# What You Need:
→ Vegetables
01 - 1 medium head green cabbage, cored and thinly sliced
02 - 9 oz cremini or button mushrooms, sliced
03 - 1 medium yellow onion, thinly sliced
04 - 2 cloves garlic, minced

# How-To Steps:
01 - Heat olive oil in a large sauté pan or skillet over medium heat until shimmering.
02 - Add the onion and cook for 3–4 minutes, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent.
03 - Stir in the garlic and cook for 30 seconds until fragrant, being careful not to burn.
04 - Add the sliced mushrooms and cook, stirring, for 5–6 minutes until they release their juices and begin to brown.
05 - Add the sliced cabbage and thyme. Toss well to combine. Sauté for 8–10 minutes, stirring frequently, until the cabbage is tender but still retains a bit of crisp texture.

# Helpful Tips:
01 -
- Ready in under 40 minutes with ingredients you probably already have in your crisper drawer
- The combination turns humble vegetables into something company-worthy without any fancy techniques
02 -
- Do not rush the mushrooms, they need time to brown properly or they will just taste watery and bland
- The cabbage should still have a slight crunch, not be completely soft, or you lose that satisfying texture
03 -
- Slice your cabbage as thinly as possible for the best texture
- Dry your mushrooms with a paper towel before cooking so they actually brown instead of steam
