Cabbage fried in a pan

Ingredients:

• 1 small head of white cabbage, including outer green leaves (1.1 kg)
• 2 tablespoons unsalted butter
• 1.5 tsp coarse salt
• 0.5 tsp ground black pepper

Preparation:

1. Cut the cabbage in half, place it cut side down, and shred as thinly as possible around the core, as for coleslaw. Discard the core.
2. In a large skillet or heavy-bottomed saucepan, melt the butter over medium-high heat. Add the cabbage, salt, and black pepper and cook for 10-15 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage is tender and beginning to brown. Season with salt to taste and serve hot.
