olive oil

1 teaspoon red pepper flakes (optional)

Salt and black pepper to taste

1 tablespoon balsamic vinegar

Juice of 1 lemon

2 tablespoons grated Parmesan cheese (optional)

Fresh parsley, chopped for garnish

Instructions
 

Prepare the Vegetables: Start by rinsing the cabbage and kale under cold water. Thinly slice the cabbage and chop the kale into bite-sized pieces. Mince the garlic cloves.

    Heat the Skillet: In a large skillet, heat the olive oil over medium heat. Once hot, add the minced garlic and red pepper flakes, sautéing for about 30 seconds, just until the garlic becomes fragrant.

      Add Cabbage: Incorporate the sliced cabbage into the skillet, stirring well to coat with the garlic oil. Cook for about 5 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender but still has a bit of crunch.

        Add Kale: Next, stir in the chopped kale. Continue to cook for another 3-4 minutes, or until the kale is wilted and vibrant.

          Season the Mixture: Sprinkle salt and black pepper to taste, then drizzle the balsamic vinegar and lemon juice over the sautéed vegetables. Mix well and let it cook for another minute so the flavors meld together.

            Serve Hot: Remove from heat and sprinkle with grated Parmesan cheese, if desired. Garnish with fresh parsley before serving.
