Ranks compare each pair with 20,000 random ingredient pairs on CompKitchen. How we score pairs

What each ingredient does

Green cabbage
Forms the bulk of the dish and softens into tender strands as it sautés and steams.
Butter
Adds fat for sautéing and carries flavor across the cabbage.
Dijon mustard
Adds sharp, tangy flavor that balances the sweetness of the cooked cabbage.

The step that matters

Sauté for 3 minutes, stirring constantly. Cabbage cooks unevenly if left still, and constant stirring keeps pieces in contact with the hot pan so they soften and brown lightly rather than scorching in spots.
