Ingredients

• 1 head (approximately 1.5 lbs) white cabbage
• 1 medium onion
• 2 cloves garlic
• 2 tablespoons olive oil
• 1 tablespoon unsalted butter
• 1 teaspoon caraway seeds
• 2 tablespoons white wine vinegar
• 1 cup vegetable broth
• 1 teaspoon (or to taste) salt
• 0.5 teaspoon (or to taste) black pepper
• 2 tablespoons (chopped) fresh parsley (optional, for garnish)

Directions

Step 1

Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage, cut it in half, and remove the core. Slice the cabbage thinly into shreds.

Step 2

Peel and finely chop the onion and garlic.

Step 3

Heat a large skillet or sauté pan over medium heat and add the olive oil and butter. Swirl to combine as the butter melts.

Step 4

Add the chopped onion to the skillet and sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring frequently, until the onion becomes translucent.

Step 5

Stir in the garlic and cook for another 30 seconds, until fragrant.

Step 6

Add the shredded cabbage to the skillet. Toss to combine it with the onions and garlic. Cook for 5-6 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the cabbage begins to soften and shrink.

Step 7

Sprinkle the caraway seeds over the cabbage, stir, and cook for 1 minute to release their flavor.

Step 8

Pour in the white wine vinegar and vegetable broth. Stir well and bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.

Step 9

Season with salt and black pepper to taste. Cover the skillet with a lid and reduce the heat to low.

Step 10

Let the cabbage cook, covered, for about 10-12 minutes, stirring occasionally, until tender but not mushy. Adjust the seasoning if necessary.

Step 11

Remove the skillet from the heat and let it rest for a few minutes. Optionally, garnish with fresh parsley before serving.

Step 12

Serve warm as a side dish or alongside hearty bread for a light meal.
