  2. Place 2 wedges of green cabbage into a sous vide pouch along with ⅛ teaspoon saffron, 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon salt, ¼ teaspoon pepper, and 1 tablespoon of minced garlic. Seal the pouch.
  3. Repeat with the other wedges, but don’t include the saffron for the red cabbage pieces. After sealing, allow to compress. Marinate in the refrigerator for 2 hours.
