5 Ingredient Pork & Cabbage Skillet (AIP, Paleo, Whole30, Keto)

This 5 Ingredient Pork & Cabbage Skillet is so easy & fast! It’s compliant with AIP, Paleo, Whole30, Keto and is gluten free.

Prep Time 10 minutes
Servings 4

Ingredients

  • 1 lb pork loin, cut into thin medallions
  • 1 Tbsp olive oil
  • 1 medium red onion, thinly sliced
  • 1 head green cabbage, thinly sliced
  • 3 Tbsp coconut aminos

Optional extra ingredients:

  • Sea salt, garlic powder, and ginger powder, to taste (AIP)
  • Black pepper, to taste (AIP STAGE 1 REINTRODUCTION)

Instructions

  1. Heat a large cast-iron or stainless steel skillet over medium heat. Add the pork and season with optional extra ingredients to taste, if desired.

  2. Cook until the pork develops a golden crust on all sides and is almost cooked through, approximately 6-8 minutes. Remove from the skillet and set aside.

  3. Add the olive oil to the same skillet, along with the red onion and cabbage. Season with salt to taste, if desired. Cook until the veggies become soft and slightly glossy, around 15-20 minutes.

  4. Return the pork to the skillet and sprinkle with the tamari or coconut aminos. Cook until the pork is fully cooked through and the mixture develops a nice glaze, approximately 3-4 minutes.

  5. Remove from heat and serve immediately. Enjoy!

Recipe Notes

If you have extra time for more AIP & Whole30 ingredients, top with thinly sliced green onions, chopped pineapple, and shredded carrots.

If you’ve reintroduced seeds and seed oils in the AIP reintroduction phase, this goes great topped with sesame seeds and a drizzle of sesame oil.
